Auto Window Glass Scratches

[Marvel]

Hi,
I am looking for a Glass Polish source or recommendation to remove some light scratches on the '68 ?

Check GRiots kit with 3" glass polishing pads.
Also bought separately Cerium Oxide -8oz by Gordon glass company distributed by Technologylk.com
It takes some effort and time but does a very good job on small scratches.
There are various u-tube videos on similar products and methods.
Worth the review

Rule of thumb used to be that if you can feel it with your fingernail as you drag your finger across the glass it's too deep to polish out. I'm assuming it hasn't changed but i'm willing to be (re)educated.

I think that rule might be outdated. I've got a local guy who's been able to polish out some VERY significant scratches for me. I'd check locally for a professional if you're looking for superior results.

This is promising. I have about 100 or so pieces of glass that I've been less and less excited about putting in cars because of the scratches. Maybe I'll get some of the worst ones worked on and see what happens.

Do not expect miracles but if you have a rare piece of glass he might be able to save it.

I think I'm gon'a finally look into this....

Got all original glass in the Chevelle that came with some odd scratches in the passenger door glass (just tried to take a pic in my well lit garage... freak'n impossible!!!!!)

However the possible fix goes against common wisdom... the scratches STOP my fingernail....

Eastwood sells a kit with Cerium Oxide powder for mixing the slurry and a thick felt wheel for a big 1750 polisher.

I was able to get some "finger nail" scratches out, but was left with some subtile distortion.

Did it in the car to save an original Sigla 356 windshield and it's diagonal seam gasket.

Long, messy, hard task...but worth it to save the windshield.

Cool, that's good news.

Is there any extra caution needed if the glass is tinted?
