Buffing/rubbing it with toothpaste sometimes does the trick if the scratch isn't too deep.

"That'll should buff out". Thats what a few have said about my side window carnage. I'm not sure what is used. A buffer and probably some type of sanding/buffing stuff. Let us know how it goes and what you use. I have about a three square feet "scratch"

you didnt scratch it by scraping off with a license plate did you?

cccp

no i scratched with an ice scraper

wjwerdna

ok... i know for sure that a scrape from aluminum plate WILL NOT come out

toothpaste was a good idea
other very mild abrasives... I'll try to think of something

LOL hahaha

well i tried toothpaste and i even tried wax, no results i still have the scratch and i even used a buffer. That scratch dosent bother me when i drive so i guess ill have to live with it, unless something else comes up.

There is a product that is meant to remove hard water or hot wax stains from the glass. It has an abrasive, like fast orange. It is a paste that you apply, then buff off. It really worked well on my glass. The label has worn off because I keep it in my toolbox, but I think it may be called Bio Clean, or someting like that.

A product like this may blend, or aid in masking the scratch you have.

I work in a glass shop, and there is really not much that you can do to fix a scratch, it will always be there, the scratch will not spread or crack so there is not much to worry about.

1990, you prob dont have comprehensive insurance on that... this may be a good topic for a new thread, but when i had a 91 (other brand- unimportant ) i stil carried comp for another 150 a year, which covered glass (one windsheild from 4 big chips), natural crap that happens, vandalism, theft, and a $1800 repair due to destroying a deer.... seemed worth it

ive heard about products that take out really light scratches, but cant find it anywhere, good luck again

the scratch does not bother me when i drive, i dont pay attention to it. i just wanted to remove it, oh well i guess i will have to live with it unless something else comes up

eastwood company sells a Pro Glass Polishing Kit for $34.99. they say it's for removing wiper haze and minor defects you can't feel with your fingernail. if the scratch is deeper they have the Deep Scratch Pro Glass Repair Kit for $45.99.

if you try it let us know how it works, i have a bunch of scratches that need help.

I tried the eastwood kit on my side windows. They are all scratched up not sure from what. They were like that when I bought it. The kit did help some but I was never able to completely remove the scratches.

just my 2 cents worth.
