Other 70 Problem: - Scratched rear screen

Model flyer · Jun 20th, 2007, 15:06

Hi I have a V70 phase two .the rear wiper blade was allowed ,by the previous keeper, to scratch an arc on the rear screen near the spindle . Although its not visible when driving I'd like to polish it out . Has any one used any of the DIY glass polishing kits avialable and if so what results were obtained ? I'd apprieciate any comment or ideas as I dont really want to change the screen.

Regards

I brought a black and Decker sanding mouse for home use, with it comes a glass sanding pad, so after a little light work i removed a stain i had on my old MK1 Escort rear screen, hope it helps

Thanks nutco, The rear screen is actually scratched and will need some sort of abasive to remove the marks.

Thanks

Phil

Phil,
The B & D glass pad is like using fine wet & dry paper, so should do the job for you

I know this might sound daft but, here goes, have you tried Brasso ?
I know it's a metal polish but it is also excellent for removing small scratched from glass.

It takes a fair amount of time to polish scratches out of glass.
A charming local inbred decided to stuff a piece of barbedwire in a car wash brush near us which left us with a new wing, sprayed bonnet & scratched screen.

I used some glass cutting compound (looks and smells like T cut). Stick with it , it can be done
