A QUESTION THAT IS COMPLETELY UNRELATED TO ANYTHING "LAWNMOWER"

Just get a new windshield. It will be cheaper in the long run.

I am posting this question "here" because I know there are a "lot" of knowledgeable people on this board.

My truck has a windshield that has been badly sand blasted from being in the desert in its early years. Driving into the sun or oncoming headlights is very dangerous. Anyone know of a way to buff or remove the surface of automotive glass to remove this? When I first got this truck, I thought it was spray paint overspray. If this question is considered inappropriate, feel free to remove.

I owned a windshield repair shop for three years. I had many people that came in asking that very question. Truth is there is no fix for it. Replace it. You can repair stone damage and even long cracks but grinding that sort of stuff off is not going to happen.

You can fix acrylic headlights by grinding them off. I have repaired many sets of those. To make the repair on them last any length of time they need to be ground as smooth as 5000 grit sandpaper or finer. Glass on the other hand will have distortion when sanded.
