I used a sponge on the windshield I wasn't supposed to and now I have scratches/swirls all over my windshield. What polish or product may I use to get these scratches out?

Did that sponge have sand or grid on it? Try a glass polish to remove the scratches/swirls.

wow, scratches on windshield?! man, what did you use, steelwool?

try glass polish, you can get it from auto store.

Regular dish washing sponge. I used the rough side though. I'm guessing the dirt that i was trying to take off scratched the rest of the windshield.

I put a few scratches on my windshield with a squeegee last year. Lexus just happens to have soft glass. I haven't tried a glass polish yet.

i was telling my wife about this yesterday and she immediately said one thing

"make sure they don't use that sponge or whatever on the body of the car"

You have scratched Lexus's infamous "rain-repellent" filmed windshield!!!

You are pretty much SOL on trying to remove the scratch, unless Lexus dealer has something that can repair it.

Best of luck!!!

I took my car to a car wash a week ago and there was some adhesive left on the windshield. When I took it home I tried to remove the crap with a terry cloth towel and some pressure and now I have freakn scratches all over my windshield as well. I dont care what anyone says this is BS. I have owned 6 cars in my life and have never seen anything like this. I didnt do anything special to it. I am going to complain like a SOB when I take it in and demand that they change the windshield. They should not scratch that easily. They should be more durable. I had the car 6 months and the windshield is already scratched. Soft glass my ***, they need to fix this

there is a quixx glass scratch repair kit. I just got one at walmart today. The stuff is made in germany. looks pretty promising. I am still going to complain when I take it in.

All Lexus windshields are like that. I got scratches on my last Lexus from cleaning off bird crap.
