the easiest way to remove the pitting is to remove the windsheild frame altogether all kidding aside i really dont know, suppose you could try an flitz it.

I think filling it with some kind of fairong compound is the only way to fix it....I'm intending to try the alumaprep, alodine and awlgrip prime/paint. Since I have them off my Tsunami working on them should be easy enough.

I had my frame off the boat and the glass removed and used a razor scraper & WD 40 to lightly scrape the pits off. It cleaned up pretty well, I tried a bunch of chemicals but found the above cleaned the pits off rather easily.

Ben..my wife would kill me...she might get wet ....I will try the flitz and also the razor and WD40..not bad enough to fill...just annoying surface type pits and streaking...mabey even some brasso...or that wadding cleaner that comes in a can ..cant remember the name
thanks all

The woody wax products work pretty well, leave it on for 24 hours, then use copper steel wool to rub it down...
