How do I remove scratches from the windscreen?

this q was asked afew months back with no real answer other than make sure the insurance is in date and hit it with a hammer.

D'oh!

I noticed T-Cut make a scratch remover and it does say it works on glass, perhaps worth a try...

I only collected the car on Friday (Ex Demonstrator) so perhaps it's going back...

Cheers

How about

?

Toothpaste. Seriously.

pull the other one..........leg that is..........rubbish..........

It works very well on clear plastic (an old modeller's trick from when I was a kid, IIRC)

Would have thought that glass would be too hard, though - I'd look at a specialist glass polish, myself (Autogylm as a first try, or something that a glazier would recommend).

Assumption: a *very* light scratch

Well... toothpaste IS a mild compound so with enough elbow grease (think big polishing machine) you might do it.

But for glass, you'd want a range of compounds to that you can get it quick then smooth over to a "glass" finish.

Not really something you can do without a machine.

& do a search for "glass polishing kit". About £20 & works pretty well - I think the cutting agent is called Cerium Oxide IIRC.

You use an electric drill & you have to be careful to keep it moving & keep the thing wet enough so that you don't get a localised heat build up which can weaken the glass.

I used it on the inside of a big aquarium with good results & that's made of plate glass which is very hard. It took quite a while though - over an hour to do an area about 9" by 9". I've seen the same kit advertised for polishing windscreens. All that said, as a general rule, if the scratch(es) are deep enough such that you can feel them with a fingernail then they are reckoned to be too deep to polish out.
