My windshield looks like it's been through a sand storm. Tiny chips all over it. Same with the clearcoat on the paint. Driving at the track can be cruel to your car.

OEM glass from Sewell is $692.95 with the CL discount. Not the cheapest, but a great price for OEM glass.

let me know if you find a fix
I had the same issue. Plenty of chips and pits on both of my cars, I had a mobile repair shop come out to swap rearview mirrors for me, and they can't be repaired unless they are actual cracks. Guess I will deal for now.
