What to do about fine scratches in glass?

Light, superficial scratches often result from cleaning, dust particles, or moving objects. These so-called hairline scratches can sometimes be treated with simple remedies:

Proven home remedies:

• Toothpaste with polishing effect

• Ammonia-water solution

• Glass polish from specialized retailers

Important: Always use soft cloths, thoroughly clean the surface beforehand, and perform multiple passes. Home remedies only work on very fine, barely noticeable scratches.

Tip: Websites like OBI.de offer step-by-step guides for home remedies – but these won’t help with deeper damage.
