Glass Scratched

[wolverine_man]

Hey everyone,

It was nice here yesterday (today freezing rain) so I decided to clean up my car pretty good. When I was all done, I noticed that my driver's side rear window had a long deep horizontal scratch in it. It was deep enough that I could feel it with my finger nail. It is the only scratch I have on my glass. Now, I do wash my car at the quarter wash, but I am always extremely careful to pressure spray all of the debris out of the brush and I don't scrub very hard. I am thinking this might be vandalism. What do you guys (and gals) think? Any experience with the glass scratching very easily?

road debris? i would not think vandalism first unless you had a reason to honestly.

I just don't see how road debris could cause such a deep scratch on the side of my vehicle. I could see perhaps the windshield, but the rear side window? It's deep enough to feel with my fingernail.

maybe a rock or something was thrown at it? and bounced off, do u have any enemies? if not its prolly just haters

[wolverine_man]

No enemies. My apt neighbors obviously know that I spend a lot of time cleaning my car, etc. Who knows.

it could be vandalism where someone walked by with a key, or maybe the brush wasn't completely clean when you washed it. not much you can do about it besides getting it replaced.

Thanks. It's been noted on my insurance policy. I'll get it replaced in the Spring.

you can prob get it buffed out by a product/chemical called cerium oxide and cotton buffing wheels (felt). Companies use that to polish jewlery like diamond and lots of different stones; google it....my side mirror shattered onto my drivers side window and i have scratches i will be getting this and going to see if it can be buffed out.
