Has anyone successfully managed to polish scratches out of glass?
Wife inherited a mirror that must have been polished with a brillo pad
scratches aren't deep enough to feel but there's lots of them.

Yep. It's all about speed.
When i worked for Autoglass "Jewelers Rouge" saved the day many times! Ideally needs to be used with a high speed buffer. We used dremels as quite often the damage caused was minimal.

I don't know about mirrors but i did a builders clean a couple of years back where the glass had been scarred rather than scratched.
Not by me i hasten to add.
The units were imported and rather than replace them they got someone in to polish the ruts out and they looked alright as long as the sun was either just coming up or going down or even better not there at all.
I ended up doing some of the apartments as private jobs afterwards and there was a discernible haze to the glass.

if the scratch can be felt with a fingernail then polishing is only going to matters worse as it can make a dished effect where the scratch was(damo can confirm that one)its often cheaper to replace the sealed unit than to polish out multiple scratches,on a mirror it depends,is it a very old one?a victorian one or older should be left like that as it is aged,if its newer its better and cheaper to have a new one cut
