Removing Scratches

Contrary to popular opinion, scratches on window glass surfaces can be removed. Even those that are deep enough to catch a fingernail.  There have been many machines developed over the years to accomplish this. But the professionals who perform this service use a combination of these, including their own hybrid systems. Simply because the different scratched glass problems out there are quite varied. There are scratches occurring in patterns at restaurants left by little greeny scouring pads. These are the easiest to remove. Hair line scratches from fabrication debris on tempered glass although rather light most times, can be very time consuming since it covers so much area. Deep grooves caused by diamond rings or broken beer bottles used by vandals are a much more intense problem. These can take upwards of five different steps to completely remove. And there can be some distortion. The bottom line is always time. If the amount of time required to remove the scratches demands a price that exceeds what is reasonable compared to replacement cost, such will preclude performing the service. The objective of the professional then is to choose a system and technique that will completely remove the scratches in the least amount of time possible. This is a highly specialized service. It is in fact a specialty type of glass restoration. Also included in glass restoration is the rejuvenation of etched glass surfaces, and the removal of mineral deposits. Meaning surfaces that have been damaged by hard water deposits. The grinding and or polishing procedure is used to accomplish all three services. Scratches, etched surfaces, and mineral deposits. I can deal with all three. But also have other specialists I can call in if necessary.

  1. Great, thank you for telling that the scratches can be removed from glasses. My two kids have made so many scratches that my windows look so ugly. Thank you.
