Glass scratch remover
Can anyone recommend a good product and method for removing light scratches from windscreen glass, caused by green scotchbrite?

None sorry - I used it on a Volvo windscreen - bought a scrap one and discoverd that, after fitting it and cleaning the crap off it it was badly scratched/scored, looked like they had used the windscreen wipers a lot without any rubbers in them
Bought a couple of tubes and a polisher to stick on the B&D. Took a couple of hours but the results were perfect. Still have one tube in the cupboard, ten years down the line
We use jewellers rouge at work but it isn't anything I have been involved with and I'm currently off work. Makes a hell of a mess!

What is it for Mike?A very fine powder of ferric oxide is known as jeweler's rouge, red rouge, or simply rouge. It is used to put the final polish on metallic jewelry and lenses, and historically as a cosmetic.
Rouge cuts more slowly than some modern polishes, such as cerium(IV) oxide, but is still used in optics fabrication and by jewelers for the superior finish it can produce. When polishing gold, the rouge slightly stains the gold, which contributes to the appearance of the finished piece. Rouge is sold as a powder, paste, laced on polishing cloths, or solid bar (with a wax or grease binder). Other polishing compounds are also often called "rouge", even when they do not contain iron oxide. Jewelers remove the residual rouge on jewelry by use of ultrasonic cleaning.

Thanks for the tip I didn't know about this product.myglaren wrote:I have used Autosol with a high degree of success.
I have caused some scratches on my Xantia's left headlight while trying to get rid of the remains of an insect.
I made a quick search for Autosol in YouTube and found good demonstrations.
Here's one sample --> Cleaning a headlight using Autosol polish by ThePolishGuy1.
