I just purchased a new outdoor patio table. Thought I was getting rippled glass but it came as a plain tempered glass top. I’ve had it for 3 days, and it already has some light scratches in it from very minimal use. Is there anything I can do to remove these scratches? I’ve googled toothpaste and metal polish, and I’m hesitant to use that since they’re abrasives. I’d sure appreciate your advice. __________________________ "Trust, but verify." | ||

Wax furniture polish. The scratches don’t go away but they will be almost invisible. Or exchange the plain glass for rippled glass. Were you promised rippled glass? Maybe some leverage for negotiation? ____________________________ "Fear is a Reaction - Courage is a Decision.” - Winston Spencer Churchill NRA Life Member - Adorable Deplorable Garbage | |||

Maybe Rain X will provide some protection and cover up the scratches. https://www.amazon.com/RainX-8...SSE3X4Q4S4T9JRHDQ5Z0 They also have this cleaner which I have not used: https://www.amazon.com/Rain-X-..._product_top?ie=UTF8 41 | |||

Paint the bottom if the glass white. You can paint it with just about any paint, as it has the thickness if the glass as a clear coat. It will be a shiny white table. And you’ll never see the scratches because it’s white. The “lol” thread | |||

Or have it etched/media blasted to a frosted finish on bottom. It might look better than the white paint and you can have it done in various patterns. "the meaning of life, is to give life meaning" ✡ Ani Yehudi אני יהודי Le'olam lo shuv לעולם לא שוב! | |||

Non-lemon Pledge is the solution. Can be hard to find now days, but it's out there. The lemon Pledge leaves a little tint that the plain doesn't. You'll be surprised at the result.

One of the used car lots here used Mother's clay bars to polish scratched windows. | |||

You can polish glass same as steel or car finishes. So car polish and a buffer, compound for deeper scratches, and wet/dry sand paper for even deeper. It's just comes down to how much effort do you want to put into it. Here is a video to what I'm talking about. First In Last Out | |||

I think the stuff to polish glass with is Cerium Oxide. Saw it on Amazon. I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. -Ecclesiastes 9:11 ...But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by Him shall glory, but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. - Psalm 63:11 [excerpted] | |||
