All depends how bad the scratch/s are mate

I use Autoglym Super Resin Polish on my windows and it removes that slight hazing you get like swirl marks and the view out the window is crystal clear

Might be worth a shot mate

Pretty sure you can, although I've not used it myself and I'm unsure of the name of the stuff.

I'm about as much use as garry glitters passport, sorry!

does this go for all types of glass?

my mk1 astra has the old type windscreen, not a 2 layer (laminated) one, just hardend glass.

my mk1 astra has the old type windscreen, not a 2 layer (laminated) one, just hardend glass.according to that guide i read it should be even easier as you dont have to worry about the heat generated.



so is it a case of you need specific glass polish to remove the scratches or would anything work

Ground pomice stone, a windsreen company gave me some long time ago to do my cav once but never got round to it. They said at the time that it sorted out the scratches, they did alot of police motors.
