Windshield - 3M Headlight Cover Restorer

[just call me Mr. Hibbs]

Recently someone mentioned on a post that the 3M product worked well on the windscreen, mine is in pretty good shape but I do have a fairly deep scratch and a few marks from stone strikes, can someone confirm that I can use this product with confidence or am I best to leave well enough alone.

Thanks

I've only used it on my wife's VW Jetta headlights, but I was impressed and pleased!

Here was a recent post:

This was the 3M product too:

The following is a quote from Cee Baileys:

Most OEM windshields are polycarbonate, or "Lexan," windows, and there is no effective way to remove scratches. Polycarbonate is so soft that any attempt to remove material by abrasion will do more harm than good. There are hard coated varieties of polycarbonate that are less prone to scratches, but trying to repair a scratch on these applications will only remove the hard coating, and render the windshield unserviceable. To tell if your shield is made of Polycarbonate or Lexan, look for a stamp on the windshield that indicates "PC", GE, for General Electric Lexan, or the words LEXAN or POLYCARBONATE.

I haven't tried any of the headlight kits personally but have been warned that they will do more damage than good.

Some of the windshield places have products made for windshields. I would give one of those a try.

I tried it, rode it for a while then bought a new windshield.
It worked fair, but was not as clear as I expected.
