Glass scratch repair???

[31 Model A]

Anyone have something that works for them? Sarah has a few scratches on her back window from something scrapping ice off, it seems and the windshield has some wiper scratches.

Never did it but I hear that toothpaste is a good compound for removing minor glass scratches. It's a low abrasive. With that said I would think rubbing compound would probably work just as well.

I've always been told if run your finger nail over the scratches and you can feel the scratch nothing but replacement is going to work,

Hopefully by this time next week I'll have room in the bucket for other stuff. Re-doing the fuel line system starting Monday. All parts was shipped today. Until then I'll work on the scratches on the glass and see what I can do. Spent most of today removing the small scratches on the body.

They can be seen but not felt so some might come out. I'm going to try Mequiar's X 2.0 and see how it works on a spot or two.

Whatever you do DONT try to fix the ones directly in front of you in the drivers seat UNTILL you find a product/method to repair them.... just in case whatever method you try backfires and causes more scratches or hazyness you can still see out of your windshield.

I have a plastic quart container of 3M liquid polishing compound. This is much less abrasive than rubbing compound. I can't find it right now to give you the part number, but it's a white liquid. I would start with the least abrasive first, so you don't add to the problem.

I've also seen things advertised to make scratches disappear, but I don't know the name. You might call some body shops and glass shops to ask them for advice.

31 Model A: I have had great success with Jeweler's Rouge.......I suggest you "Google" it. It is not expensive, applies easily and has quickly removed minor scratches (to include the dreaded wiper scrape) for me.

I believe my polishing compound was intended mainly for paint, but I use it for a lot of things. The glass compound you show looks like an even better choice over my compound.

BTW, years ago I quit using those plastic ice scrapers with the brass blade because they leave brass lines in the glass that aren't too fun to remove.
