Toothpaste to repair scratches on your glass

[electriclamb]

I tried toothpaste , Dish washing soup , Car Wax , guess what worked ... nothing ...

Any other homemade recipes you want to test out ?

might as well try super fine grit sand paper and water while your in destruction mode. Or a drimmel buffing tool if you have that lying around.

I actually shot the whole thing on video ... if I weren't too freaking sleepy and if they weren't so boring I would've uploaded them.

try clear nail polish instead. applied thinly along the scratch.

When I said homemade ... well lets just say my fianc?e is far away from me

Would it test your manhood to go to the store to buy a bottle of clear nail polish? Dude, it isn't hard to do. And it does work.

There's a soup that washes dishes? Brilliant! Dinners should clean the dishes they're served on.

It wouldn't test it , It would test the level of ****s I want to give though..

I do not recommend to use any of those methods to try get rid off the scratch, because screen has oliophobic coating, and you will lost it and then your screen would look bad.

You will most likely need to replace the glass. I know of no way to recoat the glass. Maybe someone else will know of a fix other than replacement.

Throw a good screen protector over it and call it a day.

It really works I would think it would make it worse

Toothpaste doesn't really repair the scratch, it just removes the white coloring of the scratch, making it look better.

People have been using toothpaste to repair damaged DVDs for years and afterwards they play like new again. I've done it myself. My kids are hard on them... :/ I would imagine if it makes scratched DVDs playable it's legit for screen scratches as well, although as one other post suggested it likely would remove the oleophobic coating, making your screen more prone to smudges, etc.

this is a interesting fact how you guys still use toothpaste to remove scratches, guess it works to some extend.
