Default Glass Polishing in Houston

Ok, guys, my wife scratched the rear window on her tahoe and I tried polishing it and made it look worse, lol. Does anyone here polishing glass or know someone that does? I know there are many guys that detail here and thought maybe they do glass polishing. Lmk if anyone does, Thanks, Josh

That's what I used and it made it worse. I can't get the white haze from
The sanding pads to come out.

You might need finer sanding pads. When we sand on airplane acryilic windows the grit is unheard of.

Try Griots Garage. I recently purchased there D/A Polisher and I also picked up the glass polishing pad and polish. It works well for very small imperfections. If you can feel it with your fingernail you might be in trouble. Maybe a professional service may be able to take care of it. Google is your friend with this I would say.

I bought a new glass today. No one really does it because it's not cost effective. Thanks guys

I meant to post earlier but, yes, labor alone would outweigh the cost of a new window...plus, sanding/polishing curved tempered glass often has a 'Coke bottle' effect and severely distorts what you see through it
