Hi,

I doubt there is a solution (well one that I would like to use) for this
problem but I thought I would try asking as you never know.

We have some glass panelled internal doors (each made up of 15 bevelled
panes) courtesy of the previous owners. They are fairly nice doors so I
would rather not replace them. The problem is that the previous owners
weren't exactly great at DIY but did like to have a go. They have
stained and varnished the doors but managed to get it all over the glass
as well. They obviously didn't like it on the glass (and nor do I) so
rather than gently removing it with a Stanley knife blade (as I am
doing) it looks like they have gone at it with a screw driver. This, of
course, has resulted in the glass getting scratched to hell and back in
places. Is there any way of removing even the smaller scratches? I would
rather not take the panes of glass out if I can help.

Ah that's more like it. I have tried toothpaste and now have a window
that is minty fresh ) but not much improved.

I decided to try Astonish sink cleaner. I have always avoided using it
on glass because I thought it would be to abrasive but it turns out it
isn't. I managed to substantially improve one fairly large scratch with
about 15 minutes work using it but to do all four doors on both sides
would take forever by hand.
