Re: [FWDLK] polishing glass scratches



Yes -- Toothpaste. Tartar Control Crest works well. We have successfully removed some fairly deep scratches with toothpaste and a soft cloth, small buffer, or even a cheap electric toothbrush. It also works on eyeglasses.

 

Whenever I recommend this, folks always seem a bit skeptical, but after trying it out they seem amazed.  We've done it on 8 cars now and the glass looks like new.

 

Give it a shot and let us know how it works out!  At the very least, your glass won’t get any cavities.  =)))

Haven't tried it, but I have had pretty good luck hand buffing with just good old "Colgate" toothpaste for small light scratches.

I'm aware of the glass polishing kit from Eastwood for windshield scratches and that Gary Goers basically offers the same thing.  Its cerium oxide and a buff whether you buy it here or there.

 

But I found this on the internet advertised as the only stuff that can be used by hand and wondered if anyone has tried it.

Anyone?

 

Glass shops have told me on a vintage windshield they would rather not machine polish because the heat can crack that old glass and they don't want the liability.  I figure since they are supposed to know what they are doing, I'd probably stand a good chance of breaking a windshield if I go after some well-aged wiper scratches. 

 

Any feedback about this?

 

Wayne
