Any of you guys got a solution for reducing scratches on side windows? I don't mind being a bit brutal if needs be to get the job done, I've just wet sanded a bonnet to get rid of etching.

I've got a similar problem on my windscreen, historic wiper marks, tried toothpaste etc. so would also be interested in some other suggestions

if you can feel it with your nail then DIY will not work I tried the glass kits you can buy did not work so I got a professional company that removes scratches from bus/ lorry screens they said it could take all day to do and quoted £500 :?

in the end insurance paid from the screen and I fitted new side glass that only cost me £20 each side from a windscreen shop that had them instock amazingly :D

.... or nip down to your local glazier and get hold of some of the glass polishing powder they use to finish off bevelled edges n'stuff ....

Was that £20 a side a special price to clear new old stock? At that price it's not even worth messing about trying to sort the old glass!
