My car has some very faint scratches in the windshield from worn out wiperblades (previous owner).

They are very shallow, you can only see them in the right light.

Anyways I got some Z12 figureing it could take them out since it claims to be able to remove fine to medium scratches. Well the Z12 hasnt done a thing, I've applied it at least 3 times on the same small spot using varying methods.

First, I just applied it, let it haze, then removed it as the bottle says. No change (I didnt think it was going to work this way so I wasnt suprised).

Next I applied a small amount and rubbed it as hard as I could by hand with a cotton cloth. Again, no change.

Finally I busted out the orbital buffer and I gave it hell for ~5min. Guess what? No change

Right now im a bit disappointed, seeing as the rest of the Zaino line works well (for the most part) I was expecting better. Any more idea's before I take it to a glass shop or something?

Orbital will not work with Z-12, you need a high speed rotary buffer and wool pad to really work out the nasty scratches, glass is very, very hard so the Z-12 needs help.

I bought a 99 pickup to drive and the windshield was terrible, really bad in the rain. I used the Z-12 on it and made a huge difference. I need to get a buffer and foam pad and do it again after winter is over.

Thanks guys. Since I dont have a highspeed buffer I guess it would be better to take it to a professional.
