Buffing out scratches in mineral glass

[johnniet]

Well, we all know the difference between "resistant" and "proof"...and "scratch-resistant" glass does scratch. What kind of paste/polish would you guys recommend for it? What have you tried?

 

[johnniet]

Any ideas at all? Flitz? Autosol?

I have had the best luck with toothpaste. Seriously.

You can buy pastes for polishing scratches out of old car windshields. I can't remember the brand names. I don't know why it wouldn't work, but I would want to practice on something I didn't care too much about.

I haven't done this first-hand. I've polished gemstones before, and we did that with soft leather that's been charged with that green chrome polish. I know going that route definitely won't be too rough on the glass, it's as fine a finish as I know how to get. The only question is whether it's too fine to buff your scratch out.
