Little chips in glass
So, I have noticed that on my windshield there is bunch of tiny rock chips all over. I thought the windshield was just dirty or something (like tree sap) so I cleaned it good, then did a clay bar. After further inspection I noticed they are IN the glass. You cant really notice them but if the sun is at an angle they a much easier to see....
So what I'm wondering is, does anyone make a like filler for baby chips like that? Or would a sealant work?

Safelite has a filler epoxy that they use to fill it. U can still see it, but itll keep it from cracking. Let me know if you want to get it repaired. I get a SUPER BIG discount on safelite, and id only have to call it in for you. But itll save you roughly 75%.
I had a chip the size of a nickel on my dodge windshield, Safelite online said $90 or so to fix it, my work discount i paid $25 plus tip. and theyll come right to your job parking lot and fix it! Safelite FTW!

Yeah mines kinda getting the same way its all the dirt and rocks thrown at your windshield happens just a car getting older but ive seen people on tv sand them with sand paper like started with 800 or 1000 grit and worked up to 2500 grit but you might be alot better off just getting a new windshield for 200 bucks or whatever it costs. Sucks though when you see your car getting abused my paint looks 1000 years old stupid mitsu paint Found this http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=533942 i agree just replace it you will need alot of sand paper and it will be hard to get it uniform esp since its curved sanding it.
