scuffed glass

KILLswitch · 07-24-2008, 09:23 AM

i got some scuffed up glass on the back cab window, is there any way to cure this?

Griot's Garage sells a glass polish. But they market it for use in removing water spots so maybe it won't do what you are looking for. Maybe a regular rubbing compount could be used if the glass polish isn't aggessive enough?

NEED MORE DETAILS!!!!!

What do you mean scuffed?
What scuffed it?
Any pics?Close up?

We can't recomend a solution if we can't correctly diagnose the problem.

It's pretty cheap glass. I have about a 3" scratch or gouge in mine. Dont remeber what did it.
I thought only a diamond could scratch glass.
I look forward to your suggestions...

Sand will scratch glass too, If your window was sandy/muddy and you rolled it down thats most likely what caused it

mine is on my window in the back it dosent roll down. im pretty sure you can polish a scuff off glass might need special tools tho

Try some eye glass cleaner?

KILLswitch · 07-24-2008, 10:59 AM

does that really work?

vilim12 · 07-24-2008, 11:07 AM

If It works on glasses I would think so? Dont wear glasses and never had to use the stuff so I dont know but its worth a shot and I dont think itd be too expensive?

Cheapness of the glass doesn't have anything to do with how hard it is.
Lots of things scratch glass including many rocks, carbide, tool steel, other glass.
Cleaner won't do anything, but clean it anyway.
I sincerely doubt you will be able to buff it out unless it is a very minor surface mark.
That filler wax junk for eyeglasses sounds like a good plan, but all that stuff really does is fill in the crack with clear stuff so it is harder to see.

As Skyboi said, Pics would be helpful.

i was thinking rainx- it is very simiar to eyeglass cleaner i think made with a kind of plastic like light viscosity fluid may fill in the light surface marks and they are very light

Try chrome and glass polisher, machine application would be best

I would only recommend these after I've seen the scuff marks in question.

1. How deep are they?
2. How many are there?
3. What made them?
4. Can they be filled?

Till these get answered...we're all just shooting blanks......
