The missus had an issue with the alfa earier and the wiper blade snapped of leaving the metal arm free to make a light scratch on the screen.

I'm sure it will polish out but what product is best?

Cheers,

ban her from using the car, quite clearly she can't be trusted, buy her a nice cheap bike, like a DRZ, in a conspicuous colour such as banana yellow to remind her she needs training before she's allowed near anything with an engine...

DOnt think the autoglym will look at it, its mainly a cleaner / polish not for remocing scratches. If you dont have any luck with it or the autosol, There is a aircraft window polish designed for getting scratches out of hardened perspex, it may work on glass, Cant remember the name as i got it a while ago and not at home just now so cant check. PM me (in case i miss the post) if you need the details.

Autosol - Really?

I'm a bit wary of using that on the drivers side. Might try it on a small patch elsewhere first.

Just tried the Autoglym stuff and it didn't touch it. Am I right in thinking a big scratch like that might be an MOT failure?

Just going through the shed and found some 'Rain Away' which I used to use on my lid, when I could be bothered.

It fills in small imperfection on screens and visor etc. about 10 applications and polishes later and hey presto no scratch!!!

Thanks all.

Here it is:

Just to fully test the claims I have done half of the windscreen, half the rear window and one lot of side windows. Not that I was that interested in the claims, I was just bored between applications!!!
