Windscreen wiper scratches, can you remove them?

[dave_s13]

One of my cars has very superficial scratching across both swept areas of the screen that are likely due to the wipers never being cleaned. It's fine through the day but at night you get a very distracting lens flare type effect that I find really effects visibility.

I've got an orbital polisher and I was going to attack it with that but realise I could make it worse. I'd be grateful if anyone has any experience of getting rid of these scratches, what did you use and how?

Changes the wipers for quality bosch ones btw.

Lol... Hammer solution seems to be favourite then. :-)

I was wary of trying to polish out as I can see how easily you could end up making it worse. There is already a stone chip in the middle of the screen which could be persuaded so get bigger I suppose.......

I've always found the best way to get rid of them is check the level of cover on my policy, then just wait for it to get damaged by a flying stone or hammer.

£50 excess.... It's very, very tempting to go tailgate some fast moving rubble skips.
