I've seen quite a few car glass scratches, especially on the windshield, and many friends have asked me how to fix them. Actually, minor scratches can be addressed with common household items. For example, applying toothpaste to a cloth and gently rubbing the scratch for a few minutes can help, as the abrasives in the toothpaste can fill in small pits. For deeper scratches, you can purchase glass polish and repair paste, spray it on, and then use an electric tool to polish in circular motions. Remember, always perform these operations indoors with good lighting to avoid direct sunlight, and prioritize safety. If you're inexperienced with the tools, don't force it on fragile glass—getting it professionally fixed only costs a few dozen bucks. I've learned from my own mistakes; always check the light transmission after polishing to ensure it doesn't obstruct your view during night driving. Preventing scratches is also crucial—regularly replacing wiper blades and using soft towels to wash your car can save you a lot of trouble. Regular maintenance is key; keeping your glass in good condition is vital for driving safety, so don't wait until it affects your visibility to fix it.
