i cleaned my cars windows with a razor blade/soapy water. I guess the blade was a bit dirty, so now, the glass has a ton of micro scratches in it. can i buff these out by hand with a product somehow ????

help, my glass is all fugged up !!!!!!!:nervous2:
 
It's hard to get scratches out of glass and to do it by hand would be almost impossible unless it isn't really scratched. You might try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and some window cleaner and hope they aren't really scratches.



If they are scratches then your only hope, short of glass replacement, is something like this:



Eastwood Co. - Glass Polishing Kit Pro



I'm not sure if any glass shops offer that service but you could call around and ask.
 
This won't help schybrid, but the whole episode brings up something that doesn't get mentioned here very often: Today's auto glass is very different from what auto glass used to be...now it's got a high non-glass component percentage and it's not all *that* hard. Stuff that used to work great isn't safe to do any more.



Regular razor blades are great for some jobs on some glass (just removed the NC inspection sticker from the Denali XL's windshield with one), but *plastic* razor blades really are a better tool for the job. Not as effective but a whole lot safer. This exact issue is one of the big reasons why companies like AutoInt sell them. And yeah, now I'm thinking that I shoulda used a plastic one even though it woulda taken longer :o
