Hi. Other than replacing the entire pane of glass, does anyone have
products or methods they use to repair scratches in glass? The scratch is
not able to be felt with my fingernail, so I think if there is a polishing
compound or something like that it might work. Thanks for any ideas.

Greetings,

I once purchased a car where the windshield wipers had been neglected
and the clips had scratched a large arch in the car windshield causing
it to fail inspection. I paid a man $10 to fix it but I don't know
what he did. You might try calling around for how to fix a scratched
windshield.

Hope this helps,
William

they used to sell kits at auto supply stores for this purpose.
haven't noticed lately if they still do.

What you need is this glass polishing kit from JC Whitney:

It's just cerium oxide polish and a hard felt buff....Those things
haven't changed much in a long time....

A bit pricey, but I got one earlier this year to remove some "windshield
blade" scratches from the kid's car and it worked "slicker than snot on
a brass doorknob".

You need an electric srill of course...

HTH,

Jeff

Thanks guys. This scratch is in a window pane in my shed, so would the
windshield repair kit, or the glass polishing kit from jc whitney work the
same even though it isn't a windshield?

Thanks.

Cerium oxide and a hard felt wheel (like others have said) is what
glassworkers use to polish beveled glass etc. However, window glass may be
harder than 1/4" plate glass and may be harder than windshield glass. I
have attempted in the past to polish out a scratch in window glass without
very good results. I have also polished beveled glass and it turned out
perfect.

How big of a window are we talking about? It might be easier just to
replace the glass.
