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...

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.

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.
