If you can feel the scratches with your fingernail, they are probably too deep to correct.

If the tinter is scratching the OUTSIDE of the glass during the tinting procedure then something is DRASTICALLY wrong....do not go to that tinter any longer..

More likely is that you had the scratches there already and dark background of the tint just makes them show up...

I really never thought about that. Like you said the tint just made everything show up more on the glass. Because I had my old firebird done at a place and my camaro at another and it seems to have the same scratches. There very light you cannot feel them with or without your fingernail. I was just hoping there was a product that would smooth out those - Mike

I talked to a friend of mine (he does paint work) about this same question because the previous owner of my car went alittle too long without changing the wiper blades, and ended up scratching the windshield. If you use a very strong buffing compound, it'll take them out. I'm not sure exactly how he worded it, but he basically said that because glass is made of sand anyway, the sand in the compound fills in the scratches and fixes them.

Our Zaino Z-12 Glass Polish works very well for light scratches..
