Scratch in Glass
Anybody have a suggestion to remove a small scratch, more like a "scuff' actually, from a door glass?
I've seen kits advertised for this that use some kind of powder, but have not had any experience with it. Looking for ideas or solutions.

Re: Scratch in Glass
If it "catches" when you drag a fingernail across the scratch, it is to deep to buff out.

It does not "catch" as you say. What is recommended to buff it with?

Re: Scratch in Glass
A good used window wouldn’t be too hard to find?
Not really that hard to replace... |

The "scuff" does not show unless the light catches it just right. Plus, all the glass is original with correct date codes. Don't want to mess that up for something that 99% won't notice.

Re: Scratch in Glass
Here in FL is a company called SuperGlass windshield repair. We use them often to buff out scratches in residential construction windows, mirrors and shower enclosures. See if there is a windshield repair company in your area and give them a call. Expect 100 - 150 dollars. Maybe less if you take the car to them.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check around. As I am in the middle of nowhere so it may or may not be a possibility, but never know 'till checking.

Re: Scratch in Glass
I would suggest you replace the rubber window seals, felt strips, and inner bumpers as a future project. Over time, they can wear out and scratch the side window glass.

Re: Scratch in Glass
We use cerium oxide and a felt wheel. Keep in mind, the door glass is harder than the windshield and will take more effort to polish.

Re: Scratch in Glass
Amazon has some nice little kits in the $20-$30 range.
