Default Light scratches in door glass

Hey all, I've just noticed that I have three light scratches that run parallel to one another on the outside of the driver-side glass (towards the back portion of the window). I hope that someone could give me a solution as to how to go about polishing out the scratches. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Any help is greatly appreciated--Thanks

I know just the stuff you need but the only problem is you can only order it through a auto glass shop its scratch remover polish and it's a powder and you have to use it with a white hard wool pad on the end of a elec. drill. I just ordered some to get some stains off my glass and it's $30 for a 1 lb jar. I think you would be better off just letting the glass shop polish them out for you it shouldn't cost very much and that would be cheaper than buying the polish powder and the wool pad and bit which also cost $49. Hope this helps.

I would try a glass polish before anything, they can only fix very very minor problems so don't epxect the world from them.

i work in a glass shop for years now
there is now way to get them out you can buff them but any mark you can feel with you fingernail is not going to come out best bet is to find a used glass and get a shop to put it in

Thanks for the replys everyone <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

I'll try to polish the scratches out, but then again, I can feel one or two of them with my finger-nail <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

What upsets me more is that I had just recently tinted my windows <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> Now I'll probably have to go find a used piece of glass at a wrecking yard and then have it tinted again <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Thanks again
