no. it'll be far easier, cheaper, and safer to replace the glass.

Depends on what type of door (fixed glass vs inserts) and how much elbow
grease
the OP is willing to put into the effort.

well, yeah, except i've had dogs completely frost a panel of glass. it was
FAR easier and faster to replace it, as the woodworking had to be done
anyway since the dog scratched and destroyed it too. the amount of work to
polish a square foot of glass, not to mention that it wouldn't ever be clear
and non-wavy again, and the woodwork involved would have been FAR more than
just replacing the entire door, ime.

Then you have the advantage of me. I've only done windshields, and none to
recently either.

If the damage to the OP's door is anywhere near what you describe I second your
recommendation of replacement of refinishing.

Best,

Marc
