How do I get scratches off my car windshield?
My windshield has light scratches from a broken windshield wiper that I’ve since replaced. How do I get the scratches off my car windshield?

Replacing your windshield wiper was a great first step for taking care of the damage. Luckily, you can get rid of small scratches on your windshield with toothpaste or scratch-remover.
To get rid of scratches with non-gel toothpaste:
- Apply the paste to a soft cloth.
- Rubbing it over the scratches for about 45 seconds.
- Wiping the area clean.
If you’d rather use an acrylic scratch remover:
- Apply the product to a soft cloth.
- Rub it over the scratch for about 60 seconds.
- Let it sit for half an hour.
- Wipe it clean with a fresh cloth.
Congratulations! If you followed either set of instructions, your

should be scratch-free.While you’re letting the scratch remover sit, take a minute to save on car insurance with
