How to Deal with Windshield Scratches Caused by Wipers?

For small and shallow scratches, they can be removed through polishing. Slowly apply the gel along the crack in the glass, being patient to avoid uneven surfaces, which are especially noticeable under sunlight. If the glass scratches are deep, it is recommended to choose a reliable and reputable professional repair shop for restoration.

I remember last time my wiper scratched the windshield, making the view blurry, which was really annoying. Actually, this issue is mostly caused by the wiper blades aging and hardening or having sand particles stuck in them. When dealing with it, you first need to judge the depth of the scratches: if it's a shallow scratch, you can buy some glass polish, apply it on a clean cloth, and gently rub it back and forth a few times to repair it; but if the damage is deep, you should go to a professional shop for polishing or directly replace the windshield—don’t try to fix it yourself. To prevent this from happening, I now replace my wiper blades every six months, and I’ve also made it a habit to clean dust off the windshield when washing the car to avoid debris friction. A clear windshield makes driving safer, and safety always comes first.
