Glass help

I live in Massachusetts and I'm looking for someone local that can remove scratches from my side windows. Looks like some jealous person used a diamond ring to etch a scratch in each side. Noticeable and one is deeper than the other. Any suggestions?

I tried to buff out scratches in my side windows using special polishing discs made specifically for glass. The first window had some pretty deep scratches so I started with too course grit and ruined the glass. I tried another window using a high grade grit but couldn't get the scratches out, and then I applied too much pressure and damaged another window. I called a local glass company and they told me it was nearly impossible to remove deep scratches. In the end, I gave up on polishing and bought new side window glass from Auto City Classics.

That's what I'm afraid of. They make it look so easy on Youtube DIY videos. I'd end up in the same situation as you did. Problem is with replacing them, they are original as is most of the car so really don't want to replace. Thanks

You can try, but if a little deep, you will probably have no susses. I have tried also little luck.
