Windshield Polish

https://youtu.be/1ja1Kp_GZvc?si=_cO0Xg_xzJOyA_7c

Has anyone used the technique shown in this video for polishing the windshield on their Boxster? My car has the original windshield and after over 150,000 miles of driving, it could use some help.

I own a dual action polisher, and my only monetary expense would be for the polish. My concern is that I don't want to damage my windshield.

Thanks in advance for comments and suggestions.

I can’t see that it isn’t worth a shot, particularly as you already have a DA machine.

The pads that he links to are from Griot’s Garage, FWIW.

I did not watch the vid, but I bought this product and it definately worked. Used it 2x and visability has improved a lot!

Sorry, missed it. You are looking for a product that is suitable for glass.

I'm sure it does an "OK" job....but in my case, for my 28 year old original window, I'm going to just have a new one installed.....not too expensive. IF I pay out of pocket Safelight quoted me just a few hundred dollars, The only issue would be to supply my own rubber gusset to safelight purchased from Pelican.

Seems that most Safelight shops never stock the proper original rubber gusset.
