So my Jetta has 260k mile with the OEM windshield and by now it has a ton of small chips… and when the sun hits it wrong I cant see anything… Can I buff or sand or do somthing to help… or should I just have it replaced? ---

no, the damage is in the glass at that point so you can’t do anything about it. clay removes things stuck in the surface, you would need something to fill the pitting - which will never happen. get glass coverage then put a brick through it. ---

I just had a new windshield installed in my car for 185 bucks. Safelite. If it pisses you off that much then do that, otherwise just claim it on your glass insurance. ---

I had my windshield replaced today. No cost to me. No deductable and no insurance increase (comprehensive claim). The guy came to me and everything. It doesn’t need to be broken either. The windshield guys don’t care, they get $$ form your insurance company, broken or not. ---

You _can_ get glass polished professionally, lots of the classic car guys who can’t get new glass do this.
