ok so i always hand clean my car
and when i drove in the sun i noticed scratches (vercial and horizontal)
How can i prevent this in the future?
and can i get them out?
btw, i used a water beam last time and not a sponge.
i dried it with a soft thin towel
moved this thread to the detailing section as you will get more help here
Can you feel them with your finger nail?

Are they scratches as opposed to smears / hazing?

Try a light polish to see if it makes a difference.
might help others

i don't think i could feel them ther realy light and only visible when the sun shines on them.
and i think they are from cleaning but i dont know how, i have been very carefull.
i'm not going to dry the windows next time, i don't want more scratches.
and you mean something like rusty has posted?
No I mean my first test is a light hand polish; assume you have some polish?

i do have a kind of wax for the paint of the car, not sure if it's the same.
Wax protects, Polish has a slight abrasive in... pop to halfords & grab some autoglym resin polish or similar

I don't know that store but i think i know a place where they will have polish.
I might give carglass a call

i checked the scratches again and i am able to feel them with my nails.
and i'll probably try some thing next week, when i have the early shift at work
Meguiars scratch x is a good product to apply by hand.
Now i,ve never personally tried this so cant be held accountable if it goes wrong but I was told that brasso can remove light scratches from glass
