Windshield sparklies

Combing through the threads in this forum, I saw several recommendations for Stoner's Invisible Glass. I gave it a try and really did make quite the difference over your standard Windex. I was amazed how much clearer it made the windshield.

So, I'm happily driving down the road, all pleased with myself about this great discovery. I turn the car toward the sun and the windshield lights up like a moonless night sky in the middle of the south Pacific

I guess I got it so clean that I am now able to see all the micro-chips on the windshield that somehow had been concealed.

Would a glass sealer help to conceal these sparklies? Any product suggestions?

Thanks.

I found that if you clay bar the windshield and use a good auto glass cleaner, it gives the best all-around results. There's nothing you can do via any products that make a pitted windshield better.

Jayess,

I'll give that a try over the weekend and report back.

Thanks.

The clay bar treatment did help the windshield out. Sparklies are still there, but less noticeable.

Now if I could just figure out a way to keep bug splat off...
