I am ready to fit front and rear windscreens - originals have a lot of dings scratches etc.

 

Is there a way that this can be cleaned up or is it better to purchase new ones

 

Appreciate any comments or guidance on this

New screen is the best option.

Hi Dave. I had my original rear qtr windows in the hatch restored by someone that I considered to be quite experienced but you could see the swirl marks where he had to grind out scratches. Ended up going with new. Have a chat with Glass for Classics about a replacement. They are honest and will tell you if there are any potential issues with the new glass. Cheers Ron

Thanks for the feedback - glass for classics seem to be the way to go 

Thinking I will go for new windscreens
