It didn't even remove the tiny microscopic hairline scratches most likely left by ice scrapers.
Oh well, now I'm off to find a glass polishing system.
Thanks for the recommendation though, I wish it would have worked.
Have you quoted a new windshield yet? I'm wondering what they cost and if it may be better to just forego the hassle and get a new one?
