Scratch on window
Posted by teejay on Wednesday, September 24, 2014 11:57 PM

Has anyone ever removed minor scratches on window of automobile?  I've heard of soaking it in pledge future. Does that work?

It depends how deep the scratch is. If it's light enough, Future might do the trick.

I usually use a fine grit stick down to polishing grade then polish with Simoniz Swirl and Haze Remover and it looks like real glass.

Actually, any self-leveling gloss clearcoat will have that effect. I have used Future, Glosscoat, and a clear acrylic spray.  All seem to work for very minor scratches.

Hi ;

Everyone has given you pretty sound advice .What I would do is this .See if you can feel it with a light pass of a fingernail  .If so then do this . Can you remove the window or window unit from the model without damaging it ? If so then sand it WET with 800Grit to get it smooth then graduate to 2000 grit .

After you've done that then use NOVUS polish and then the NOVUS protective coat afterwards .Or just polish it with ToothPaste NOT gel , and then dip it in Future .
