| Subject: | windscreen abrasion ? |
I have about 1500 hours on my 10; I have noticed what looks like points of
light within the windscreen when the sun strikes the aircraft at a
particular angle. Intuitively I believe that debri from the prop during
takeoff/landing and perhaps in flight cause slight imperfections in the
surface of the windscreen. Some have suggested polishing the areas of the
windscreen using micro mesh; others have suggested the techniques and
products used by car detailers. The points of light are not noticeable
under most circumstances except low sun angles. Do others have the problem
or solution?

I recommend not using any product not made for our glass.
I=99ve used Novus product for 20 years. #1 for every day cleaning, #2
for light scratches and overspray, #3 for deeper scratches. The one time I
have a very deep scratch (self inflicted) I used 800, then 1200 then 1500 g
rit paper to wet sand then Novus #2 to remove the paper scratches.
For you I suggest a good cleaning with Novus #2 followed by a polish with #1
and see where you are.

ort of 13 years. Always hangared and covered when on the ramp overnight.

Same as David with over 1500 hours. I'd say on 95% of flights, I can't
even see
them. On 98% of flight (guessing), I don't even notice them. But if
you get
a sunny day and just the right angle on them, they can really light up.
But, they've been there as far back as the first year I flew, and
haven't changed
at all. I doubt they're from debris. I'm guessing they're from cleaning
chemicals, or tape, or something from during my construction.

i had same problem on my 1981 C-182RG and was recommended to use 3M
Clearfix Aviation WIndow Restoration System (ACS sells the 2-step process
for ~$288). It helped a little but i eventually replaced the windscreen as
it was pretty glazed. If it wasn't so bad, i think this would have done the
trick.

I first noticed mine after I had the airplane repainted about six years ago.
Assume it was something that contaminated the glass during the repaint. Lik
e Tim, I rarely see it.

I had a few scratches from construction and I sanded them out with 2,000 gri
t and polished with 210 Plus and a 3 inch pad I got at a paint store. I used
my Dewakt drill on low speed to polish.

I think we=99re talking about =9Ccrazing=9D. There
=99s a good Wikipedia article on
it. I replaced my 13 YO, 2000 hr windscreen for it. I think it=99s i
n the
nature of almost all aircraft windows eventually.
