Hmm that's a bugger.

Never used wet & dry on glass but have used Micro Mesh.  Works OK but much better on plastics.  Without seeing the scratches I'm not sure what would be best.

I spent some time working for a glazier and always found there becomes a point where nothing much seems to work, unlike paint where there are a lot more ways around scratches.  Seemingly minor scratches in glass are trickier to fix as they just keep reflecting light and as it's so hard, you need something abrasive but naturally that's going to impart more than it removes.

Is it possible these scratches are from a ring or something embedded in the window seal? 

Good luck

It looks like they are from something that was in the seal and when they put the window down its done the damage. I just have to live with it I guess  :cry:

Thanks for the advice anyway  :smiley:

Hmm, I had something similar on my last car.  2 parallel lines, obviously something stuck in the seal.

Surprisd it's more noticable with the film on though, I would have thought less light through it would have cut down what was being reflected in the scratch - sorry didn't work out but if you do fancy it, might be worth trying a bit of Micro Mesh, you can get it on the bay.
