light scratches on glass...

ArmyofOne · 04-30-2008, 10:21 PM

Is there a way i can get rid of them? I have tinted windows, the scratches are on the outside surface, looks like it was a piece of dirt caugt in the channel or the glass was really dirty when it was rolled down. they are deep enough to feel, but barely, and they REALLY show with the 15% on the front...how do i get rid of them without buying a new window (drivers door)?

You could try the westwood glass polishing compound. You would need a angle grinder or drill to get it to work.

Run your finger nail over it, if it catches then it won't come out.

Also, working with glass you have to keep in my mind that if you apply too much pressure in one location and heat builds it might warp that area.

then i wont even try, fingernail catches all of them. i wonder why they scratched so early...maybe a warranty replacement? only have 20k on the car, but the car came from nevada...that could be it huh?

I just bought a glass polishing pad and glass polishing stuff, you might wanna try the same. If your nail catches it, they won't come out most likely, but you can probably soften the appearance of them
