I used to have a SuperGlass Windshield Repair (NO replace, just repairs) franchise. You can sand and polish out scratches on the windshield but you BETTER know what you're doing or else you'll add new scratches. If it is side door windows, they are tempered glass and extremely hard to sand and polish out scratches. But it can be done. It all depends on the type of glass it is. I sanded on a Chrysler 300 windshield for hours after the guys wife took a green pot scrubber to it to remove love bugs. I found out the hard way the windshield glass has metal bits imbedded to harden the glass and the more I sanded the more it resisted. I ended up having to replace the guys windshield. It was expensive. I know of no application of polish only that will remove scratches from glass. Depending on your location, there are SuperGlass Windshield Repair franchisees all over the country who could help. Look them up on the internet. (Disclaimer, I am NO LONGER a franchisee.) Forgot to add, I charged $100 per hour to repair scratches. From the looks of your picture, there are a lot of scratches, which means it will take a few hours to sand and polish.

Yeah, they are some junkyard door glass, thought I might try sprucing them up and possibly use! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can. They'll be shiny but the scratches and glass etchings will still be there. Low_Kuntree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 falcaineer Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Adam's doesn't have a glass polish, at least not yet. You'll have to look at a dedicated product, which I think others on here have talked about before. Adding @shane@detailedreflections and @mc2hill to see what they can add...

Thanks for the mention Chris. Sounds like we have an SME (Subject Matter Expert) in @SgtLip! But to add to this, yes you can polish glass, but temper your expectations. And as Donald said, you can make it worse. It takes a special tools and polishes to tackle glass, and you can make it wavier than when you started.

0 Low_Kuntree Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 What's best for etched water spots on glass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 SgtLip Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 There is a glass polish you can get and it will polish out pretty easy. I used to use it more on Shower Glassdoors then I did on automobiles. Unfortunately I only know of the polish the parent company provided that we used to polish with. You can go online and find a Superglass Windshield Franchisee in your area and see if he would sell you some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 RayS Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 If the correcting polish doesn't work, you can try #0000 steel wool, just make sure you don't grab anything more aggressive by mistake. Low_Kuntree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For water spots on glass you can use our Orange pad & CP it will get them removed. Low_Kuntree and SgtLip 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're stirring up the memories. I used an alcohol wipe to completely clean the glass before introducing the polish and pad to a dirty worksite. Now that you mention it, I used the Orange pad as well. I had forgotten that part. I also think I finished with a black pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
