evan9381 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 New car i picked up (an 09), has a bunch, hundreds, of little tiny spots, almost like it go hit with specks of sand hard enough to make a tiny mark. Its only noticeable when the sun hits it, and its super annoying. Is there any way to repair this? id like to avoid replacement if necessary, although if i have to go that route, i work for a glass company and can get a discount on aftermarket glass (id rather stick with OEM) or get the OEM and labor is super cheap.

Aaron Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Hit it with clay and/or nanoskin and give the inside and out a thorough cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGhost Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Glass polish, Zaino's works pretty good, I have used it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 do i need a special tool to use those? i really dont want to fuck it up any more than what its already at. i also noticed in one section (out of view, and only seen from outside), it looks like the glass has a rainbow in it, almost like when water is evaporating, but it wouldnt go away. might this help?

brent1976 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 My wifes car got a chip in the windshield, and when safelite came to fix it they fixed all of those little nicks also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 My wifes car got a chip in the windshield, and when safelite came to fix it they fixed all of those little nicks also. i wouldnt even call them nicks. you cant see them outside of the car, only from inside when the sun is on them. and thats where i work. they had a tech at the corporate office replacing an employees windshield today over pits in the glass. maybe i'll have to call the local shop and see if they can do anything for those. at least then if it gets fucked up more, its on them. :dumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Pilot Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I used a kit from Griot's that uses Cerum Oxide to polish the glass with mixed results. The kit uses a machine polisher or drill. My GC had very bad water spots and vertical scratches on the side windows. It worked very well for the water spots and about half of the scratches. It says it will remove pitting but I didn't try it on the windshield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 If you find something that works, be sure to post back. I have the same problem you describe in the Supra. It's especially noticable after a good wash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaewsky1 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I agree with you posting the results. The Legacy I bought has a horribly pitted windshield. Very hard to see out of when the sun is shining. Maybe I'll try the Zaino and if I beat you to it, I'll post my results. Anyplace to buy Zaino Glass Polish locally?

Avenger1647545502 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I work for a glass place, and we use Zaino for polishing. Haven't found anything that works better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
