Factory tinted glass
Discussion
I have managed to scratch quite badly the rear passenger window of my 07 BMW 5 Series whilst cleaning it yesterday.
I originally spec'd it with rear tinted glass - I am happy to give scratch removal a go with polish and a drill, but does anybody know if the outer glass is tinted, the inner or is the glass 'tinted' throughout as I would hate to find I polish away and create a 'non tinted' circle in a tinted window!
Thanks in advance

What polisher are you using, Dremmel? What attachment?
Where in the country are you?

Thanks for your reply glassman...
I'm in the South near Gatwick and yes I'm talking about 'privacy glass'.
It looks like some of the scratches are deep enough to have a 'white' element to them, but 90% are simply nasty irritating surface rather then deep.
Would Halfords have anything that will do the job?

Glassman, I've had a go with some rapid paste cutting compound and T-Cut afterwards with a disk fitted with a sheeps wool mitt and it has done a pretty fair job.
Still scratched, about 50% better and it has given me confidence to have another crack at it!
If I keep the compound you suggest simply damp will that help or do I need a specific 'wet polisher'?

It seems like only a small area so splashing out on anything more than what you've got will prove too expensive - you might as well buy new glass!
There are polishing wheels which attach to a normal household drill (try fleabay) or even the Dremmel variety.
PM me if you want any of the yeyo.
