Anyone know or have ever used Einszett Glass Polish?. Or you know a good product to remove small scratches on the glass?
Thanks

You cant, you can hide them. But anything more abrasive will just distort the glass.

I just use this, http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/engine-am ... d_348.html

Its amazing stuff. Never have to use my wipers.

polishing glass is a very specialist proccess, you would be better off replacing the glass.

I used to have an old impreza and they are notorious for scratched drivers and passenger windows. The rubber window guide gets worn / falls off and ends up scratching the glass every time you open and close the window. I asked an auto glass man what I could do and he said for side windows its not that bad to polish the glass. He said jewellers would often have suitable glass polish and I should look for a jewellery polish. I ended up selling that car not long after that and never tried to fix the glass so no idea if that works!

Think I'm going to try that. My wifes car is an estate octavia and i miss the rear windscreen wiper when I'm driving the coupe! It rains enough in this country to get the benefit of this.
