as the title say's anybody out there had any success in removing the well known classic scratches caused by window guide. tried a few compounds but nothing really successful. anybody know of a cleaner/compound that work's.

 

I have these on my driver side window. Really irks me.

 

It's not really possible - If you do manage to remove the scratches with a machine polisher, then you will probably see the dip in the glass where you've been polishing, especially when looking at the reflection from the glass.

Been there, tried that

 

me to, tried jewelers rouge but did not shift it, only smoothed it slightly. it's the bane of classic scoob ownership the little felt pad on the door guide gets full of crap did replace pad but damage was done. hope somebody has some compound/cleaner they could suggest otherwise it's a new drivers side window.

 

im pretty sure ull never get scratches out a glass window like once its done its done

 

It's a feature, learn to love them

 

Indeed. I accept them as adding "character" (like an Impreza needs any more character!)

 

thank's fella's like like a new side window it is. don't need any more character on the scoob.

 

You can clean the window felts religiously but the scratches seem to be inevitable.

 

or disconnect the elecy window that'll cure it. if some one could cure it, they would be onto a fortune as i have seen so many classic scoobs with the dredded scratch on drivers side window.

 

Not just classics, got it on my 55 plate

 

Me too on my 53 plate Blobeye.

Is it worth just claiming it on insurance and paying the excess of £75 or will it just do it again?

 

Its on my blobeye windows too both front ones

 

 

+1

 

i did have some results using armon hammer toothpaste with a buffer some of the smaller marks will go but the deep ones are there to stay

 

Can you still buy the side windows new for the classic

 

^^^ Ditto.
