God knows how but I've two scratches on the laminated sliding door window on the outside anyone know a safe way of polishing them out? I assume the tint is in the laminate but checking before I cock anything up, thanks!
Scratched window

@StudleyGlass or @VGC Ltd would prob know best when it comes to glass polishing
Are the scratches deep? Can you feel them if you run your nail across them or are the like a faint lines @Caravellet6 ?
Thin but deep enough I can feel them with my nails
What a pain!
Happened to our Cali in the drivers side window. Noticed it less than a week after getting it: no idea how they got there. Bugged me until I sold it!

Had a quick go with a fine scratch remove it's not so obvious but still there grrrr!
I am not a expert at glass scratch removal but in my experience it not easy if there deep (you can feel the scratch with your nail) all my glass damage gets recycled and replaced. there are glass polishing machines available, i have used them before. they are just polishing wheels with fine cutting paste (takes a lot of time) All you are doing is grinding the glass down until the mark has gone.
If you try some glass cutting paste you may be able to fade it enough not to bother you.

Will speak to my detailer he will give me a honest opinion if it can be polished out, in fact the van is a year old next month and due its annual makeover!
Thanks not sure they will agree it's a warranty claim, not sure when or how it happened!
My mother accidentally scratched a window of ours many years ago, she was using a screen wipe and allowed her engagement ring to slide round and the diamond caused the scratch, it was so distracting/annoying that one day... "a stone flew up from a recently dressed road" and it smashed so I had to get Autoglass out to replace it.... 
Have only put two subtle ones on the new van,its much more a sophisticated colour and doesn't need stickers to cover it

What are they then? Two large white vinyl wrap stickers that cover the van and make it look like a cool white van
Exactly. Arms like Popeye when you're finished.I have used this compound before with a big hand held polishing wheel and it does take for ever , got bored in the end

Hi. Polishing glass has become a much better science recently. Cerum Oxide is the choice of compound. As mentioned, if you can get your finger nail into it, then the risk of distortion increases. Where are you locatwd?
Hi @VGC Ltd I'm near Wakefield (home) or Leeds (work). Can just about catch it with a finger nail, reckon it will polish out or at least be less obvious with the right gear!
