Polishing Glass

[MightySprocket]

All my glass is mint except the drops (to be expected for 36 year old windows).

From what I can gather/google you can polish out most scratches with Cerium Oxide, has anyone tried this or know if it works. My windows are only dulled by very fine marks so im guessing it must be worth a go

Could always try the trusty old Auto Glym car glass polish?

[cossieglen]

Could be worth a try before though mate, can't make it any worse, and also wont feck your screen

I heard fag ash with a few drops of water & made into a paste is a good glass polish

cheers people ill let you know if it works

[Retro-gone.]

im a glazier by trade and ive never found anything that works good enough, jewellers rouge is supposed to be good but its a nightmare to use, its almost impossible to remove scratches from toughened glass, any windscreen company will tell you that

my drop glass has big downwards gouges and iv tried jewellers rough and rough compound g3 and machined

 

it cant be done

 

maybe best to buy a new pair from avo club

I will give it a try and if the results aren't good enough look at replacing them in the future

T-cut???

[MightySprocket]

dont think it has the qualitys to cut glass, apparently Jewellers and window/windscreen repair firms use 'Cerium Oxide' and a Mop, CO is available on the net/eBay. Going to get some and give it a try
