tks guys..If you are wanting to remove scratches one might use Ceriglass to remove scratches. They make glass polishing pads too for scratch removal.

Most of the time I clay the window and simply polish with a white pad. Follow that with a window cleaner maybe... some eraser... coat it and forget it.

Others will chime in.

I normally use a Megs microfiber cutting pad as it cuts through the film quicker than a foam pad and I don’t have to worry about sling with proper pad prep.

tks guys..
if using a flex 3401 da.. am I looking at topside speed setting of 5.. or amp up to 6..

using a white LC force hybrid pad … -

does WG glass polish require a 6 pass method like their paint polishes.. or just polish until you are satisfied with results.

I have not tried to remove those types of scratches, but from what ive read ..ie..tinting windows /tool scratches in glass..if you can catch the scratch with your fingernail.. not removable scratches...
