Dirty/damaged/smear/greasy windscreen is my biggest pet hate.
I hear you and agree. It is not a pet hate it is normal IMO. Those who disagree with me are wrong.
Have saved a few windscreens that have had visible scrapes that you can't feel with a nail. But if jewlleres rouge can't fix the screen. It is fucked.

Its the wiper rash that you get after a few winters, vague haze that low sun catchs, sometimes get a deeper gouge on the edge of the swept area that doesn't matter so much as its at the edge and where all the dirt begins.
But yeah will try a pad + some rouge and see what I can smooth out on this screen, cheers for tip!

Have literally never considered polishing glass. When I clean properly it gets clay dragged over the glass (pulls out all the junk that makes your wipers smear), glass cleaner/fine polish I guesss is what it is?, then sometimes use the finest grade of wire wool to finish off, then rain-x it.
And if the wiper blade fuzz gets too bad for winter low lying sun just put a new screen in it. Might have been able to save a few windscreens over the years if I knew polishing them would work! Have a 125mm RA and a 150mm DA.
Dirty/damaged/smear/greasy windscreen is my biggest pet hate. Rest of your car can be a stinking pit of despair, but if you can't see out clearly = auto hate from me. Often justified as a cyclist number of SMIDSY's due to dirty/damaged/smear/greasy windscreen is insane and totally preventable.
