Can scratched glass be repaired?
Typically, scratches in glass are the result of debris during construction or dirt on the glass. If care is not taken to lightly flush and remove the debris it could etch the glass surface resulting in a scratch. We don’t offer or manufacture a product to remove glass scratches but there are companies that manufacture polishing compounds that remove scuffs, light scratches and deposits on glass that can’t be cleaned with regular washing. As a guideline, if the scratch is deep enough to catch the edge of a fingernail, it’s too deep to remove. Sommer and Maca Industries offer a product called Rare Earth which is a cleaning compound for glass. You can purchase Rare Earth from many glass suppliers, or directly from Sommer and Maca Industries’ sales department (1-800-323-9200 or 1-708-863-5446.) Follow directions carefully and heed all product warnings. We are not responsible for damage caused by misuse of cerium oxide or other damage that could happen in trying to remove scratches.
