Go to a glass shop and ask for pumice and a polishing block. Cost me under ten dollars, takes a good hour to polish your windshield.

Does polishing the windshield get rid of the tiny little pits in the glass that are probably caused by wind blown sand? I can only see these pits when the sun is shining almost directly into the windshield. Also, Is there any way a klutz like me could damage my windshield by trying to polish it using your pumice and polishing block method?

Thanks, Kim
