something rings a bell that there is a type of polish that window fitters use that can remove scratches. I think it was called jewelers polish but im not to sure.

Jewllers rouge is the stuff you are on about, its great for taking small scratches out, obviously it wont take really deep ones out. Ive used it for taking fine scratches out of watch glasses with pretty amazing results.

bit late with this post martin the details are a couple post back

I know Fi, I saw it afterwards :) No harm in repeating it though

Jewellers rouge is the stuff

I've got the same issue with my drivers window. All my scratches run vertically though so it's more like the window opening and closing has been the cause.

If you've not picked it up already then talk to the dealer about it and they might be able to do something about it. I had a lot of paint missing from the door handles on my car from what looked like finger nail scratches and they had some guy touch up all that no problems before delivering the car to me.:)

Mark - my driver's side window has vertical scratches, as did my '01 COOPER previously. I know why though - 'cos I'm always winding down the windows to listen to the exhaust!! It really shouldn't happen though, I reckon the mechanism is at fault.... but as it doesn't hamper my vision, I just put up with it.

It's just something that you don't notice after a while, not unless the sunlight shines on it at a certain angle.

Of course if it really bothers you just put the windows down when you get in the car and you'll never see it.

An effective solution Mark, if a wee bit damp.....
