If a man speaks in the middle of a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

Forget about "do it right the first time". Do it wrong the first time to learn how, then do it right the second time.

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.. It's used for one of the last step in polishing rocks. sprinkle some on a damp cloth rub the glass..
