    Default Glass scratches and polish

    I have a few scratches on my drivers door window from the previous owner which I fancy sorting. Has anyone used anything effective to deal with scratches on glass?

    Not sure if anyone will come up with anything that actually works with window scratches, I had some on my previous car and couldn't get rid of them, tried all sorts of methods and nothing seemed to work

    Are they deep, can you feel them with your finger nail?

    yes,.. look like someone with a ring has tried wiping the glass and caught it quite deep.
    Hard to take a pic of a glass scratch, hope it's visible as this was taken with my phone.

    Jewellers rouge is what the pros use to remove scratches from glass. If it's a deep scratch though, no amount of polishing will get rid of it.

    It might be cheaper to pick up a new glass from the scrappy than spending a fortune on polishes that don't work Chewy
