I once helped a friend move and her bicycle handle bar scratched my rear glass.
A glass shop told me tooth paste would help the scratch. I polished the glass with the tooth paste and the scratch was able to be removed. |

I had looked into this a while back. I heard that the scratch(es) can only be removed if you run your finger nail over it and can't feel a depression. The compound you need to buff them out, or I should say the stuff thats in the eastwood kit, is cerium oxide. There's a 50/50 chance that a local automotive glass shop will have some. Might want to get out your phone book and make some calls. Good luck.

I saw some glass polish (don't know if it is the same thing) at the local Novus glass repair shop. It was a complete kit for about $10

IV used tooth past before works very good on fine ones.

Cerium Oxide. You can get some of it at a gem / rock shop..
