June 12, 200519 yr Author comment_127155 Rick-Your mention of cardboard to polish gave me an idea. I used some heavy corrugated cardboard as a sanding pad, applied some Brasso to it, and polished the windscreen (after cleaning the glass with water & then glass cleaner.) I went up & down- across the scratches, like you would with sandpaper. I only did one side with a little overlap for ease. I cleaned with a glass cleaner afterward (Eagle One 20/20) to get any polish off & make it sparkle.It took several applications, but I believe I got the driver's side polished to be very clear. A drive in the dark had MUCH less glare & the headlights seemed brighter too. I think I can still see a trace of the wiper scratches from the outside, but I think it'll come out with the next polish, if I do one. I used the same piece of carboard for the whole process. I think the accumulation of dried-on ( or embedded) polish helped.I should probably polish the other side to match, and the rest of the windows to make it consistent.thanks, mate.

June 12, 200519 yr Author comment_127194 That's 'the good oil' mate.The heavy cardboard gives a large surface area and has the strength to apply pressure evenly. I think it saves time (works efficiently) and you can get into the corners, if you cut corners into the card (Cut the card to the shape you need.) As long as you use a glass cleaner before the polishing, you can just keep adding more Brasso to the card, because it won't be getting dirty.thx Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/16182-windscreen-scratch-removal-with-brasso/?&page=2#findComment-127194 Share on other sites More sharing options...
