Glass Scratch Removal

[DaddyCee]

Hi All.

 

I seem to have some scratches on the passenger window that I would like to clear up. I hear that toothpaste can be used, but I think the scratch is a little deeper than that would work on. So has anyone tried this product:

Cheers,

The scratches on the windows are a common problem, there's a few threads about it on here. Sorry to say this, but your not getting them out. Toothpaste will work on the plastic headlights but not on the glass.

You could machine polish them, purely just to take the edge off so they dont look as bad.

correct they are in Doncaster! they run two businesses, they started out with the glass repairs first. Don't know what area they will cover.

Didnt think it was possible. Do they have to be very light scratches?

Use it with water and a high speed drill (not cordless too slow) you will need a buffing wheel like this:

Mask the side of your car and surrounding panels, plastics etc, it gets everywhere.

 

Go easy at it, and work a bigger area than the scratch. This will cut into the glass and cause a ripple if you focus too small.

You can take more off but ya can't put it back

 

Here's a demo:

 

 

EDIT:

 

Noticed you have a Roadster, do not get the Rouge on the roof skin ! It will wash off paint but not fabrics or plastics.

Rouge has a little more cut to it than Cerium, the video was more a demo of the technique as its the same process.

You can get the rayon pads and car pro ceri glass is what I use to remove scratching on glass but it's tricky and you have to be careful with heat.
