    It works on glass if it’s not too deep. Kind like when you use one of those headlight restore kits to remove the yellow film. First you use the provided sanding disc, then the buffing wheel and polish. We used to use rubbing compound with a high speed buffer (a real buffer not one of those orbital things) on glass back in the 80’s at a body shop I worked at; you would be surprised what you can do with a good cutting agent and polish.

    LOL, explains why you don't have a credit card in your wallet to use as an ice scraper.

    I clay, compound, polish my glass- mainly before putting a coating. I’ll have to start doing that since I got some gtechniq glass coating but it’s been too cold and not top priority when it’s not

    Do you notice any differences when doing that? By hand or using a DA or ?

    This with a soft foam pad and a random orbital polisher. If done by hand it'll take years...

    If the scratches in glass are really awful you need cerium oxide...

    I did a similar thing to my Ruger LCP. When I first got it years ago I could rack the slide very easily. Father time has crept in though and it got very difficult to rack the slide on the little pistol. A company called ArachniGRIP makes some 3M sticky pads with material similar to Bedliner paint that fits in the grooves of the slide. Man does it make it so much easier to rack the slide now.

    It wasn’t exactly a “rock”. It looks like this so I was into it. image.jpgimage.jpg Yeah. It was really dumb. But the scratches are light. But I’ll see them every time I get in my truck as a reminder about being a dumbass and the malleability of plastic.
