Solutions for scratches on the car's front windshield film: Use glass polishing paste to grind and polish for repair. For more severe scratches, it is generally necessary to go to an auto repair shop to replace the new glass film. If the scratches are very serious, it is essential to visit an auto repair shop for repair. When the scratches are too deep, it may be necessary to replace the car's front windshield, which requires professional personnel to perform the replacement and repair. Professional front windshield films can block a large amount of heat from entering through the front windshield, reducing the burning sensation from the scorching sun and effectively lowering the temperature inside the car. Choosing high-quality front windshield films can further reduce glaring glare during driving, providing drivers with a better field of vision. More importantly, if the car is equipped with a front windshield film, in the event of an accident while driving, the professional film can keep shattered glass fragments in place, thereby preventing personal injuries to passengers caused by flying glass shards.
If you notice small scratches on the film, don't panic. First, use a soft cloth dipped in water or a specialized film cleaner to wipe the area and see if surface stains can be removed. If that doesn't work, you can gently polish the scratch with an automotive film repair paste, similar to a polishing motion, but keep your hand steady and avoid excessive force to prevent further damage. After driving an old car for ten years, I've encountered many such situations. Scratches on the film usually come from hard brushes or sand during car washing, so I recommend using a soft towel for cleaning in the future. If all else fails, take it to a professional detailing shop—they can fix it with specialized tools at a low cost, usually just a few dozen yuan. If the scratch is deep enough to obstruct vision or the film is torn, you'll have to replace it with a new one. Choose a high-transparency safety film and avoid overly dark tints to prevent poor visibility at night. Regular maintenance is key—park away from windy areas to reduce friction, and address minor scratches early to avoid bigger issues later on.
