London company to fix window scratches?

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
Hello all

My windscreen has a few light scratches. Some dirt/grit on the wiper blade caused it. Something kicked up on a motorway that got lodged at the blade, that I couldn't remove immediatey as I was on a motorway.

The scratch is right in my line of sight and quite irritating. It's not deep at all, I can barely feel it with my finger.

Anyone know of place I can take it to in London (or generally west/south west of London) to have fixed? Maybe polished out?

Thanks
 
Might be hard to polish out as it's glass.
Try a windscreen repair kit? I've used it for similar in the past:
Clean windscreen area
Apply small amount of the fluid and then use the plastic sheets to spread it out thinly and leave them on to stick to it and cover the area
Scratch off any excess with the blade - if you haven't done this part before don't be scared

My daughter's car has picked up some scratches from the wipers. I was going to use Carpro Ceriglass and a DA polisher but I was concerned this may leave some micro scratches from the Cerium Oxide.

I then saw two national companies which offer glass polishing (www.superglassuk.com and Home | Specialist Glass Repair). Reviews I found on Google looked good, so I will probably use one of those. Hopefully, using an expert will avoid a lens effect and also they will have the range of cutting pastes and polishing to leave a factory finish.
 
I had a big long scratch on inside of windscreen from factory. Tesla first suggested that I try and polish it out, before they tried and ultimately replaced the windscreen.

It was a very deep scratch in places, and polishing made no difference to those, but I recon it did a bit in the less deep areas.

I think I used Autoglym glass polish.

Its probably worth an initial try. Just quite a bit of elbow grease needed.
