Remove slight glass scratches on electric windows?

[s1exa]

Hi does anyone have any advice on how to get rid of light scratches on my passenger side window? There must be some grit in the seal and scratched the window when it's put down and up. Also best way to Tey get the grit out?

Not sure on the best way to get the grit out, but getting scratches out of glass isn't particularly easy.
You can buy kits that involve sanding and polishing them out.

For example (first one I pulled off Google):

There are loads of kits out there, I think 3M do one too.

We use micromesh at work. Takes forever and can leave some warp effect if not don't correctly

You need an orbital polisher, this pad http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=987 and this polish http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/engin...ealants/carpro-ceriglass-polish/prod_971.html

It will take time and loads of patience. The warp/distortion is from the heat, so keep checking to make sure the glass isn't getting too hot.

For polishing the scratches out as good as poss.
CarPro Ceriglass Kit

Preferably with a dual action polisher, and a Rayon pad for applying the polish.
Take it steady, do it twice or three times, keeping heat down, rather than just doing it heavy handed once, as the heat can distort the glass.

I did my 10 yr old Clio182 screen and after three sessions, one after the other, which was what 1.5 to 2.0 hr work, it looked like a new screen.

As Danger says, look at cleanyourcar for the Ceriglass kits
