I'm thinking of wet sanding with 800 grit then progressively finer up to 1500 then polishing. Is this an accepted technique? Anyone have any tips or hints?

One time I had a special half round piece of glass made for a special job. I had made the frame myself by laminating thin plywood to that shape. They hadn't cut the glass exactly right and I had a little trouble fitting it to my frame. So I though to sand the edges a little.
Regrettably I must have touched more than just the edge because afterwards there were some scratches visible. I used everything including special glass polishes and a power buffer and never got them out.

Micro-Surface Finishing Products Inc. You might go to IceRocket.searchengine and do a search. Bet you will find them. Don't know how much help you might find on their web site. I have an article on doing what you want to do, but I don't know where it is. Myself I would use an old piece of glass to experiment before I touched my truck. Good luck.

In the end, the windshield was "improved", but the scratches were still visable. They said in the article that they could have gone further, but at the risk of creating a visual distortion in the glass. | | |
