Hi Fellow GX'ers!
I had several bird droppings on my windshield that would not come off with wiper fluid, so I used some hot water, Dawn, and a kitchen sponge to remove the bird crap. BUT, afterwards, I quickly noticed that there are now fine scratch lines (swirls) in the windshield where I cleaned the bird crap. One of the places is right in front of the driver's sight lines. The scratch lines are very obvious when the sun hits the windshield and when oncoming car headlights hit the windshield at night. I'm super frustrated with myself for scratching the windshield, but obviously didn't think I would scratch the windshield so easily with a kitchen sponge!
I'm weighing my options to try to fix the windshield, but wonder if there is some kind of film from the factory on the windshield that scratches easily?
Have others found the windshield to be poor quality and very easy to scratch?
Has anyone else tried to fix fine line scratches with a repair kit? If so, what product did you use and did it help?
Any advice or ideas on how to resolve would be appreciated!
