Having not used the car for a couple of weeks, the windscreen was a little dirty. On getting in, I operated the screen wash/wiper to clean.
To my horror, after this I noticed a curved scratch about 4 inches long on the screen. Its on the driver's side and right in my line of vision. It is definitely a scratch - very thin, very shallow but very noticeable. There must have been a hard piece of dirt/stone stuck in the wiper blade.
Anyway, what's done is done, so the question is - how do I remedy it?
Would Autoglass fix it (with one of their smart repairs) under my insurance, or do they only do flying stone chips? They certainly don't do non-insurance jobs, as I found out when I phoned them about something else last year.
Wiper scratch
You will need a professional glass polisher with the correct paste and pad and thermometer. I know because I have had the same removed from my Cayman. Lots of buffing and checking temperature to ensure laminate in glass does not distort - but it will remove a light scratch. Good luck!
