On the other half's s70r it looks like some one has used grit sand wiper blades as the entire stroke of them is full of light scratches personally ide like to keep the original screen so Can any one recommend a decent cutting compound for the entire windscreen? I've seen the kits on ebay but they are only tiny cutting pads and would take forever. Or is it a case of just get a new screen fitted.
Have you got a DA machine?
Hello yes I've got a machine polisher I did give it a going over with g3 which has improved it slightly
I will find it in the morning and post up but its something that was recommended on here and it is bloody great. Used it on the Mrs 98 V70 and will be doing my 14 V70 this weekend.
the stuff you want is Jewellers rouge mate

I've used this stuff with good results CarPro CeriGlass polish kit.
This is the stuff I was talking about http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/engine-and-exterior/glass-cleaners-sealants/carpro-ceri-glass-kit/prod_988.html Mike beat me to it
Great info, my C70's windscreen looks like it's been sand blasted, owing to its age, but has no chips or cracks , so, that's probably my best bet.

Have to try this one.
Cerium oxide .. If you can get your hands on some, cuts and repolishes glass .
I could do with this for the new car. Quite a few very superficial looking scratches. I have read warnings about 'lensing' the glass. Does anyone have experience of this, or how to avoid it in amateur hands? Because of this I was planning on finding a professional to do it.
For the sake of balance I'll add that I tried the same stuff Mike mentioned above using my DA and a glass cutting pad, and to be honest I noticed little if any improvement, and that was with several hours work on just part of the screen (I never bothered finishing the screen as it seemed futile). It seems to work for some so I'd guess that the model of car must be a factor (although I would have thought the "toughness" of the screen should be fairly much a constant regardless of car, unlike the paint), as well as how bad/deep the scratches are. I even checked a Youtube tutorial half way through to make sure I wasn't doing it wrong - fella was using the exact same product and you could see the improvement on his screen.
I'll have to try this on mine
