Scratched windshield repair

Scratches can appear on a windshield, just like with any other type of glass. Animals could have walked across your windshield; a rock could have slid across it; or branches from a nearby tree could have rubbed against it. Scratches may appear to be minor flaws until you start driving and realize they’re obstructing your view, but fortunately, many glass scratches can be repaired. Here is some information about scratched windshield repair that you should be aware of.

Why not repair it yourself?

There are DIY kits available on the market for repairing windshield scratches. However, it is recommended that you leave this type of repair to a professional. If you do not know how to properly remove a windshield scratch, you could end up causing more damage. If you are not properly trained, attempting to polish or buff the glass may cause additional scratches and damage.

How can a windshield repair service repair scratched glass?

Repairing your scratched windshield can be a hassle, but luckily, you are in the right place. When it comes to getting reliable windshield repair service, PDX Auto Glass LLC has just the right team to get you the professional help you need. PDX Auto Glass LLC will first determine the depth of the scratch. If you can run your finger over the scratch and it does not stop or get stuck, it means that the scratch is superficial and can be polished or buffed out. If your fingers become trapped, the scratch is too deep to be buffed out. In this case, it must be filled in the same manner as a rock chip or dent.
