Windscreen Scratched By The Wipers

[ThilakR]

Hi

The windscreen has scratched badly by the wiper. Is there any possibility to polish the windscreen or something to get rid of those scratches without replacing the windscreen?

Appreciate your expert advices?

Many thanks

There are places that you can get this done. Clean P**k is one of them. There should be cheaper other places as well. After the scratch removal, use a good pair of wiper blades. If you can find cerium oxide that’ll do the trick.

yeah Klee* P*rk does windscreen polishing ,and thus far they are the only place i've come across that does it - only issue is the Cost..

Minimum figure for glass polishing was around Rs. 10,000 !!!!!!!

i got a quote for the windscreen & front windows and the they said it would be over Rs.15,000 !!

Hi,

You can also look up Samarasinghe Windscreen House who are sort of the pioneers in windscreen related stuff way before Clean Park entered the scene.

They used to do polishing, filling of cracks etc.

You can look them up on google....

Thilak

Cerium Oxide is a pale yellow-white powder and we use this in the lapidary and Jewellery sector. This is also used to polish glass and spectacle lenses. This is one of the agents that they use in Windscreen polishing as well. Check with a Chemical dealer and try it on an unnoticeable corner first. But without the correct tools to buff, you’ll have to be very very patient with the job.

The procedure is exactly the same as headlight polishing according to my understanding and it's pretty straightforward. You can DIY at home.
