Haven't tried it, but I have had pretty good luck hand buffing with just good old "Colgate" toothpaste for small light scratches.

Subject: [FWDLK] polishing glass scratches

I'm aware of the glass polishing kit from Eastwood for windshield scratches and that Gary Goers basically offers the same thing.  Its cerium oxide and a buff whether you buy it here or there.

 

But I found this on the internet advertised as the only stuff that can be used by hand and wondered if anyone has tried it.

Anyone?

 

Glass shops have told me on a vintage windshield they would rather not machine polish because the heat can crack that old glass and they don't want the liability.  I figure since they are supposed to know what they are doing, I'd probably stand a good chance of breaking a windshield if I go after some well-aged wiper scratches. 

 

Any feedback about this?
