Hi, just need inputs for a good place to go get my windshield pits n swirls corrected and polished. The swirls can be caught with fingernails and cannot be removed with arm power. Thanks to advise.

Cheaper, faster, better.

 

Best is to keep the factory sealant. 

So better not to replace windscreen unnecessarily.

If there is no coating on the glass, when in heavy downpour the water will stick to the windscreen. Blocking out vision.

For my case I tried a few types of coating, mostly will cause the wipers to jutter. I have to dilute them by wiping and spreading with a wet cloth. That usually solve the juttering issue with windscreen coating.

anyone tried using hot steam to clean their car windows/windshield ?

 

will it be able to remove the deposits that causes the water spots ?
