Yes but you do need a machine poiisher also some pads compound have a look on -bay I think if you look under windscreens marks damage you should be ok.

On my R they are glass. It's a special compound you use for glass is not paint polish

I have a feeling they won't tell you much this isn't something they do, or at least they never

I must get mine done but will get the stuff from the factors.
Polish wont take out any indentations in the glass though which it will have.
