Bubble wrapped glass left 'impregnated' circles

[s2t]

We have a black glass table top which has been stored by the supplier for sometime. Today it was delivered and I noted it had been wrapped in bubble wrap
Problem is upon closer examination I can see a series of circles where the glass has been in contact with the bubble wrap.
Can this be removed - if so how - i have tried Windowlene in a small area to no avail
Certainly in the past when I have done a removal we have wrapped glass in paper then bubble wrap

Erm, something more abrasive, try cif or something with a bit of cutting action. As it's a car forum, t-cut!

[markbigears]

have yo got any autoglym resin polish handy?

[markiii]

id try claying it first

[V8RX7]

Brake cleaner, cellulose thinners, car polish would be my order of attack.

Thanks for the above
I think before trying any of the more abrasive cleaners will need to also speak to the supplier am awaiting hi response/advice too.

Brasso's probably a good bet if you don't have T-cut in the house.

Silvo/silver polish is less coarse than brass polish. Jewellers rouge even less so for a glass surface.

This is pistonheads, rotary machine polisher with £500 polish & wax.

Let us know what you do use though/the company says

White vinegar and baking soda.

This. Also good for windscreens if you get wax on them...

[Fatboy]

Meths or acetone should shift any residue..

If you buy an item which is marked then send it back for them to sort out, it isn't your job to do it and if you fk it up you will have no comeback.

[untakenname]

High percentage IPA will remove the marks in seconds.

Hardly the Dunkirk spirit though, and if it can be fixed in 2 minutes in situ it will save days/weeks of time and hassle and cost.

'If'.


"Hello I'd like to return this as it's got marks on it"
"Yes Sir, can we take a look at it?" <<Inspects table>>
"Ok, which marks are you talking about Sir?"
"The bubble wrap marks"
"What about the swirly scratch marks?"
"Ah I did those after some random bloke on an internet forum told me to"
"I see, I'm sorry, but we can't take this back as you've damaged it"
"Yes I know, but I did use Dunkirk Spirit"
"Ah, why didn't you say so Sir? How would you like me to apply the refund Sir?"

You wont get it off, it needs replaced.

Once upon a time I worked in the Comet repair depot where the boffins pretended to repair TVs that were under warranty.

After more than 100 TVs were written off and credit notes were given out for returned TVs with "sucker" marks on the screen it was discovered that the bubble side of the wrap etched the screen, ruining it.

Still, I don't really watch the TV in the spare room much anyway
