Regular "Pitting" in a windshield believe it or not is caused by acid
rain more so than sand. Unless you drive through sand storms frequently.
Buffing out the pits is possible if very minor but will wear down the
windshield and your wipers will suck! Not a good idea and probably more
expensive. Just did my windshield, insurance pays for two a year so I
might as well get my money's worth, it was only 120 dollars installed.
Get a new one.
