I have had very good results with the Cerium Oxide and polishing wheel. BUT the really deep scratches are still there. So I am thinking like 2000 grit wet sanding. Has anyone done this?

I am sure you can eventually sand out almost any scratch, the issue will be either the glass getting real thin, or the fact that you will still have a distortion (unless you do a LOT of sanding around it)

Dont try sanding glass, its just going to haze. There is a chemical that you can whipe on glass that fills scratches, cant for the life of me remember the name but we used it to fixed scratched phone screens. There are a few glass scratch fixes on the market now which are basically clear acrylic thay fills the cracks. If they are shallow you can try using cerium oxide to buff it out

So I did use the Cerium Oxide. And it did remove the light environmental damage and very light scratches. So the big scratches were now shiny. no bueno. And even though every one said not to, I went through the #s with wet sand paper, then Cerium followed by another round of Cerium. So now after all the expense and effort it is hazy and shiny with the big scratches highlighted. Gonna have to retreat and regroup on this one.

Are you spending less than glass replacement? Or is that not an option here?
