Special compositions for removing damage from glass units
When choosing a product to remove damage from glass, you should give preference to compositions without large abrasive particles .
You should not use polishes that need to be applied using a grinding machine; window glass will not withstand such treatment and will burst. Only those compositions that can be used manually are suitable.
If the scratches are small, you can use optical polishes. They will fill the recesses, making the glass appear as if it were brand new. However, after washing the window, the effect will disappear and the procedure must be repeated again.
Abrasive polishes remove scratches, but must be used carefully.
