Polishing glasses.

Before my missus spends a ridiculous amount of £££ on a new pair, does anyone on here have any tips for polishing scratches put, I have already tried the toothpaste method, thanks all 👍

Maybe a fine cutting compound? Like used on paintwork.

Trizact used to be used to good effect.

Good old WD40 will do the trick on fine scratches.

I did come across that but wasn't sure how well it would work, I'll give that a go on one lense, thanks 👍

You can buy a paste that the double glazing industry use on Feebay or the inner brown cardboard on a beer box is classed as a very very fine sandpaper so use this with your toothpaste but rub vertically as you would look out as the naked eye 'sees' horizontal scratches easier. Hope it helps as it should

It works, rub for 5mins at a time then rinse and leave to dry fully ( about 12 mins; enough time to walk to the fridge and drink a bottle of Becks ) it will probably take 2 to 3 bottles depending on the depth of scratches

Brilliant, I'll give it a try before I order anything else. Thanks again. 

Not sure I'm allowed that many bottles in one evening though 😬😂

Not an image I needed.

Good thing I can't sleep at night or that would haunt me.
