Some years ago I was watching a video on utube from a guy who seemed to have a big following and energetic (well, almost frantic) presentation style.
He supposedly was a professional detailer and there were a lot of videos about cleaning, repairing and so on from tip to tail of the car.
One thing that I was curious about was tying to get those annoying tiny scratches or chips out of a windshield, which seems more common where there is a lot of wind and sand which pits the surface. Driving into the sun makes them all glow and hard to see. Yet a new windshield is expensive.
I saw various suggestions for taking 0000 steel wool and water to do a very lengthy rub. Having made one reflective mirror for a telescope, I know that the final grinding and polishing is done with something as non-intuitive as rouge to polish, so steel wool while odd didn't seem out of the question. Not confident enough to try that, I passed on trying it.
Then this frantic detailer said he just used a good quality paste wax on the windshield and while neither completely restorative nor long lasating, seemed to make sense that it might fill the divots just a bit and perhaps work for awhile.
Has anyone experience with putting paste wax on a windshiled, either to reduce pitting glare or to replace RainX?
