Getting Rid of Minor Scratches on Glass

While fixing deep scratches on glass requires the help of professionals, you can actually get rid of minor scratches on your windows and glass doors yourself. Below is a quick overview of how to remove scratches from glass, or you can click here for detailed instructions.

1. Carefully buff the affected glass with Jewelers Rouge (cerium oxide) on a polishing pad;
2. Spray the scratched area with a mixture of ½ ounce ammonia and 2 cups water;
3. Wipe with a lint-free cloth or paper towel; and
4. Repeat the previous steps if the scratch is still obvious.

If, on your third attempt, the scratch is still prominent, you might need to call in a professional to help you.  This will prevent you from making the problem worse or causing the glass to accidentally break, especially when buffing.
