Scratch Repair?

[marcingo]

Sorry I wasnt sure where to put this question.

Has anyone heard of scratch removal on glass- I know when I used to watch late night infomercials they had stuff that would repair scratches on glass lenses (for eyes). Then I typed in glass scratch removal on google and it said there is a product however Im not too sure how well it works and whether its reef safe (it says it becomes activated with water). Other than that anyone heard of a way to fix minor scratches in glass

By the way the latter product claimed it could fix scratches on any glass including tempered.

Any thoughts

All you can do is replace the glass.I looked into it pretty good even asked a windshield place

It works great...just requires a little elbow greese....Depending on the size of the tank and how it's installed it might not be fesable to replace a pain of glass!!

well replacing probably wont be worth it since all three viewing panes have small surface scratches (kind of visible with no water in the tank, dont know if its visible when there is water in the tank). That cerium oxide sounds like good idea. I just want to make sure I dont make more scratches.

Basically what it does is "grind" off a very thin layer of the glass but since the "Grit" is almost microscopic it leaves a perfect finish
