Default Windshield scratch

Good day. Last night stone hit windshield. Kind of a graze and windshield has a scratch. Any ideas on how to smooth it out?

Depends. If a surface scratch, there is nothing you can do. If a deep scratch, it may develop into a crack. Guess you won't really know until it starts to spread, if it does spread, a glass place should be able to repair it.

safelite repair, safelite replace......
Just wait until you get a new crack and pay your insurance deductible for a new windshield.
I've had mine replaced already....
just driving down the freeway and BAM an XT5 kicked a stone up and made a massive crack.

in my experience, safelite repair LED to a safelite replace after they messed it up. leave it if it ain't broken, and replace it WHEN it breaks
