Is there not a product or service out there that can aid in the repair of sandblasted windscreens?
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Any suggestions? It's not horrible, just a lot worse than before.
The group came across a ton of gravel and sand in the North Georgia Mtn's. Great ride, but all of us got badly sandblasted.
Is there not a product or service out there that can aid in the repair of sandblasted windscreens? Any input would be great.
I believe there are polishing services out there to remove minor irregularities. Keep in mind that most states require auto insurers to cover damage to windshields at 0 deductible. I'd contact your agent to see what is covered. I had a crack about a year ago and had it replaced with all OEM components at no cost.
Good rule of thumb:
if you can catch it with your nail, it will not polish out without distorting the view. If it doesnt catch your nail, the imperfections should polish out.
That's what I have heard too. Lots of junk on the roads this time of year.
While it will not help the existing defects, has anyone had that windshield treatment (forgot the name) that the dealers kind of push when you purchase the car? Supposed to resist this type of problem.

i have a card at home for a local group that will process / polish your windshield. i watched them do this to a few cars; it really seemed to work very well. i'll bring the card thursday.
