Can anyone recommend a glass scratch removal and polish system that I can use with my HF polisher. Got a couple of scratches in the glass and in general would like to polish it up...

Thanks.

I believe J.C. Whitney still carries a glass scratch removal system. I still have mine. It consists of a really hard felt wheel that fits into a drill. You use this with the cerium oxide (not sure about that spelling) powder and water to buff out the scratches. It does a great job but you have to be careful when polishing out glass because 1. You can over heat it and crack the glass and 2. You can turn the glass into a "carnival mirror" wave effect causing distortion. I don't know of any glass polishing system that works with a regular automotive grade buffer.

Last time I checked, Whitney still had them and about 1/2 the price of some other sources.
