What is the most price efficient way (if whatever) to visually remove, or reduce as much every bit possible, scratches made on a tinted window inside of a motorcar? The machine is old, it does not matter if information technology'due south not perfect nor a permanent solution.

This was accidentally done with an ice scraper. This post seems to say that it's safe to do that, but it's really not! I'one thousand not attempting this with an ice scraper ever again.

  • Is merely the tint damaged?

  • Yep, only the interior. It was scratched with an ice scraper inside of the car, not outside. Promise information technology answers your question, tough I would understand if non. I cannot tell if the only thing that's scratched is the tint, merely I would very much believe then, since I've never scratched glass with an water ice scraper my unabridged life.

  • With a normal ice scraper, you'll never scratch glass ... they are just hard plastic and glass is ~six.v on the Mohs hardness calibration. Diamond is ten. Hardened steel is at vii to 8. Iron is iv-5. Plastic? Information technology doesn't say, only I'd put information technology somewhere between 2-2.v (at a gauge).

  • Have the tint off and leave it off @that-ben, tinting your forepart windows reduces visibility and is a safety event.

1 Answer 1

Try plastic wax sold at Wal-Mart for headlights it volition smooth out light scratches made in tint which is a film but will not assist where information technology is actually ripped torn or missing. Best bet is to re tint or diy with tint film you lot'll need a razor blade to trim edges some adhesive for tint and a card or plastic putty knife to smooth out ripples
