What does polishing a car windshield do?

Windshield polishing is a process that helps restore its transparency and improve visibility. Over time, the glass becomes covered with scratches, scuffs and haze, which reduces driving safety. This article will tell you what benefits polishing provides and when it is necessary. To make your car more attractive and stylish, we recommend using tuning accessories, a wide range of which can be found in our product catalog.

The windshield is constantly exposed to dust, sand and wipers, which leads to defects:

• Scratches : Minor damage from sand or brushes impairs visibility.
• Abrasions : Wiper marks create glare, especially at night.
• Haze : UV rays and dirt make glass less transparent.
