Thumbs up

Best products to use are 3M Micro Abrasives. Used wet they are very effective at removing glass scratches. Its a 3 step process using either a belt or orbital sanding machine....takes a bit of time but produces the right result....Ive done a few demos with this system at customers recently...only problem I forsee is the tint..its virtually impossible to remove the scratches and leave the tint in place...If your interested I'll mail you a leaflet showing the products and steps required and you could try a local 3M distributor for the gear.. hope this helps.....cheers

If the scratches are not too deep, you could try T-cut or Brasso but it will take some time to remove the scratches.

Does anyone know how to remove scratches from my rear door window, i only noticed it after i tinted a few days ago.
I've tried Halfords but they only got glass cleaners and nothing else.
anyone tried the halfords windscreen repair pack.if so please advise on the results.
