How can you remove wiper scratches from a car's glass?

I waited too long to replace my wiper blades, and now I can see that they've dug into my car windshield and have left scratches. Is there a way to remove these wiper scratches from my car's glass?

Wiper scratches are definitely frustrating, but you can remove them easily! Here’s what to do:
  • Learn how deep the scratch is—if it’s too deep, you might have to replace the windshield
  • Buy a glass repair kit
  • Dispense the filling agent or compound into the crack
  • Let the affected area dry in the sun, and you should be all set!
Keep in mind that if you have to replace the entire windshield, it may be covered under your
car insurance
policy, so don’t forget to check!
If it’s not covered, you may want to add
