7tonemonte Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 What grit sandpaper did they tell you to use? Step the grit to something higher, and try it again. Ive never had much success with that stuff, but you might be having an issue due to using too coarse a paper
cny first gen 71 Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 I talked to a glass place and the same rule of thumb applies for glass as paint scratches of you can run your fingernail accross it and feel it its to deep to get out I tried wet sanding and it didnt work I had a det ta deet monent when sanding on mine near the rear window now I have to live with it or change the window, Ill live with it for now.
rollin 72 monte Posted July 6, 2011 Author Posted July 6, 2011 yeah they where to deep i started with 500 and worked my way up and no success so now i need a pass. quarter window if and body has one lying around pm me how much you want for it
KWick_70MC Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 How big is the scratches?? sand blasted some MC emblems into a guys 84 MCSS years ago with a Knight emblem I made on an overhead projector. (pre computer age.. haha) The emblem may cover up the scratches, and would look good in the window, if you don't like it you can still replace the window..
