I have some scratches in my back glass from when the covered parking fell on my car and was wondering if steel wool 0000 would be ok. I don't want to scratch my glass anymore and i figured steel wool is atleast worth a shot since its fairly inexpensive.

I had picked up a piece of glass on ebay but it never showed up and believed to be broken in shipping.

I also have some light scratches on my drivers side door and was hoping i might be able to get those out as well.

Please let me know thanks.

Ok, I used to recondition cars for awhile so I think I can offer some advice here. Depending on what kind of paint you have on your door, I would use a 2000 grit wet sand over the scratches and then buff with a light weight compound and buffer. The scratches in glass are tugh. I tried to rub out some scratches in a Dodge Dakota windsheild once and ended up with a sore elbow and nothing more. The scratches never lightened. Best of luck with the glass. graemlins/beers.gif

For the glass you may check eastwood, as I recall they have a glass polishing/resto kit I've been eager to try.

Brandon I have this kit and it works pretty well if the scratches are not too deep. Rule of thumb is, if you can feel the scratch with your finger nail, it probably will not rub out. However, I had a long deep scratch in my rear glass and I got 80% of it off and made it WAY less noticable. I fixed my passengers side glass too. Does a great job.
I used a cordless drill on low and it worked great. No exess heat and did not sling the compound everywhere.

Be careful with the glass buffer from Eastwood. I have read in this forum that if you buff too much in one area you could actually cause waves in the glass in other words low spots which would make the glass look wavy.
