My windshield seems to have developed "pits" its like the outside is very dirty and stays that way even when cleaned multiple times. Does anyone have a good remedy for this?

Pitted glass has to be replaced. There is nothing that will fix it otherwise.

There is nothing that can be done for the pitting, it must be replaced.

If you are trying to get it cleaner, try scrubbing it with a paste of Bon-Ami, it is a kitchen sink scouring powder. USE NO OTHER BRAND! Rub and rub, then do it some more. Rinse well or it will leave an icky white film on the car.

Is Bon-Ami similar to Comet?

Then replace the windshield.

It is similar, but not the same. Comet will scratch it, then you really will get to replace the glass. Bon-Ami is the finest in particulate size of scouring powder. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER BRAND! You likely will not like the results if you do.

should i use just a plain dampend towel when applying it, just like polishing?

If the glass is visibly pitted / feels rough then trying to polish it out is an exercise in futility; getting it clear and smooth again would require you to grind the surface down a few thousandths of an inch while keeping the surface optically correct. Not possible by hand - extremely difficult with the right machine.

Replacement glass is available at any auto glass shop - shop around to find the best price. New glass installed should be well under $200

Im a poor college student If I could replace it I would but so far my lis is.

1.Get windshield visible
2.New tires ( no tread at all on mine)
3.Drivers side glass (homeless guy punched it out)
4.Ignition thing ( car dies at stoplights)

I hate being me. But love my fiero for what it is.

i thought a rock got kicked up by a truck while you were going down the road. *hint**nudge* you better notify you insurance company about that so they can replace the winshield.

A lot of people don't like RainX, but if you put the stuff on heavy enough and polish it as the directions say, it not only sheds water but seems to fill in those fine sandbalst marks that seem to infect all older windsheilds. Of course it won't get rid them all but any help is good help. By the way the reason some people don't like it is itis supposed to eat up wiper blades, but I haven't noticed it before. Hope this helps.
