If you try to buff out the scratches it screws up the coating and makes it worse. You'll just have to live with it.

If you try to buff out the scratches it screws up the coating and makes it worse. First, thanks for pointing that out. Never heard of that. So, the only reason I can think of for doing it is to keep people from fixing the scratches so they have to buy a new shield. That would explain to me why Yami lets you buy new Silverado plastic without having to buy the chrome too. Should have known they weren't just thinking of the customer.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #8872 ricker (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 46 Re:windshield scratches 5 Years, 8 Months ago   Hey Roland You can use 'Pledge' furniture polish and cleaner, lemon or orange scent, doesn't matter. I have used it exclusively on my '05 and have no scratching (25,300 miles). I just spray a generous amount onto an old t-shirt, wipe away the bugs and buff it up with another clean t-shirt. Hope this helps.

This will ensure no swirls in the plastic. I use pledge in between but always wax my windshields with whatever wax I'm using on the bike. Liquid Glass is great. The new Nanowax is also great. Existing scratches will probably continue to exist, I'm afraid.......
