How To Get Rid Of Scratches On Glass Coffee Tables
Is the glass surface of your coffee table looking worse for wear? Are there deep scratches that make it look unsightly? You don’t have to replace your table – instead, you can use a few easy remedies to get rid of the scratches and restore the glass surface!
Things You’ll Need
- Toothpaste
- Polishing compound
- White clothes
- Mirror repair kit
Step 1: Clean the Table
Before you can start repairing scratches, you’ll need to make sure the table is clean. Dust and grease on the surface of the table can make the repair job harder, so it’s important to make sure the table is clean and dry.
Step 2: Try Toothpaste
Toothpaste can be a great way to get rid of light scratches in glass surfaces. Put a small amount of toothpaste on a damp white cloth and gently rub it over the scratched area. The paste should fill in the scratches and make them less visible.
Step 3: Buff Away
Once you’ve applied the toothpaste, use a dry white cloth to buff away any excess. Keep buffing until the surface of the glass is smooth. This method should be enough to get rid of light scratches, but for deeper ones you may need to use a polishing compound.
Step 4: Use a Polishing Compound
If you have deeper scratches, you can use a polishing compound to get rid of them. You’ll need to apply a small amount of compound to the scratched area and use a buffing pad to buff away the scratches. The buffing pad should be in a circular motion as you go over the scratches.
Step 5: Use a Mirror Repair Kit
If all else fails, you can use a mirror repair kit to get rid of deep scratches. A mirror repair kit is a special compound that comes with an applicator so you can easily fill in the scratches. Apply the compound and allow it to dry overnight before polishing it off with a dry cloth.
You’re All Done!
Now that you’ve repaired the scratches on your glass coffee table, your table will look as good as new! With these steps and some patience, you’ll have your coffee table looking its best in no time!
