Had a custie ask me if theres something on market to remove scratches from glass. Someone tried to remove paint with a blunt stanley knife on a couple of her windows!!
I've heard that toothpaste and nail varnish could work but would be interested to know if anyone had used these methods or others etc!!

Ive used toothpaste on scratched glass it worked a treat but the scratch was only faint, you have nothing to lose if you try it but get whitening toothpaste.

Unless you have a buffing machine it is no use especially if you can feel the scratch

If it's just a small wooden frame Georgian pane, the best thing is to dig out the putty, remove the damaged glass and replace with a new bit.
It's not difficult and you get the new bit of glass cut to size less 2mm all round. Replacing the putty is a bit fiddly, but by the time you've done one pane you'll be expert ;D
It used to be a nice little sideline for 'old school' windies - point out broken panes to people and offer to replace them.
