For this step you’ll need either a buffing wheel or an orbital sander. Chances are you don’t have this equipment at home. Unless you think you’ll use them for other things, you might as well skip this step and call a professional (see step D).

If you decide to carry on, you’ll need to buy a commercial buffing compound that is specially designed to remove scratches or polish metals. Some examples of these are cerium oxide and jeweler’s rouge. If you choose to buy/use an orbital sander, fit it with a soft cloth.

Polish the scratched glass with the tool of your choice. Make sure the compound you used doesn’t dry out, or it will create more scratches. You can keep it moist by squeezing out a bit of water from a wet sponge on the area you’re polishing. The process might take several minutes, after which you should clean the polished area using a soft brush and liquid dish soap. You can repeat the whole process as needed.
