I don,t think they cold be buffed out but you might see about an auto glass shop that fixes window cracks and see if they have any window puddy like stuff they could put in there to get rid of the scratches. Good luck with it.

there are glass polishing kits available, but most say they only handle scratches that can't be felt by running your fingernail across the scratches...

Eastwood sells a kit. Spike TV's "Muscle Car" used it to polish the scratches out of the windshield of their Project Red Sled (an early 60s Impala).

I work for a glass shop as a windsheild tech. If you can feel the scrathes it cannot be repaired. If they are scuff's then you can buff it using jewelers rouge and alot of water, they are harder to buff then a windsheild because they are tempered, and tempered glass is harder then your windsheild. For what those door windows are worth it is better of to buy new.

HIO Silver,
I caught the tail end of that show, I wasn'rt sure if that was plastic or glass, I will look into it a little further.

Thanks for all the feed back everyone

Dan
