Default Door glass fix

Does anyone know if it is possible to buff out scratches in window glass? With what media/polish?

I had a dent/ding guy work on getting out a ding in my passenger door and in doing so unfortunately he scratched quite much the outside surface of the passenger door glass. Ugh.

I'm in the USA, and I'm wondering if it's not possible to buff out, where is the best source (hopefully least expensive as well) for obtaining factory window glass?

Thanks!

I have heard that pink jeweler's rouge will take out small scratches. Eastman Products also has some glass scratch remover!

Where can I get the glass for $122. The guy says he'll cover the cost, but "first wants to try to buff out the scratches". He's not in this business as he's a dent guy. I picture him somehow even causing more damage. I've received a couple quotes.......about $239 for the glass and $90 for install. Suggestions?

Thanks.

Georgie,

I received this quote from Jeff @ SunsetParts@sunsetimports.com

Left Door glass, Porsche 99354201100 $122.72
Right Door glass, Porsche 99354201200 $122.72

No affiliation, I have been very pleased doing business with them.

Dave
