Hello what do you recomend for removing a scratch in a piece of artglass ?

Was very sceptical of the claims here. And rightly so. NONE of them work of course. Even superficial scratches remain after trying ALL the methods indicated.

I’m 63 do you think I will die before I polish the scratches out

Usually, these miracle fixes on internet NEVER work. Dang! Yours did! Arm and Hammer toothpaste with baking soda got rid of some horrible scratches in some almost new windows. You're a life saver! Thanks so much! :)

Wow!! I had housecleaners in today, who have always done a great job, and when they left I noticed not a smudge, but a scratch on my bathroom mirror! I was pretty upset. I just went in and tried the first solution, a bit of toothpaste on a microfiber towel, rubbed for about 20 seconds, and it was gone. I can't see it at all anymore. I am THRILLED. Thank you so much! Just for anyone's information, I used my nanohydroxyapatite toothpaste, originally developed by NASA, as I understand, and the first thing it does in your mouth is heal cracks. I know it's worked in my mouth to heal tiny fractures in my teeth, so I'm not surprised it worked on my mirror.

Lies...

Having had some experience polishing some glass I will say that most of the 'scratches' that people want to remove can't be. Especially if it's deep enough to catch your fingernail on. You're not going to 'polish' away that much glass. In most cases what you're able to do is 'obscure' the scratch by smoothing out or polishing the rough peaks in the 'channel' or valley of the scratch so it won't refract the light. I use jewelers rouge sometimes and it also depends how hard or soft the glass is. Unless you use a machine polisher, with these light abrasives by hand you'll be working on it a while, which is safe but tedious.

Yes, the deeper the scratches the more difficult to remove (well the more time it takes to polish in fact). It sounds superficial, so give it a try. Just be careful to often check for progress as your work and not overdo it (or just like the sponge, you may create more scratches). Good luck!

Use the silicone dioxide abrasive stuff with a rotary polisher and a foam polishing pad.Auto detailers do this all the time.

Hello Will it work on black glass?

Hey I'm trying to clean old fish tank glass from a broken tank. It's been sitting a while. I took tooth paste and actually added baking soda and went with a actual buffer pad since I'm cleaning a few feet worth of semi deep scratches. I see you are able to get some similar depth scratches out with just a cloth. Are scratches easier to get out of certain types of glass? Like tempered VS non tempered? Low iron, or regular, etc? I'm having a heck of a time hah. Needed a break 45m with the buffer didn't make a dent... I'll try the steel wool method haven't tried that yet. Thanks for the tips and possibly direction on what I may be doing wrong or a more aggressive method if my scratches are deeper than I think. Not sure what constitutes a "deep" scratch.

@TheLabOtomy

3 жыл бұрын

A deep scratch is one that catches the nail. The thing with glass is that all scratches can be removed, BUT the deeper scratch, the longer it takes (and yes sometimes, that will be hours... or minutes long with a rotating tools with pro-compound but the risk of cupping the material and weakening a spot). The glass is extremely hard and we have to rub it with something really really gentle... like sanding a wooden board with 4000 grit sandpaper... good luck!

Not sure what density the glass you are working on. My glasses are a high quality glass for reading. And I had best results for repair with a clear filler. Toothpaste, sodium bicarbonate, ceramic glass cooktop cleaners, glass polish, headlight lens polish kits that brillo pad, and jewelry cleaner is for soft precious metals. I have windshield polishing powder for a drill but would be challenging for a lens but could be doable. The methods you had successfully used didn't work in my case. But if whoever can use them great. I'll be using the filler for my glasses til they break.
