    Was wondering if anybody knew how to polish or with what to polish windows with light scratches. My driver side window has scratches (over time) from rolling my window up and down when there was light dust and dirt.

    That is rare............is it some sort of grime that emmulates scratches ..............perhaps..? try a brand new razorblade with dish soap and water one direction only, down .............the only other option is a scratch remover machine, never seen used on concave glass, just flat plates, replacement of window with new piece is $$ , but is probly the best way to go..............

    That JANVIL looks like good stuff :rock: I just haven seen anything that is more easily available like at a autozone or wal-mart. Wonder if anyone knows of some type trick, I heard to use a rubbing compound, but think that it would make more scratches :dontknow:

    You must understand that any compound that takes out scratches in glass, takes forever to do it. It is a very slow process. And you must also remember that what you are doing is wearing away glass to get to the bottom of the scratch. Well when you change the thickness of the glass you change the clarity of your vision through it. If the scratches are very light, you shouldn't have any problems. But if they are deep, you will have problems.

    Good luck, and take your time.
