So, I've not been myself the past this past few weeks after the sudden passing of my dog and yesterday I did something stupid without really thinking. There was some bird poo on my windscreen and instead of being patient and soaking it, I just used some kitchen paper to remove it and now have some very light surface scratches where I've done it :angry:
Just wondering if there's any hope of removing it? Seen mixed reviews of the glass scratch removal kits such as this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ADMA8GQ/.
Wouldn't mind too much but it's right in my line of vision!
Please no replies saying I'm stupid - I already know that :sad:

Oh dear! Sorry to hear you've lost your faithful friend. Don't know about glass scratch repairs but if it helps, I put a long deep one in my rear window through impatience and stupidity after dropping my cloth and re-using it. I find it helps in reminding me not to do it again :rolleyes: Not entirely helpful, but no doubt you'll get some good advice soon.

Really sad about losing your dog, very upsetting to lose a beloved pet.
You could have a go with some glass polish but be very careful as you can cause distortion and a dip in the glass which is not what you want in your vision line. I had a massive arc scratch across the windscreen of my mk6 GTI, where some grit got caught between glass and wiper blade, but I just lived with it.
