Scratched glasses

Metal polish will work. The best stuff is jewellers rouge but it's not that easy to get hold of. Apparently it's what they used to use to polish the scratches out of Spitfire windscreens in WW2.

I don't believe it is glass- I thought it was a different type of hardened plastic.

Pretty sure mine were described as glass-coated, although it was a while ago… I actually need new ones anyway!

I'm sure you can get rouge relatively easily, being able to use it to polish glass might be the hard part. It's a skill on its own

^this^ I've lost count of the times I've ruined mine  using the grinder on metalwork,  I keep forgetting they're not safety glasses.

I get new lens fitted in the old frames at the opticians, I can get by with a pair of those ready made readers until they're done.

I've got a friend who spent loads on new double glazing before realising he had a scratch on his specs......
