Bleeh Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) The '******* cats have lefts very slight (but obvious to the driver) scratches up and down my windscreen. Can anyone recommend a product to use to get rid of them? (The Scratches, the Cats belong to the Miss) (I honestly think moderating eff-ing is a bit heavy handed, you could say Eff ing and jeffing at 11.00 on ITV1 and no-one one would mind) Edited January 16, 2012 by Bleeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulpicide Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I would have said clearalex powder put on dry but you can't get it anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beretta28g Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 1) A Vitara (hairdressers car) will scratch badly you need a mans 4x4. 2) Get rid of the cats quick and get a gundog, you know it makes sense. 3) Only specialist glass/mirror polish may work; but getting it can be rare and expensive.

libs Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Interested in monitoring this, I have an extremely fine eye level scratch that needs to go. BUMP for interest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad1 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) I used to use a cutting compound when I done car resprays years ago I think it was called either g6 or g60 something like that As long as you were careful and don't be to rough with it you can get some good results Edit : sorry my mistake I thought you meant paint work ( these nightshifts affect your mind :blink: ) Edited January 16, 2012 by mad1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimms Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) We have a guy who comes into work once a month doing truck windscreens chips and scratches, he uses a fine paste than is meant for cleaning Jewellery I'm sorry but don't know the make. Sorry I can't be of more help. Edited January 16, 2012 by nimms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, yes it does. 3.) A bit like your successful days Wild-fowling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drut Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 "Jewellers Rouge" will work but,in my experience,only on fairly light scratching.As a guideline if you can feel the scratch with your fingernail its too deep to remove.As mentioned G6/G3 compound may also work.

I don't think I do, even If I did the Cars worth combined with my ridiculous insurance wouldn't make it worth it. I'll take a look into Rouge.
