Eric and Gus,

This post is for the glass scratch repair experiment. You'll see below, my before and "during" pictures... there is no after, because I decided to spend the $100 for a new window. My findings are, that if your finger nail catches across the scratch, it's too deep to fix with the kit. My scratch was too deep. But, it is repairable. I sourced some diamond pads, which range in grit from 50 to 3000... I used the 200 grit to grind down low enough to remove the scratch. (That took four hours!) It'll take another four hours to slowly go up in grit through 3000, and then use the polish in the kit to make it look brand new. Well, I assume so... Therefore, 8+ hours is not worth my time to fix this. So, I bought the glass. I'll most likely be doing the same for my passenger door window. But, that can done any time in the future.

Hey Mike, you gave it the old college try. Kudo's. But yeah, 8 hours is a bit much. Good call. I have some shallow scratches from a sanding wheel or d/a on the rear roll up windows from an overzealous body guy when the car was painted back in the 90's so I may get lucky since they are quite shallow. Thanks a bunch for the progress report.. Much appreciated.

You getting any sleep or has the little guy settled down a bit??
