Anyone ever see their windshields develop tiny specks all over?
My 2010 Clubman S has developed a problem with the entire windshield being covered in little specks, which appear to be embedded in the lamination I'm guessing? It's absolutely everywhere on the glass, and when driving into low sun is so bad as to be really obstructive. Not so noticeable at other times. See pics, which don't show extent of problem, which is all over entire glass.

You can try to buff the glass out with bone meal paste but have you ever heard the saying '"like watching paint dry?"

Windshields don't last forever
I agree. I try to replace my windshields in the Autumn because the chips in the glass are most distracting when driving in low light conditions. Of course, the probably of getting more chips goes up in the winter, but I like to see when driving at night.

Polishing the glass
I happen to own a orbital buffer. I ordered a glass polishing kit which contained the right abrasives and polishes to really clean up pitted glass. There may be shops that do this too. Ripping out my windshield is not my idea of correction. But that’s me. Good luck.
For me, this system worked great.

Yep, rocks. Does not take long with the MINIs upright windshield.

I've had my 2013 Clubman for two and a half years and have replaced the windshield twice due to chips and cracks.
Last windshield change I asked the guy how common windshield replacement was and apparently Phoenix is one of the worst cities. There are over 1300 windshield repair/replacement shops in a metropolitan area of 4.5 million people. The highest in the country.
