Glass scratch repair???

You can, or at least could, buy jewler's rouge (red) at Sears in the hardware department.

I'd also call the local body and glass shops for advice.

Sure wish I was still in the Army..................a squad or platoon of hard working soldiers would sure be useful right about now.:D
 
While polishing spark-plugs for the Continental Aircraft Cylinder Lamps that I build and sell, I found that Home Depot, Menards, and my local Ace Hardware stores carried jewler's rouge. I think Ace had the better selection but Home Depot had the best prices. I hope this helps

Easier to buy there than on line...................thanks
 
For glass, it's definitely cerium oxide. The 3M liquid stuff posted in the link by 31 Model A works, but is expensive. Glass shops buy straight cerium oxide and mix their own to polish cut and ground edges and remove fine scratches. Here's a 1 lb container, about 3X what is in the 3M bottle: LINK I used to use the stuff to polish stone cabs years ago when I did lapidary work. Here's another: LINK

I came across that also....might try it too.
 
I use Bon-Ami (their slogan "Hasn't scratched Yet!) on the glass of my wood stove. Use plenty of water and maybe some liquid soap. It is available in hardware stores. Years ago a scratched a window with an aluminum frame of a cleaning squeege while washing the window. Bon-Ami also took out these scratches. Ed
 
Auto glass shops will sometimes be able to polish minor scratches out, Check with one of the bigger shops. I had the glass out of a 63 1/2 Ford Galaxie 500 polished for a customer once. It turned out OK but not like new.
 
Greetings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Remember this thread from way back when? Good informative thread and I followed all the great advice and I worked and worked, rubbed and rubbed and I pretty much worked my fingers to the bone and most all I ended up with was boney fingers. I put everything down and moved on to another need, then I thought I'd go back and start fresh trying to remove these scratches again. Got everything back out and I thought, there has to be a better and faster way, so I went on the net and did some searches and I did find a faster way of removing all these scratches that wasn't mentioned....glass and safety glass at that, is cheap so I just ordered replacement glass to replace scratched glass and original safety glass. WaaaLaa!!!! more time now to spend doing what I do best!!!!!!;):D Just call me a lazy retired old fart............I don't care. :D
 
Try Brasso the same stuff ya used in the army to polish your belt buckles and metals. If it takes the scratches out of metal it may also work on your glass.
