When the sun hits the windshield at a low angle, it looks like my car was driven through storms of rocks & sand, with all the tiny little pits & small scratches.

Is there a way to repair the glass so it's nice & clear again?

You can polish glass to remove small imperfections and scratches but it's a lot of work if you need to do the whole windshield. I used <A HRef=http://www.eastwoodco.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=2024&itemType=PRODUCT&iProductID=2024>this kit</a> from Eastwood to remove some fairly deep scratches from when a previous owner ran the wipers with no blades. Keep in mind that you can probably get a new windshield installed for around $250 so when you add up the cost of the kit and a polisher to use it with and a whole bunch of hours of your time you have to make a decision.

If you do go with a polishing compound and wheel be real careful of heat build up. Laminated glass is not too tolerant of heat and pressure on a small area. I did try it on my 82ZX when I worked at a glass shop. the pits are usually too deep to polish out, changed out windshield in the end.
