HELP! Scratches in glass ??
I just got my teal hatch this past weekend, but one problem remains is the glass.
All windows have scratches in them, they are small surface scratches, but it seems they have been there for a while. Lots of swirls on the rear hatch glass and the windshield has marks from the wipers.
How can I get these out, I am NOT replacing the glass. I need to know if body shop or glass specialist can take out these scratches, I tried a glass polishing kit from eastwoodco.com and it worked for shit. Can I have someone wetsand, or buff the windshield and rear glass ? I am in desperate need of help!

If you are able to catch a nail on the scratch, it is unrepairable. Glass compaines might be able to polish/remove some of the scratches.
How did you aplly the glass polish? High speed rotary polisher will work best because of the heat it creates.
Works with your 4 1/2" or 5" air angle grinder set at 2000 rpm. WARNING: This System Removes Glass. Keep Glass Wet With Water and Spinning Abrasives Moving Across Entire Surface to Avoid Heat Build-Up and Optical Distortion. Includes: Self-adhering hook and loop pad, coarse, medium and fine abrasives, Pro Glass Polishing Kit (40011) and instructions.
