I used a kit with some sandpaper, a mild abrasive and an attachment for 
a drill to polish my BN2's windshield. IIRC, I got it from Eastwood:

https://www.eastwood.com/glass-polishing-kit-for-deep-scratches.html

The 'rule-of-thumb' is if the scratch can be felt with a fingernail it 
can't be removed, but my car had mostly mild wiper wear and the kit did 
the job well enough I can live with it.

Ira,

=20

I have a spare windscreen with wiper blade =E2=80=98rainbow=E2=80=99 =
scratches on both sides.  To remove them I have purchased some CERIUM =
OXIDE to make a paste and hand-polish them out. =20

The people at the glass company told me the process will be slow (a lot =
of elbow grease) but applying it to a soft rotary pad will speed up the =
procedure.

My cost equates to about US $15 for 4 ounces.  That amount should do the =
whole windscreen.

I used a kit with some sandpaper, a mild abrasive and an attachment for =
a drill to polish my BN2's windshield. IIRC, I got it from Eastwood:

The 'rule-of-thumb' is if the scratch can be felt with a fingernail it =
can't be removed, but my car had mostly mild wiper wear and the kit did =
the job well enough I can live with it.

Bob

There are some some places that polish windshields. But ultimately it =
may be more cost-effective to simply replace. Triplex is the brand to =
use; an OEM manufacturer that supplied them back then. The rest often =
don=E2=80=99t fit right and eventually crack from stress points, as =

Is there any proven way to remove wiper blade scratches from a =

Ira,

 =C2=A0

I have a spare windscreen with wiper blade =E2=80=98rainbow=E2=80=99 scratc=
hes on both sides.=C2=A0 To remove them I have purchased some CERIUM OXIDE =
to make a paste and hand-polish them out.=C2=A0=20

The people at the glass company told me the process will be slow (a lot of =
elbow grease) but applying it to a soft rotary pad will speed up the proced=
ure.

My cost equates to about US $15 for 4 ounces.=C2=A0 That amount should do t=
he whole windscreen.

I used a kit with some sandpaper, a mild abrasive and an attachment for a d=
rill to polish my BN2's windshield. IIRC, I got it from Eastwood:

The 'rule-of-thumb' is if the scratch can be felt with a fingernail it can'=
t be removed, but my car had mostly mild wiper wear and the kit did the job=
 well enough I can live with it.

Same with any grinding compound: The components are selected for their 
shape, hence 'cutting' ability, hardness, purpose, cost, etc. A compound 
with large particles with sharp edges will cut deeper and faster than 
one with particles of a softer and/or more rounded shape. The kit I 
bought came with a paste consisting of rhyolite and whatever semi-liquid 
was used to make it a paste; it appears aluminum oxide is also used.

A coarser compound will remove deeper scratches, but leave its own 
scratches. You can start with a coarser compound to remove larger 
scratches, then switch to a finer compound to remove smaller scratches, 
and so on; just like you might start rubbing paint--or filler--with 
320grit sandpaper, then 400, then 600, 1200, etc. Some polishing 
compounds do that 'automatically,' they start with larger particles 
which themselves break down to smaller particles and successively smooth 
the surface. McGuiars (sp?) has several compounds, all graded on a 
thermometer-like scale for their cutting (deep) or polishing (fine) 
characteristics.

I appears the lapidary (mineral-polishing) crowd has lots of discussion 
re: best compounds. Cerium oxide is mentioned a lot, rhyolite some, but 
I didn't see any mention of zinc oxide. Zinc is a soft metal and may not 
lend itself to being a good polishing compound, for glass anyway. Cost 
will (always) be an issue, rhyolite may be a better compound than cerium 
oxide but may cost more, or vice versa.

                              cost-effective to simply replace. Triplex
                              is the brand to use; an OEM manufacturer

Of course. That was a reach. A quick search didn't show ZnO favored by 
the gem-polishing crowd. It does make a good sun block.

              A coarser compound will remove deeper scratches, but leave
              its own scratches. You can start with a coarser compound
              to remove larger scratches, then switch to a finer
              compound to remove smaller scratches, and so on; just like
              you might start rubbing paint--or filler--with 320grit
              sandpaper, then 400, then 600, 1200, etc. Some polishing
              compounds do that 'automatically,' they start with larger
              particles which themselves break down to smaller particles
              and successively smooth the surface. McGuiars (sp?) has

              I appears the lapidary (mineral-polishing) crowd has lots
              of discussion re: best compounds. Cerium oxide is
              mentioned a lot, rhyolite some, but I didn't see any
              mention of zinc oxide. Zinc is a soft metal and may not
              lend itself to being a good polishing compound, for glass
              anyway. Cost will (always) be an issue, rhyolite may be a
              better compound than cerium oxide but may cost more, or
              vice versa.<br clear="none">

Apparently not a huge reach:

'ZnO is a relatively soft material with approximate hardness of 4.5 on 
the Mohs scale <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohs_scale>.'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_oxide

Generally, you want abrasives to be fairly hard; abrasives aren't listed 
as one of its many other uses.
