Have a few minor but annoying windscreen scratches, not deep and not always visible, but enough so to be an irritation. Tried at Repco to see if they had something to deal with this, they didnt. Does anyone know if Supercheap or Partsmaster have anything, r other suggestions. Thought of going to Novus but they dont have a branch handy that does this

I asked Novus about this (in Chch) and they have a mobile guy that does it, he said $140-160 +GST and I decided I could live with the scratches. Would cost me the same or more to buy a cheap machine polisher + pads and product so may still get him to do it in future.

Thanks, I thought it might be something like that, more than I really want to spend on a screen that has a fair bit of wear and tear. What product would I use if I were to go the polisher and pads route?

I worked for smith and smith and polished lots of windscreens with mixed results. If i could feel the scratch with my finger nail it wouldn't come out. That was using a polishing wheel and cerium oxide and water for a long time. I also worked for novus and didn't do any polishing there but do remember them having a 3 step series of polishing creams they use. As they market this service it probably is successful and they did sell the products so would post it no doubt. To me it would have to be a very rare windscreen to spend the time on. All the best.

Rainx do a windscreen repair kit which Repco sells. It is more for cracks and chips but I can't see why it wouldn't work on scratches.

Thanks for that, the Repco I went to didnt seem to know about that. However I tried something that has worked reasonably well - glass cooktop cleaner! Had some at home thought I'd give it a shot. The scratch hasnt completely gone, but it is definitely reduced, needed a fair bit of elbow grease but I expected to do that anyway whatever I used
