This was recommended to fix a scratch in my tinted car window. The scratch is about 1", but deep. Has anyone tried to fix tint scratches with this?

I have only used maguires mirror glaze 17 clear plastic cleaner on my older soft top plastic window and it made a big difference. Totally worth having in my arsonal but I don't know about tint scratch. Good luck

YOU removed window tint plastic from glass?? I believe this is what you are saying. If so, I would use GooGone to remove the residue and then use Invisible Glass to shine the glass.

If the scratch is really large and deep you may need to smooth it out a little. Generally the compound will work well enough on light scratches I understand but I'm not a good one to answer for certain because the product did not work on my scratch anyway.

I don't have direct experience with using it on a plastic area of the car. I would email the company and ask them. As a note, I had great success with the product repairing about a six inch long scratch on my car (you must follow the directions exactly). So, it would be worth finding out if it will work on the plastic area of car.

Depends on how deep the scratches are. This is excellent for scratches like spiderweb on paint. Deep scratches require some serious buffing with a machine using special wax then use this last. Hope this helps.

CAR WINDOWS ARE ALREADY COVERED IN A PLASTIC ANTI-SHATTER layer, so in theory it should work. I'm just not sure if it would leave a film or not, since less dense or less smooth plastics could leave air pockets (and thus blurriness) when applied. But if it's a hard, smooth, glass-like plastic I would give it a try (maybe apply just to a corner at first to test it?)

If the scratches are very fine, it's possible. But it's recommended you replace the glasses. Diminished view quality will become an irritant to your eyes. I recommend this for items only where appearance is an issue. If you can feel the scratch with your fingernail, it's probably too deep to polish out.

I tried to remove the stain that was left around the scratch after I tried to remove some scratches on the car. I was advised to use the polish after using the scratch remover, but it didn't work for me. I even had someonewax my car to see if I could get rid of the stains that were created by these 2 products. But that didn't work either, unfortunately.

I would say so - it can be folded at the end if it is too long. I have tinted windows and it has worked fine. When you first install the window seems a bit tight, but it will relax as the cover is on. These have saved tons of scratches in my car!

Greetings, Merrilee... I imagine it would work just fine. Bear in mind that you're in for a LONG process when removing scratches. It took HOURS for me to get my windshield scratches out. I inadvertently also didn't get it completely even as well. But, the finished project was a HUGE improvement over the scratches that made it difficult to see in bad weather. Also, PLEASE watch some videos on youtube in order to learn the "proper" way in which to polish glass. It will really help when you finally tackle the project.I hope this helps.

That's a question best asked of a body shop technician. It will buff out light scratches in clear coat, but I cant vouch for much else. Sorry.

This is a mild abrasive, it does not "fill in" scratches, it removes the material around the scratches and polishes. A lot of plastic lenses have been "coated" to make them scratch-resistant, and this will remove the coating. If your only other choice is to replace the lenses anyway, you could give it a try.

I used to to clear up a cloudy place on my motorcycle windshield where I tried to rub out a particularly crusty bug with a peroxide soaked paper towel (never use paper towels on plastic windshields)... it worked great, the little cloudy place is gone. Then I got the idea to use it to try and remove the cloudyness from my car's headlights... it didn't do a thing... I have my doubts about it taking scratches from your resin based epoxy...

I use this product for plastic airplane and car models. It removes the fine scratches and "foggy" appearance from the "clear" windshields and styrene plastic remarkably well. I would test a portion of your screen and then proceed accordingly.

I agree with Helen (previous answer). It worked well to shine up our unpainted canoe, but it did not remove scratches.

As long as your "glasses" are not glass, but are "plastic", then the Novus #2 solution might remove very fine superficial scratches. Use a very soft cotton cloth, like the silky kind included with your spectacles from the optometrist. You might have to repeat the process again if the scratch is still present.

Yes, it works wonders!! I had to go over ther scratch twice on my car, but it doesn't take long at all. I did it a few months back and it still looks like the scratch was never there!
