Brand new car, 220 miles on it, got it yesterday. At some point before I got it, somehow a piece of sand or rock? got under the wiper and made a bit of a very fine arc-shaped mark on the windshield. Some of it is just enough to barely feel with a fingernail. It does reflect the light however and you can see it.

I'm trying to figure out what to do here, try to get it out if I can? Put the dealership on notice and let them see what they will suggest, if anything?

Anything here that can get something like this out? I really hate the idea of forcing the issue of a new windshield.
 
Just a thought...Diamondite Spray Clay™ is formulated to remove embedded contaminants from glass to create a clean, smooth appearance .

At first glance, doesn't seem like the answer...but read the marketing:

*It can’t actually remove etched spots, but it will thoroughly clean them so they appear virtually invisible.

*... uses a Kaolin clay

Kaolin is a filler for a lot of detailing products.

Seems that you ought to be able to find it in the trading thread...due to the give away, and the lack of enthusiasm for the product.

If your going to use CeriGlass be careful. Many have inflicted worse scratching with this or have had less than stellar results. Ive used it and had OK results. It was on a 12 year old windshield though. It improved major scratches, but left behind some micro marring. It seems this is the case if used with a DA. Eventually I'll get my hands on a rotary and re-try it.

I also tried it by hand with the glass polishing pads included in the kit. This yielded the same result. Unless you are skilled with this product, I probably wouldn't go at the windshield of a brand new car with it. Maybe practice on some old glass to see if you are happy with the results.
 
look up glass renu online and find a tech in your area. i do this professionally now and it works great.
