If they are deep scatches, you can only minimize them, try rubbing down compound but be very carefull

Another vote for Fewicks Windowwize here. We clipped a branch and it scratched our hab door and side window badly but this removed it and impossible to see it ever happened. A few people have posted helpful advice on YouTube.

For longer than I care to remember, I've always used jewellers rouge for removing scratches. Even if its difficult to find nowadays, its possible to make it at home with "schoolboy chemistry."

Available on tinternet easily but I would only use it on glass.

I wouldn’t use brasso as I think that has ammonia in it? T cut certainly does.

You can but very light cutting compounds that will do the job or specific products for plastics

Wasn’t there a thread some time ago giving details about scratched windows and sorting them out?

@Silver-Fox there are different grades available. Some are, as you suggest, not suitable for plastics. Normally, I would start with blue lubricated with WD-40, then go to maybe brown. It works a treat!

This post describes how I approached the problem last year. So far all has been well although I suggest you read the later posts in the thread giving some warnings about coated windows.

Whatever you do don’t use Solvol Autosolve. I didn’t have any brasso and thinking all polishes were the same I tried some on a large scratch. I now have a large scratch and a lot of smaller cloudy scratches. Doh.

Easiest to obtain ... toothpaste ... just some of the cheapo stuff will do the trick nicely, just gentle circular motions using a clean soft cloth and wash off ... our new Campscout had some scratches on the windows on one side where we think it was parked near a hedge/tree which rubbed against the windows, hubby's got them out with the toothpaste.

Just make sure you know the construction of the window before attacking it. Some have a coating and if you try polishing them you end up with a right mess.

I haven’t got any toothpaste, will Steradent do instead?
