I doubt it. You might try asking a couple of auto glass replacement places.

You can also look at Griot's Garage website. They have some kind of a glass refinishing product.

Just be careful: you may make things worse!

Lots of options out there. Do an Internet search on 'glass scratch repair kits'

The glass on the Vettes is most definately the softest on any car that I have ever owned. Very disappointing.

I have winshield wiper lines on my front glass (can only see under the correct lighting circumstances -- cant even feel them with a fingernail) and they cannot be gotten out.

I tried Diamondite glass polishing/restoration kits used WITH a UDM buffer) and they didnt help. I contacted Zaino and they said that their polish is mild, and if the Diamondite stuff didnt work, then theirs wouldnt either (at least they were honest).

I talked to a couple of glass shops and they wont do it. They said that polishing tiny scratches out (more than just one or two spots that is) will hurt the integrity of the glass and or warp viewing angles.

Ran through the same exercise. No help, no solution. The real world advice is "learn to live with it or replace the windshield." I'm living with it.
