Window scratch

[Rich Turley]

The glass is in full-light exterior door (tempered) my guys recently installed. The scratch is about 6" but not continous and very light. Hard to notice. My customer has said nothing so I'd like to take a shot at fixing before she does. I have equipment and experience in polishing granite and marble. I'm hoping to use my 2000 grit pads and up on angle grinder. Have read that I could use slurry of cerium oxide. Does this sound doable, any tips? I have not been able to find a source locally (Seattle/Tacoma) area. What kind of store would carry it. Prefer not to order on the web as I want to do this Tuesday.

Hi every body I'm new to glass scratch removal it looks good to me, I want to get into it.
Knowing very well it has far reaching potential besides auto motive glass, has any one gone beyond auto motive glass scratch removal.

How about plactic scratch removal, any one taken it beyond headlight restoration.

How about vin etching, any one take on high end cars and work the vin etching program. If so how have you made out.

i repaired all types of glass from automotive, residential, grafitti on commercial store fronts. even lobster tanks in grocercy stores. i use the refining maching for deep scratches sold by GT. very efective and a quick method to removing deeper scratches or scribe marks. great money maker once you learn how to use the machine. it does take practice, skill and i consider a art once you get really good and your able to keep distoration to a minimum

My response may be too late, but it is true that cerium is the glass polishing compound of choice. However, your success with it will rely greatly on the type of polishing pad you use. I have heard a lot of good things about Universal Photonics and there LP Unalon polishing pads. They are a cast polyurethane material that is porous. They stick to using a PSA backing and maintain uniform flatness.
