Last time my car windshield got scratched by tree branches, so I immediately researched how to fix it. For minor scratches, you can use glass polish. First, thoroughly clean the scratched area with dish soap, then apply the polish and rub repeatedly with a soft cloth, just like giving the glass a facial scrub. For medium-depth scratches, it's best to buy a glass repair kit online, which includes special resin and a UV curing light. Fill the scratch with resin and cure it, making it almost invisible. For deep scratches, don't mess around with DIY fixes—take it to a professional shop for optical grinding. They use specialized equipment to make the surface perfectly smooth. To prevent scratches, try not to park under trees, and promptly repair small chips caused by road debris on highways. These habits can help avoid scratches.
