I've been driving an older car, and windshield scratches are common. For minor scratches, I apply regular toothpaste to a soft cloth and gently rub the scratched area for about 10 minutes, then wipe it clean with a damp cloth—this can significantly improve the appearance. For deeper scratches, there are automotive glass repair kits available at supermarkets for just a few dozen yuan. Before starting, make sure to clean the glass and ensure it's dry; be patient during the process to avoid causing further damage. I usually park away from branches and hard objects and use a soft rubber sleeve to clean the car glass to prevent new scratches. If the scratches are too severe and affect visibility, don’t risk fixing them yourself—it’s safer to seek help from a repair shop. Remember to perform regular maintenance checks; good glass condition makes driving much more comfortable.
