Removing Scratch From Vinyl Windows

A.W.Davis

One of my tile subs scratched a new vinyl window I installed in a bathroom remodel I am working on.

Is there any way to get the scratch out without seriously damaging the rest of the vinyl on the window.....like a buffer of some type?

How big is the scratch? Maybe some of that stuff that they make for eyeglasses if it's small.

Its probably 6" long and isnt terribly deep, its just a minor surface scratch.

I will have to look into the eyeglass cleaner stuff.

There is also stuff for aircraft canopies. Don't know much about it, I just paid the guy to fix it. May be the same stuff.

try rubbing it down with a little denatured alcohol.

Is this one of the vinyl glass block windows (windows made of plastic)? Or is the window glass and the frame vinyl? I have fixed scratches on the plastic blocks using rubbing compound followed by polishing compound, the same as you get at an automotive store. I recently bought some HUT Ultra Gloss Plastic Polish. Haven't tried it yet but says it removes scratches and polishes Corian, synthetic marble, Plexiglass and Formica. Bought it at Woodcraft store and was $10 for 8 oz bottle.

Google Surface Specialists. They are all over the country EXCEPT where you are. Sorry. Give one of them a call and maybe they can lead you in the right direction. I have used them for about 10 years and they can fix a lot of abuse from subcontractors.
