Scully Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 The painter previous to me has scratched some panes of glass while sanding down glazing bars. Can anyone recommend a good scratch removing kit? Ta. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harnser Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Tooth paste or bicarbonate of soda . Depending on how deep the scratches are .i have a car scratch remover that works well with a lot of elbow grease . harnser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewulf Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Like has been said, depends on how deep they are, anything below 400grit and youre going to have a problem. If they are very light, a light abrasive compound like brasso might work, but anything above that, it may be worth trying some fine paper first to get the deeper marks out, like 12-1500g , then compounding out. A machine polish would do the job much easier too, if you can get it in there, preferably with a proper automotive compound like farecla. An oily wax may take your eye away from it to finish.

team tractor Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 If you can feel the scratch with your nails it’s permanent. glass companies have a polishing wheel and paste but it’s pretty rubbish and takes forever to remove tiny tiny scratches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockySpears Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Does it matter what sort of glass? I have a convertible that puts the lid into the boot, but over time I think it has scuffed the carpet in the boot. I have stopped futher scuffinf with double-sided tape to keep the carpet low, but wonder if I could get the marks ot of the rear window. Tthis would be tempered glass and not house window flat glass, so I was wondering if it made a difference to what I might use to tidy the glass up? Thanks, RS PS No need for any comments on the car. OH and I enjoy whizzing around the countryside with the top down, even when it is cold, so long as there is no rain, the top is down. Still room for small suitcase and bottles and picnic in the boot too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewulf Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Same remedy, just be careful ( if the scuff is on the inside) you dont rub away the rear screen demist element) if it has one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockySpears Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Brasso and elbow grease it is then, Cheers, RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago we used to use Jewellers Rouge .... never very successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
