With scratches that are very pronounced, old, or
rough you may find it impossible to remove
scratches from glass. There are methods in which
to lessen or even remove small imperfections and
hairline scratches. The first step is to choose a
polishing or buffing compound to buff the glass.
After buffing you will need to wash and dry the
glass. If this does not work you may need to see
a professional. Always remember to be safe when
you attempt to do glass scratch removal so make
sure that you handle with care any glass that has
very deep cracks or scratches. Also remember that
tempered or safety glass is made to break or
crack under particular conditions. When buffing
this glass apply light pressure.

To remove scratches from glass without causing
any more damage chose a buffing or polishing
compound that is made to use with any glass.
These agents can include toothpaste that is
gel-based, polishing compounds, or a jeweler's
rouge. Make sure that you are not using a
polishing cream that is abrasive because it can
make more scratches. Use a buffing pad to apply
it on the area that is scratched and rub it
gently in a circle using light pressure. You
might use a buffer that is electric on medium
speed for large or deep scratches.

After a couple of minutes of buffing you should
look to see if you are removing the scratches.
You can apply more of the cleaning agent if you
need too and resume buffing until the scratches
are removed as much as they can be removed.
Sometimes you may not be able to see the
scratches but sometimes they are not removed
entirely but are not as visible. After attempting
to remove scratches from glass you can use a
mixture that will help to improve the appearance
of the glass by giving it an extra shine. Use a
mixture of four parts water and two parts ammonia
to wash the glass completely. After rinsing the
glass dry it using a rag or towel that is
lint-free.

There are some cases in which you cannot remove
scratches from glass. You also cannot fix cracks
by buffing. A professional may be able to fix it
or you can have it removed and then replaced or
you may use glass scratch remover expert. A glass
cleaning professional might be able to remove
scratches if you cannot do it by buffing. Deep
scratches could affect the glass strength so to
guarantee safety it may need to be replaced.
Generally you cannot buff a scratch away if you
can easily put your fingernail into the glass.
