Use with an electric drill. Quote Link to comment

Just Joel Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Yeah, PO ran the wipers for a while without a wiper blade on the driver’s side... Now there is a groove where the arm tacks. Along the same lines but is there a way of filling/buffing this out? Later Joel Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Yes, scratches and wiper burns can be buffed out. I hear it takes a lot of time and patience but it does work. Let me know how it goes cause I need to do the same to mine (wiper burn). Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 What I wanna know is what kinda dumbass will run their wipers for any amount of time without the wiper blade on? Especially on the driver's side; if you don't have a wiper on the driver's side, it's not gonna do you any damn good to run the wipers! Good grief..:blink: The PO of my wagon managed to put a nice gash in the window, too. Hope that buffing kit works, let me know. I have some buffin' to do as well. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I dunno why either, but it's pretty common for people to do it. Quote Link to comment
gokiburix Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 (edited) ...my PO did the same. I wonder why this is so common~~~ it starts with a R and ends with -etard Edited December 10, 2009 by gokiburix Quote Link to comment
71DIMER Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Here's a $20 kit that's probably worth trying. http://www.caswellplating.com/buffs/glass.htm Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 i've heard if you can run your finger across the scratch and feel it catch it with your finger nail that its too deep to buff out. just what i heard. Quote Link to comment
retlaw808 Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 I saw the guys from TRUCKS! on Spike TV use this glass polishing kit from Eastwood to restore a windshield http://search.eastwood.com/search?asug=&w=glass&p=Q&ts=custom Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Jewelers polish works great. Quote Link to comment
WagDatto Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Wire wheel and a bucket of sand/pebbles. Any of the kits mentioned should work for at least some of what you guys have. But if it's a groove worn down into the glass, it's probably too deep to salvage. Might help take care of some of the other blemishes, though! Quote Link to comment
