While a scratched glass window, picture frame, or tabletop may not function any differently, it’s certainly an eyesore. While replacing the glass all together is the only way to get a truly seamless shine, you can try to buff out or cover up a scratch with these DIY methods.

3 Easy Ways to Fix Scratched Glass Action Glass
Metal Polish

Step 1: Clean the area around the scratch with a clean, microfiber cloth and glass cleaner. Then, leave it to sit and air dry for 30 minutes.
Step 2: Once the area is completely dry, place a drop or two of metal polish onto a different cloth and begin to gently rub the mark. (Important notice: if you rub too aggressively, you may actually cause more streaks or scratches.)
Step 3: After a minute or two of rubbing the scratch, leave it to sit and dry. If the scratch is still there, repeat steps one and two a week later.

Clear Nail Polish

If you’re really in a pinch and need to cover a scratch fast, turn to your makeup kit!

Step 1: Clean the area around the scratch with a glass window cleaner and microfiber cloth.
Step 2: Once the glass has dried completely, place a thin layer of clear nail polish over the scratch. You should always make sure to use relatively new nail polish that is still smooth.
Step 3: Leave the nail polish to sit and dry for several hours.
Step 4: If you applied too much and are noticing a small bump in the glass, add a drop of nail polish remover to a new, clean cloth and gently rub the area around the original scratch.

Make Your Own Scratch-Remover

If you’re worried about using chemicals on your glass, create your own natural scratch-removing paste with just a few ingredients — water, toothpaste, and baking soda. Mix the ingredients in a small bowl until they form a paste. Once they’re completely mixed, rub it on your scratch with a soft cloth.
