I have a lot of scratches, blemishes, tiny chips or what not on my windshield. What would be the best way to clean/polish this?

I'm not sure if this is something that can be cleaned and washed out, or is permanently damaged.

I think it's something you just have to get used to. Bigger chips that could develop into cracks can sometimes be filled to prevent that crack... but if you've got a variety of aesthetic blemishes all across the windshield (like most older cars), then your only option is a new windshield. If you convince your insurance company there are enough to impair your driving, maybe they'll accept a claim? Doubtful, but if they do, let me know!

There is a cleaning solution called Perfect Glass It is 100 x better than windex

if your windshield has tiny speckles in it as if it was "sandblasted" then I think you need to get a new windshield. I have this problem....the fact that my car was used primarily on the highways by its previous owner created alot of small defects in the glass. So in direct sunlight I see a nice rainbow effect

Windex and any conventional cleaners will not fill in those speckles. I asked this forum how to fix the sandblasted windshield problem, and someone mentioned using a glass polish with a orbital buffer....I haven't done that yet. But you could try that.

The past couple weeks when its been warm during the day and cold at night, theres been a lot of condensation forming on my windows at night. When I take the car out at night I always wipe this off with some paper towel. But I can still see lines like water running down over the windshield. Theyre foggy and they wont go away. Theyre really visable inside the arc of the wipers. Above that the window is a total write off. It fogs over and wont clear up. Its weird cause when i wash my car, the water beads up at the top and sides of the windshield, but inside the sweep of the wipers it sheets. In short my winshield is a mess. And it drives me insane.
