How to Remove Scratches From Window Glass Using 3M Car Polish

Scratches, dings and dents are commonplace when it comes to cars. Flying debris on highways, careless people who park their cars next to you and accidents all may result in damage to the body or windows of your car. Surface scratches to your glass windshield may be eliminated using a car polish and mark remover produced by 3M. Car polishes may be purchased from most automotive stores and can save you a costly trip to a glass and auto body specialist.

Things You'll Need

  • Paper towel
  • Soft cloth (flannel)
  • Take a paper towel and fold it in half. Fold the paper towel in half two more times so that you have a thick piece of toweling to work with.

  • Apply 3M car polish to the folded paper towel. Pour an amount equal to the size of a dime into the center of the paper towel. The thickness of the towel will help absorb the polish without it soaking all the way through.

  • Apply the polish to the scratches on the window. Rub in a counterclockwise motion, working the polish into the scratch. Reapply the polish to the paper towel and continue to work it into the scratches until you have completely covered the area.

  • Rub the area using a soft cloth to work the polish into the scratches. Flannel, or similar soft cotton, works best. Use a back-and-forth motion and apply pressure as needed.

  • Buff the area using a new soft cloth. Use a fast clockwise or back-and-forth motion. The buffing motion provides the final shine to the glass.
