Glass scratch removal

[colr6]

Just going through the glass for my Tina ( not literally ) discovered quite a few scratches when cleaned and a wiper mark on front screen. Has anyone used or can recommend a scratch remover, when you read the write ups on most of them there all supposed to be the dogs danglies. But as found with other products some are shite and not worth the effort. Let me know if you've had any success with any of them. Cheers Col.

In my experience, polishing car glass is a waste of time for anything but the very lightest / finest of scratches. A good rule of thumb is that if you can feel it with your finger nail, it won't come out

Years ago when I worked in a garage we had a man in a van come out to do that stuff. It was better but never perfect, can't remember his name and it was in Coventry so of absolutely no use whatsoever to you!

total waste of time, effort and cash

Autosol metal polish?....sounds weird but someone recently told me it works on glass hobs.....and it did!!!

I've just replaced my front screen because of the scratches, driving home to Devon the sun in mostly in your eyes! an improvement as I now have a blue tinted zone at the top

Thanks for the replies guys, suppose I could take it into the local windscreen place after twatting it with a hammer and pay the £70 excess on screens and have a new one fitted. But knowing my luck they'll say sorry mate it's going to be a special order £350 please.

These are a worthwhile upgrade mate and not that expensive in the grand scheme of things

Got my Anglia laminated one from a place in Stafford, the screens are relativity cheap it's the delivery what whaps the price up. Think on the Anglia the delivery was more than the screen!

I was up there anyway so collected mine in person

Could be an option, I need some stainless bumpers from Harringtons so could be worth the trip and get a screen aswell

Col, a trick we used in the army was polish with cardboard and wait for it........liquid brasso.........and I can hear you saying brasso, in the army never!

Just Try it on a non obvious place first.

Hope this helps

Well chaps I've tried every polish and or abrasive known to man, by hand and by machine. NO GOOD worth a try though. Better order some new ones

Don't polishes include abrasives? Surely no good for glass.
