Re: Polishing scratched windscreens
you can do it your self, use buffing compound and a electric polisher.
As you get closer to the smooth finish, use finer and finer grit buffing compound.
good Luck

Re: Polishing scratched windscreens
It all depends how deep it is, normally you use the fine grit, ie the same you polish blemishes out on your paint work.
