What is the most cost efficient fashion (if whatsoever) to visually remove, or reduce equally much as possible, scratches made on a tinted window inside of a car? The car is old, it does not thing if it'south not perfect nor a permanent solution.

This was accidentally done with an ice scraper. This mail service seems to say that it'southward condom to do that, but information technology'southward actually not! I'm not attempting this with an ice scraper ever again.

  • Is simply the tint damaged?

  • Yes, only the interior. Information technology was scratched with an ice scraper inside of the car, non outside. Hope it answers your question, tough I would sympathise if not. I cannot tell if the but matter that'due south scratched is the tint, but I would very much believe then, since I've never scratched glass with an ice scraper my unabridged life.

  • With a normal water ice scraper, you'll never scratch glass ... they are only hard plastic and glass is ~6.v on the Mohs hardness scale. Diamond is ten. Hardened steel is at 7 to 8. Iron is 4-5. Plastic? Information technology doesn't say, but I'd put it somewhere between 2-two.five (at a guess).

  • Take the tint off and leave it off @that-ben, tinting your front end windows reduces visibility and is a rubber outcome.

Try plastic wax sold at Wal-Mart for headlights it will smooth out light scratches fabricated in tint which is a film but volition not help where information technology is really ripped torn or missing. Best bet is to re tint or diy with tint motion picture you'll need a razor blade to trim edges some adhesive for tint and a menu or plastic putty pocketknife to smooth out ripples
