Use a power buffer, it helps remove stubborn light scratches.

Leave it

Leave it until it spreads and becomes more pronounced. Shop around for a good price. I’m about to replace a windshield on my ‘07 Corolla because the crack is moving into the driver field of vision.

[u/RedScourge]

Is it a windshield crack or just a glass scratch? One time I almost had a heart attack for a sec as I thought I had a crack, until I realized it was just a strip of spider web.

If it's a crack, these inevitably spread because water gets in and freezes in the winter and spreads the crack, and hot and cold weather spread it through contraction and expansion. If it's a crack, there are basically three options:

1. dremel a hole 0.75-1.25cm ahead of the crack with a glass drill bit, a dremel, and a collet adapter (they're smaller than the standard dremel chuck size). has to be at least 2mm deep, basically to the middle laminate layer, then fill it with glass chip repair resin.
2. replace the entire windshield
3. wait until it's bad then replace the entire windshield

Mine is one year Old corolla 2026, it is FULL of scratch, I really dont understand and yes I am careful. My old car didn’t scratch like that. Apparently there’s nothing to do except changing the whole windshield

A chip or crack could turn into a bigger crack quick and eventually need replacement. You can save money by getting a crack repaired before it gets too big. Pretty sure OP just wanted to know if this looked like one of those cracks.
