Do you have a polisher? Either Dual Action or a Rotary? If not you can still you use this to polish by hand, but if you had a polisher it would be far less effort.

Simple answer is you really wont make much difference to a windscreen even using cerium oxide & a electric polisher. When I worked for a window company we used this stuff to polish out the odd scratch, it took quite an effort. Windscreens are very different, trust me I tried for ages on my diesel hack. The only thing I managed to do was make a mess all over the paint work from the splatters from the oxide.
I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

I'm keeping an eye on this thread to see if I hear of any good results. I've watched the final 2 manufacturing methods years ago and its very precise work. I'm sure some restore jobs will make a big difference but I wouldn't expect perfection. As avtokrator says avoid heat, they use it in the final grind and polish stages and if the standard of finish isn't up to scratch (pardon the pun) they will always bin it rather than retry.
