Common causes for scratches on vehicle windshields can be attributed to airborne rocks and other debris slamming into the glass at high speeds. The repair for scratches and nicks in a windshield is fairly simple, and you only need a few materials. Gather them then try to work outside on a sunny day. This will help speed the drying time for the repair.

Combine water and a mild dish soap in a bucket. Pour in a few drops of denatured alcohol and stir with your hands. Put on your goggles.
2Soak a cloth in the solution, then wipe down the entire windshield.
3Soak another cloth in clean water then wipe down the windshield. Dry the windshield with a dry cloth.
4Remove glass shards from the cracks. Use the corner of the razor blade to carefully dig out the loose pieces.
5Fill the syringe with resin then squirt a few drops out to release air bubbles. Check the amount of resin that comes out as you press it.
6Fill the cracks. Put the syringe tip in the crack, push down on the syringe end to release the resin. Allow it to overfill the entire crack. Let it dry for a few hours in the sun.
7Remove the resin that has hardened above the surface by turning the razor blade on its side and scraping evenly across the surface.
