Depending on the extent or depth nothing might do but a new windscreen. However, I ran my Porter Cable over mine with my current favorite polish product:

BLACKFIRE Scratch Resistant Clear Finishing Polish, final polish, clear coat polish, car polish

As long as you are careful with pressure and the seams where the water barrier begins it wont hurt a thing. IMO, if anything is going to work it will be the PC, you simply cannot duplicate its abilites by hand.

John - Mine is the same way. I'm guessing the previous owner did some serious tail gating or the lowness and shape of our cars just attracts lots of sand blasting. Mine is not that noticeable until driving into the sun, then it is awful. I keep wondering when a big rock will hit it and take out so I can get a new one.

I've read several threads on the issue and most conclude it can't be made much better. I used my Griots random orbital with their glass cleaner and it helped just a tiny bit. I haven't done a full 4 step process of compounds and polishes yet. I didn't want to experiment like that until I was ready to replace it if I mess up. I know the process works well on paint but I don't know about glass.

BTW welcome to the forum. Good to have you. Post some pics sometime. Oh and if you make any progress on the window let us know.
