Clean the glass. Use a clean cloth to clean the glass, making sure the glass becomes transparent and free of grit. Let the glass dry before treating the scratch.

Moisten the fine fiber cloth. Dip a lint-free cloth under warm running water. Squeeze the cloth so that the water no longer drips.
- Any debris on the fabric, including dirt and lint, will rub against the glass surface and create uneven friction or cause further scratches.

Squeeze some toothpaste onto the cloth. Squeeze a small amount of toothpaste with your little finger onto the cleaning cloth. It is best to be careful with the amount of toothpaste you use. You can add more toothpaste when treating the scratch afterwards. [1] X Research Source
- A white, non-gel, special toothpaste with baking soda is the best for removing scratches.

Clean the glass. Use a new, clean cloth and catch it under running water. Squeeze out the water and wipe the glass with a damp cloth once to keep it shiny.

Advice
- In some cases, you may need another person to hold the glass when handling scratches to prevent dropping or breaking the glass.
- This method cannot be applied to glasses that are coated or laminated with a thin film, including some eyeglasses. You will need to remove the film with a product like Armor Etch.
- If in doubt, consult the manufacturer’s instructions or a professional optician.
Warning
- Do not continuously rub the scratches. This will further damage the glass.
- If the scratch is as large as a fingernail or more, you should not treat it with the above methods. Consult a professional service manual for re-polishing or glass replacement.
Things you need
- Toothpaste is not gel, white color
- Baking soda or metal polish
- Lots of clean, soft cloths
- Water
How to use nail polish:
- Clear nail polish
- Paint brush
- Nail polish remover
