You are ready to go on a road trip when you notice that your windshield has a scratch on it. It can be quite annoying since it will obstruct your vision as you are driving, and can also turn into a full-blown laceration with time. The best thing to do is to fix it as soon as possible. Below are some of the ways to do a scratched glass repair.

 

• Determine The Type Of Scratch.

 

One of the first things to do is to run your finger through the scratch, to determine whether it is a surface or deep scratch. The former will feel smooth to the skin while the latter will hold your nail, and will need a windshield replacement to sort it out. A surface scratch will be easy to fix.

 

• Get A Glass Repair Kit.

 

The next step is to go to an auto repair shop and get yourself a repair kit. It will have a rubbing compound that you will use to remove the scratch.

 

• Apply The Rubbing Compound.

 

Once you have the repair kit, the next thing is to wash the windshield with soap and water to ensure that it is clean before moving forward. Rinse it thoroughly with clean water and dry it well. Afterward, rub the compound into the scratch. The compound will be easy to apply hence no need to worry. Once this is done, spray it with some water and use a piece of cloth to rub it. Ensure that you do not use too much pressure while doing it.

 

• Let The Compound Dry.

 

Give the compound around thirty minutes for it to dry before touching it. Once it is dry, you can then wash the window and dry it.

 

With the points above, one will be able to do a scratched glass repair with no problem. If the scratch gets bigger, then that will mean that the windshield needs a replacement.
