Removing scratches from glass.
Discussion
Hi all, just after peoples experiances of polishing scratches out of glass.
It's the windscreen of the Mk4 Golf I have recently acquired, and there are some scratches right in the line of view, from where the previous owner wiped the screen with the wipers, whilst it was covered in frost
.
Seen various suggestions, such as jewellers rouge, etc. failing to be able to remove the scratches, anything that would make them less obvious would be handy.
Cheers , Dan.

I had a Z-shape scratch on the drivers door window of my Impreza. I got someone (with the slightly comedy name of Robin Mockit) to come to the house and he used a orbital polishing-type of machine along with some sort of compound to polish the glass and the scratch was gone in 5-10 minutes.
Think he charged me around £70. He had to cover the entire car in sheets before starting so that the compound wasn't flicked onto the paintwork by the polisher.
Although the scratch was gone (you could feel it with your nail beforehand, so it wasn't just a light scratch) you could see the glass looked a bit 'wavy' when you looked along it at certain angles.

It must've taken something rather more abrasive than frost.I've tried to polish out scratches from car glass. Never had any success at all.
