How to Remove Scratches from Glass: The Complete Professional Polishing Guide

Scratches on glass can be both unsightly and frustrating, affecting not only the appearance but also the clarity of the surface. Whether on windows, tables, mirrors, windscreens or screens, scratches make glass look dull and aged.
Fortunately, with Lux Metal products, you can effectively remove even deep scratches and restore the glass to its original shine and transparency.

Types of Scratches on Glass

Before starting any polishing work, it’s important to identify the type of scratch you’re dealing with.

Superficial scratches

These are fine marks that are barely visible or only noticeable when light hits the surface. They can be removed easily using a gentle polishing paste.

Moderate scratches

More visible and slightly rough to the touch, these require a specialised glass polishing compound such as Lux Metal Glass Polish 250 g — perfect for safe and effective restoration.

Deep scratches

These penetrate further into the surface and require a more intensive treatment using stronger abrasives and felt or cotton polishing wheels.

Step-by-Step: How to Remove Glass Scratches

1. Clean the surface

Always begin by cleaning the glass thoroughly with a neutral cleaner and a microfibre cloth. Removing dirt and dust prevents new scratches from forming during the polishing process.

2. Polish the scratches

Apply a small amount of Lux Metal Liquid Polishing Paste for Glass to a soft cloth or felt pad attached to a low-speed drill.
Work over the scratched area with slow, circular motions and light pressure.
For more pronounced scratches, use a stronger compound such as Lux Metal Glass Polish 1 kg — ideal for large surfaces or professional applications.

3. Final polishing

Once the scratches have been reduced or removed, finish the job with a solid glass polishing compound, such as those available in the Solid Glass Polishing Paste range.
This step brings back full transparency and a brilliant, mirror-like finish.
