Best solution for 21-year-old windshield with lots of tiny, scratches...

Nothing deep, like a wiper scratch. Cerium Oxide appears to be the popular choice. Would Megiuar's Ultimate Compound be another option? In both cases, would hand apply and not use DA buffer or drill.

Or see if your auto insurance cover glass replacement. If you have any areas that make it unsafe to see correctly, they may cover it. Or, luck out like I did with a number of stone chips that worked in my favor.

Bummer. Mine is covered under a specific glass coverage rider I believe - no premium increase.

Shop around. There's an indy place near me called Windshield Express that does great work, cheap. They charged me $190, out the door, to replace the windshield in my 2012 Yukon XL, with the tint at the top and everything. No insurance claim needed.

A new windshield shouldn't cost that much for that body style, you'd be better off replacing it if it's really that bad.
