Scratched glass ? Best product/method

[adam172]

Hey guys my boot lid glass has some pretty bad scratches on.

Was just seeing if there's a way I can get them out and what's best for the job.

Some scratches are deeper than others but if I can get most of the smaller ones out I would be very happy

Hope you can help

Using Autoglym car glass polish will remove the lighter ones (mask)

Cerium Oxide and a machine polisher.

Replace the Window.

Use a glass polish (Although youll only really remove dirt and watermarks with some glass polishes)

But as mentioned it may covet up sOme of the lighter ones, no?

Problem is I don't have a machine polisher, nore do I really want to change the glass.

Are there any places that deal with this kind of thing? I'd rather not have to change my screen if I can help it.

Pro Detailers maybe but youll have to shop about. Takes a lot of time too. I have a feeling the £70 excess would be a better bet.

You asked lol. And no, I dont know if itll even mask the scratches but IMO that would be pretty pointless. Like I said though AG GP is only good for water marks and dirt.

Hardly worth bothering. Mimic a stone chip with a centre pop, and get Autoglass out

Do in your window & pay the excess to get it replaced if it bothers you that much

I tried to Ceruim Oxide my glass on the Volvo. Did sweet nothing really. I'm just going to stump up the excess to get a new screen. It'll probably be ok for really, really light scratches, but the cost and hassle of trying to take the scratches out isn't worth it imo. It takes reeking ages and is a messy job.

You need a rotary polisher, some thin polishing diuscs (Cant remember which they were) and some Cerium oxide powder. Mix it to your required grade, and spend f**king agers doing it. Takes a long long time.

Id sooner smash my windscreen by accident.

Cerium oxide is a b*****d and made a load of mess of my wall when I did mine. It was the first time though so maybe I had used a bit much. LAke country used to do a "proper" glass polish but PB don't seem to do it anymore.

Lake country do one. Or did. Remember seeing it give great results actually.
