Polishing Glass
Hi Guys
I have found a scratches on the side window of my car. It looks like some tw*t has tried to break the window. You can just about feel them when you
run a finger nail over them and they are on average 4cm long. If it was 1 or 2 i would probably leave them alone, but its a large collection.
I have googled around and found several kits for removing scratches but...
Can anyone recommend a product / kit for removing scratches in glass?
I would rather buy a kit/product that someone can recommend.
Many Thanks

where are these scratches? are they completely vertical? if they're that light you can just about fel them, isn't it scratches from the
window running up and down?

if your feeling brave,
very, very fine wire wool over the glass, then a fine polish and using something like an orbital sander on a medium speed to apply.
away from cars, now cycling and building TT bikes

Jeweller rouge will help, but not fully remove scratches on toughened (side window) glass.
What car is it?
Imagine what it would be like if there were no hypothetical situations.

I imagine its cheaper/same price to go to a scrappy and get a replacement window rather than buy polish?
