Hey Moparts Community!!!
I have what I can see and tell is swirl marks on my glass, it's on the outside for sure. It appears to be that someone has tried to use a wheel and compound to get hard water spots off the glass. and has pardon my french F***ed up all the glass. is there a way to somehow get this out so the glass doesn't have this hazy look to it.

or am i going to have to replace all the glass just like all the other small details I am trying to correct on the car.

thanks for the advice. I tried to take a picture, but it doesn't show up in photos.


Thank you
Kiddart

Sounds like somebody incorrectly used a glass polishing kit. The trick with these is to never let the polishing disc go dry, keep the abrasive wet wheel wet. Lots of YouTube videos.

I will order and give it a try, I think the trick to fixing is keeping the compound wet.

I will keep you all posted on my results.


Thank you

Could also be the glass was dirty and all they did was grind that dirt against the glass.
I've used a buffing wheel over glass plenty of times without scratching it, but everything was clean.
Ironically, that won't work to get rid of scratches, but like paint, it can sure install them.
