    Removing light scratches off glass. ; (

    Help. Previous owner had some really dark tint on my coupe. Yesterday,I decided to give it the clean look and remove it. The film left some goo residue on mostly all the windows.

    I took some simple green and a scouring sponge to the job and the occasional razor blade. Now I have millions of light scratches on the window.. FML. I should have waited on goo gone.

    Is there some sort of polish I can use to remove them?

    Thanks in advance.

    The glue is not water soluble. You found that out the hard way.

    You can try a mild polish (not one for shine) with diminishing abrasives.
    First by hand and if not good enough, use a random orbital.

    I've actually been able to do a windshield with Klasse AIO and orange pad with decent results although, AIO is a paint cleaner.

    Start out with the mildest polish and pad combo, so as not to introduce more scratching. Then move up in aggressiveness, if not satisfactory.
    Always do a test section, obviously.
