Default windshield nicks

ok so, earlier in the year i had 2 instances where i had to drive through clouds of the dirt/gravel mix that snowplows use to cover roads due to wind storms.

well, washed my car the other day and i didnt realize how bad it sand-blasted my front end. Y_Y

the bumper and headlights ill have to deal with atm, but the main issue is the windshield. the gravel hit so hard that i have dozens of micro-nicks across my windshield. my question is if anyone knows a product to fix such things. these are tiny nicks, not your usual sized ones. when the sun hits them though, i can barely see out my windshield, and its becoming borderline dangerous, so i was hoping to either find a fix, or just bite the bullet and get it repaired/replaced. thanks for feedback.

best bet is to get the windshield replaced. if you do it yourself with a kit you might end up scratching it more or cause blurriness. the glass scratches very easily as it is an economical car. i used a snow scraper on my windshield and i had dozens of linear scratches on it

have you contacted safelight? maybe they can fix it all for little cost to you or no cost, just a bill to your insurance. like a towing cost.

If you have glass coverage, just get it replaced
