Window scratches.

[Typhoon]

Have any of you guys ever used anything you'd recommend to try and tidy out a window scratch?

It's quite big but doesn't feel that deep.

Cheers

Which window?

Which window?

Passenger side.

I guess it depends how bad they are. You could take it to a windscreen expert to see if they can improve it, failing that over cost etc, buy a replacement one

It's just the one, it isn't too big, just want to clean it up a little.

Doesn't feel too deep either. It looks a bit like a smudge of dirt (it isn't).. or like someones fingerprint.

I've got several scratches in my passenger side one from the winter (Getting rid of ice ) Could it be polished out?

Stick the question in the detailing thread, bound to get an answer there.

Looks horrific.

It's one of the "small niggly" things in life.

You'l need cerium oxide and a rotary to polish the glass, not an easy task from what i've heard

Will definitely look in to that.

I think it's a wives tale but someone told me toothpaste..?

Think thats for "glasses" not glass as glasses are generally some sort of acrylic, the abrasive in the toothpaste would work on that, but don't think they've got a hope on real glass, otherwise you'd most likely abrade your teeth away over time!
