Windscreen Scuffs
My windscreen wipers that were replaced in April have left some rather nice scuff marks accross my windscreen! Can they be removed? I've tried polishing with glass cleaner but its no good. Seeing as I've got to pop to Halfrauds to get some new wipers I wondered if there is anything they sell to remove it?
I know the MG Forums has a scrubbers section and the answer is most likely in there but I can't get on! It says i'm forbidden!?! |

Jewellers Rouge is the proprietory material used for polishing glass, I believe some people have also used tooth paste with some success. Basically a very fine grinding paste is what is required.
http://www.briliant.biz/ I just Googled and this was the first item on the list, not a personal recommendation. Hope this helps |

Halfords had absolutely nothing, was going to clean car at same time and couldn't even get a wash mit! The lad I spoke to was at a loss as well. Spoke to those chaps who do free windscreen chip repairs and he said he wasn't sure.
I will try the toothpaste, what do I do? Put a small amount on a cloth and gently rub? Or does it need a fair amount? |
