I've had good luck with products like Meguiar's Cleaner Wax Liquid and Meguiar's Scratch X 2.0 on paint & windshields.

Default Scratch X?

I have used it for paint before, but windshield? Have you used it on one?

May as well use a wire brush on it, same results as some suggestions you will get.
I would gently apply some goof off, wipe and clean gently.
Maybe even the WD40.
If this fails, check out LRS, great folks, forum sponsor, go Elite Recurve...

the windshield is coated with some sort of clear finish, if you try and buff it out it will look like **** (well, you might be able to buff the whole windshield to get all of it off) ..So that said, if you can't get the scratches off with soap and water you are pretty much out of luck...but on the bright side they are pretty cheap...

Default crap it's scrap

I can feel the edge with my fingernail. The tape pulled off the film on the windshield. Dealer said $160 to replace. Think it's e-bay time.

Check out the LRS Re-Curve PolyCarbonate. Great shield for less $$ and very fast shipping.

If it was me I'd trash the one on there and buy a new one. LRS is a good shield.
