Anyone have a suggestion on how to make clear very small windshield ding. I'm not talking about a hole or crack.

These things are just very small spots and do not go very far into the glass. You can only tell they are dings when you run your finger nail over them. They look like large dust particles.

They are more annoying then anything else.

IMHO--If they have penetrated the surface of the glass I think a glass shop is your best bet. If it's something on the glass there are products you can use with a DA to buff the windshield and clean and polish it up.

nothing is really effective. glass is soft and pits easy. some auto detailing out fits sell glass stuff you use with a buffer but most reviews are not great. I read one thing where they said to use clear nail polish but that did not work for me.

I’ve never been able to get a glass shop to polish out even the smallest of imperfections. All they want to do is install new. Liability concerns probably.

There are a few videos on the web I’ve seen showing how to DIY.

I think polishing out a divot even a few thousandths deep will be hard going.

In the past, "small" ding not a crack... I've used clear nail polish and 000 ss pad to clean after its dried( in a day).
