window scratches

Anyone have any problems with scratches on your side windows. I have some pretty deep scratches, maybe 1/32 of an inch on my outer drivers side power window. Does anyone know what causes this?

there are guides that are coverd on felt. the felt has worn off. that is most likely your problem.

yea, there is some liquid abrasive(s) on the market , work like a buffing compounr. they wont rid you of the bad stuff, but if you have wiper marks or road rash - it'll help. you need a buffer to use it though, otherwise its useless.
