Anyway to remove scratches in glass?

[menace]

Just curious--I've used plastic polish for plexi and whatnot but have never come across something that will let you buff out scratches in glass?  Anyone have any products they can recommend?

I had a large X scratched into my monitor glass when I bought a cab.  I tried filling it with a windshield repair kit, but it didn't work.  I simply flipped the glass around so the scratch was facing inward, and it vanished.  Of course, it was smoked glass.

Menace, you need cerium oxide powder or paste. A local glass shop could probably tell you how to use it and what kind of buffing pad you need ect.. This place has it in powder form.http://www.gotgrit.com/default.php/cPath/14_9

There is some kind of stuff with a honey-consistancy that people use to fill scratches.  Filling the scratch with this stuff (which has the same refractivity of glass) means you don't notice the light splitting over the angles of the scratch. 

I can't remember the name of the stuff but it's a 2-word name that's something like "balsam-something" or "alum-something" or "monkey-balm" or something like that (okay, it's NOT monkey-balm).   I found it mentioned in a couple Google Group threads where people were trying to fix scratches in their monitors.   Most of the threads talk about unsuccessfully using windshield or CD scratch repair kits, but two of them have brief mentions of this stuff.

Don't know if that helps or not
