Hello, everyone has the title says. Has anyone had luck removing scratches on glass aquariums??
I’ve recently found an Innovative marine 70 gallon drop off its fairly priced but it has quite a few scratches.
Would like to see anyone work if they’ve been able to repair scratches.

I did once and what a pain- I used a rouge given to me from a glass shop and was labor intense and it clean most of it up- and only removed the finer scratches

I tried, hard. It was not worth it. Wish I had bought a new tank

Used a drill and cerium oxide, for HOURS. Maybe took out a few finer scratches? Big ones drove me crazy for years

I tried once with a kit from a glass company with pads for drill attachments and 2 different types of cerium oxide.
Worked on a small area for 5-6 hours and removed some hazy spots, but the scratches weren't affected at all.

I’ve been looking for one of these 70 drop offs for a while. I’ll try to get a better deal for it.
