And GOI paste: three quick and cheap ways to remove scratches from car windows

Glasses of modern cars are now made "soft". And drivers suffer greatly from this, because the windshield is instantly covered with small scratches from the wiper blades. Road dust with sand also contributes, mercilessly bombarding the glass. The AutoView portal offers quick and cheap ways to get rid of scratches.

“Soft” glass is, if you like, a modern trend. So the manufacturer saves and arguing with this fact is stupid. It is much more useful to know how to remove minor scratches from glass without tangible consequences for your own wallet. And you need to do this, because they greatly interfere. For example, in the sun, scratches glare, interfering with the driver. Well, at night, the headlights of oncoming cars, reflected by many scratches, irritate the eyes and the driver will quickly get tired.

Toothpaste

The problem can be solved with regular toothpaste. After all, in fact, it is an abrasive composition, which can cope with shallow scratches.

First you need to thoroughly wash the glass and wipe it dry. The main thing is that there is no dust left on it, because rubbing its small particles can only make it worse. After the “frontal” dries, apply a paste on its surface and begin to rub the composition with a simple sponge for washing dishes. Where there are scratches, we “pass” with medium effort.

This method will help to remove the problem for a while, because the paste is washed off and the scratches will be visible again. However, the described procedure will delay their appearance.

Dry mustard with vinegar

Another folk way that can get rid of scratches for a while. We take mustard powder, vinegar and mix both ingredients so that the resulting substance resembles thick sour cream. Then it remains to apply the composition to clean glass and polish with a dry cloth. The effect of such treatment will be stronger than that of toothpaste. But such polishing will not live longer, and mustard, like toothpaste, alas, will not cope with chips.

Paste GOI

The strange name translates as the State Optical Institute, and the paste itself is a green bar. It is issued under various numbers. The higher the number, the more abrasive the composition is. For polishing glass, pastes with numbers 1 or 2 are suitable. The first one can be taken for light polishing, number two is suitable for removing larger scratches.

Paste #2 can be used to polish the rear window of a hatchback or liftback. After all, it has its own windshield wiper, and almost no owner changes its brush. And over time, deep scratches appear there, which are quite difficult to “patch”. And pasta will do it.
