Polishing Glass

Postby CraigRTSE » 16 Aug 2007 23:12

I have some fine scratches in my side window glass. Nothing that catches my fingernail. I tried the kit from Eastwoods, but it didn't do a damn thing. Anyone ever do this w/success? Did you use a kit or something else?

The scratches may be too deep. Do you want new glass? E.C.S. now carries exact date coded glass. It's unfortunately, very expensive. Good luck, Eddie

Craig, I forgot to mention, I have a "contact" that is looking at his parts "cache" of 1970 Challenger Parts for any or all glass he has. You interested? :?:

Yes, I'd be interested in the side glass. Clear. No scratches or other damage.

Thanks for checking.
