I have a cocktail cabinet that has some light scratches in the glass...is there any way I can get them out??
Is there some sort of rubbing compound that I could use for this...
Thanks...

Windows / Glass - Scratch Removal
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
by Travis Bradshaw
I am a professional window washer from Arizona. There have been a few times when I have arrived at a new customers home to find that construction crews or previous window washers have left scratches on the windows. I have found that the following method works well on very small scratches. For larger/deeper scratches the window will need to be resurfaced by a professional or replaced.
To remove scratches from glass / windows:
1) First wipe the class clean using a soft lint-free cloth.
Then smear toothpaste over the glass and make sure it completely covers the scratch.
2) Squeegee off any excess toothpaste with a new razor-blade.
Let the toothpaste dry thoroughly
3) Polish with a soft dry cloth
This will hide any small scratches in the glass and will save on a costly repair. For more information on window washing go to www.glasscleaningsystems.com

you can fix CDs with that method too, no lie, I've done it.
But what's this razor blade business?

There is a compound that is supposed to be able to get out very light scratches but the name of it escapes me right now. They say if you can feel the scratches with your fingernail though, that you will not be able to buff them out.

I have read exactly the same thing about the scratch filling product, and also can't remember its stupid name. >:(
I can verify that the toothpaste method is surprisingly useful. I've even used it (carefully) to fix scratches in softer materials like plastic watch faces, with no problems at all.
