Well, ordered Mirka, 180, 500 and 1000 grit that fits on my 150mm sander. Trying to polish out scratches on my patio door but I need the 180 grit to grind down to scratch level. If I can polish out the scratches on my own door then I will tackle the window.

Just seems a bit bizarre sanding a pane of glass with 180 grit paper even though its made for glass. Scratching that window has now turned into an adventure that I never thought I would ever tackle. Plenty of work polishing car windscreens which seems to be where all the work is. Another sideline like Ceramic Coating, with some cars costing more than a house means there must be demand for it but I think I will stick to window cleaning.😂

After many days on Utube and tackling my own patio door with a deep scratch, I managed to sand it down to scratch level and then polish it out. Managed to follow my usual pattern of buying lots of stuff that I didn't really need or was useless.
Popped by customer's house to try and polish a few of them out but I will need to sand them first and then polish the cloud out. Long drawn out process and my liability Insurance gets renew around now.
Doesn't rain but it pours, seems like all my mates running their own companies seem to be in the same boat.
Raining in the next few days so an ideal time to get stuck in and complete the task, only blessing is the neighbour came over and wants his windows cleaned every month, without the scratches.😂

The very reason you should have got someone who knows what there doing to get it out. There in and out within an hour.

Id see your point in wanting to learn something if it was something that you had to do quite often.

In 22 years though, I've had 2 scratches I've had to get fixed.  So wasting my time for hours on end so I know how to do it is just pointless.
