Pitted Windshields
Does anyone know of a way to reduce/remove pitting in the windshield?

Depends how bad it is.
There are companies here in UK that can repair chipped screens or polish out scratches but if it's a widespread problem, you probably need a new screen. |

You would have to remove material from the surface of the glass to smooth it out. .....I don't know of any process/companies that would do that (perhaps for safety reasons). You best bet is to use a glass polish and keep it as clean as possible (if visibility is your concern). The other option is to replace as has been mentioned. .....I'm living with pits too.

Chips can be repaired using a resin injection process like this.

Thanks everyone. I live in the NE, and each winter the pitting gets a little worse from all the sand, and not only in my windshield but my bumper as well.
I should have put a clear bra on my bumper, oh well….. |

If you have full coverage insurance, hope it gets cracked and replace it for free. Mine looks great now.
