they brought out some kind of two part
That stuff doesn't work for scratches or real small chips. I bet it will buff out OK if you can't catch it with your fingernail.

I bought the Eastwood Deep scratch removal kit and was messing around with it last week. They give you 3 different abrasive discs to choose from to sand off the scratch, then the powder for the second step to polish. I was using the most aggressive abrasive disc with a steady water stream to try to sand out the scratches for about 20 minutes on my quarter glass and It didnt really seem to do much except for making the area cloudy. Im assuming once I use the polish it will be clear again, but Im following the instructions, Im going to do it more this weekend, I just think it may take a long time.. the kit was about 80 bucks, and so far Im not sold on it.
Please let us know how it goes, I'm interested in doing this myself.....

We were at it again on the glass this last weekend. I may have gotten a little to aggressive with the sanding discs as I ended up putting swirl type scratches in a few spots that would not go away after further sanding. Having said that, I used the powder they supply, mixed it into a slurry and polished it out. It looked fantastic everywhere except for the small scratches that I made with the sanding discs and on the deep scratches, they were still visible but not as deep as you could no longer catch a nail on it. Im thinking that glass is too far gone now. On my remaining glass, I didnt bother to sand out any scratches, I just used the polish slurry and after doing both sides, aside from a few scratches that were there, the glass looks amazing. Id say its worth the time to polish out the glass, but if you are looking for deep scratches to disappear, not sure if thats possible. Its also possible that I wore out the sanding pads prematurely and possibly with more work I could get out the swirls, but at this point Im looking for another quarter glass for that side..

I'm wondering about how you can see throught a polished glass with Cerium oxide at nights and headlights from cars coming over... Thats my problem. Is becoming hard to drive to me on those momenbts ( on my both cars, 1975 Mercedes and 1974 Charger )
both got small wiper edges schratches, but even I'd like to fix that, is not my big problem
