Can this be done? Both my door glass,plus the 1/4 glass has small scratches in it.It looks like crap compared to the new paint job.Can they be buffed out? What type of place would do this?[glass company?] I allready pulled the drivers glass out,and replaced it,but the new glass has a few small scratches in it. Or is glass repo`ed by anyone ? thanks,Keith
Eastwood sells a kit for this You can also use a mini-buffer and some Colgate or Crest toothpaste and low rpm to polish the glass.
cerrium (might be spelled wrong) oxide form jc whitneys has worked for me in the past. whatever you use, dont let the glass get hot from the friction. low rpms as mentioned by GStage1 is a must. not only does heat greaten the chance of glass breakage but can gum up your solution and make it less effective. small diameter felt wheels about 2 inches thick and not over 3 inches in diameter will work well. the small diameter will keep the outer odge of the speed slow and the thickness will give you good flexibility while trying to hold the tool straight. let the wheel and compounds do the work. dont press too hard. taking the scratches out is only half the battle. fixing the window's old/brittle/dirty seals that made the scratches needs to be addressed or you will be in the same boat in the future. when using the toothpaste route, i prefer the colgate to the crest. if you have access to any old cars, practice a little on one of them for a few minutes.
Optical grade cerriam oxide can be bought at your local lapidary shop, used by rockhounds for tumblers. It works very well.
