I tried everything I could find online to fix it (vinegar/water, Ajax, dish soap, Pinkstuff, glass cleaner, and glass... read more polish) and NOTHING worked.

Why Contractors, Builders, and Collectors Trust Unscratch the Surface to Restore What Others Won't Touch
Unscratch the Surface developed the best patented glass scratch removal process in the industry — a distinction earned through decades of refinement, not imitation. Rather than relying on off-the-shelf abrasive and polishing discs, we engineer and adapt our own compounds and techniques for each unique project. The result is unmatched speed, precision, and a standard of glass resurfacing and refurbishment that competitors consistently attempt — and consistently fail — to replicate.
What Sets Unscratch the Surface Apart: Our Commitment to Flawless Glass Restoration
How Do We Achieve Results Others Say Are Impossible?
Our process is built on 20 years of field experience, proprietary technology, and an uncompromising standard of quality. Here is what distinguishes us from every other glass restoration company operating today.
1. Our Own Patented Process — Developed, Owned, and Continuously Refined by Us
Our glass scratch removal process is the only one of its kind protected by a U.S. patent. While others have attempted to reverse-engineer our methods, the precision and consistency we achieve come from years of proprietary development that cannot be replicated off a shelf. When the integrity of your glass — or your project’s bottom line — is on the line, you want the originator, not an imitation.
2. Custom-Engineered Techniques Tailored to Every Project
No two glass restoration challenges are identical. A curtain wall on a 12-story commercial build, a hand-fabricated windshield on a 1971 classic, and the salon windows of a 60-foot yacht each demand a fundamentally different approach. We continuously develop and refine our abrasives, polishing compounds, and application methods to match the specific glass type, damage depth, and performance standards each project requires. Precision is not a goal — it is our baseline.
3. Two Decades of High-Stakes Project Experience
Since 2005, Unscratch the Surface has completed glass restoration work across 27+ U.S. states and four countries, on projects ranging from iconic commercial landmarks to private estates and rare collector vehicles. That depth of experience — over 100,000 square feet of glass restored — means we have encountered virtually every form of glass damage imaginable and developed proven solutions for all of it. Our clients trust us with irreplaceable glass precisely because our track record speaks for itself.
4. The Industry’s Only No-Distortion Guarantee
Distortion-free results are not a marketing claim — they are a guarantee. Unscratch the Surface is the only glass restoration company in the industry to offer a formal No-Distortion Guarantee. For custom home builders protecting million-dollar views, contractors managing punch lists on high-visibility facades, and collectors preserving irreplaceable original glass, this commitment eliminates risk entirely. If your view matters, the standard must be absolute.
5. Deep Specialization in Commercial and Construction Glass
Glass restoration is our singular focus — not a sideline service. We specialize in the full spectrum of construction-related glass damage: post-construction scratch removal, fabrication debris resurfacing, curtain wall restoration, and high-rise tempered panel refinishing. Commercial contractors and general contractors across the country rely on us to resolve glass damage quickly, cleanly, and at a fraction of replacement cost — often saving clients $50,000 to over $700,000 per project.
6. Technicians Trained to the Highest Standard in the Field
Every technician we deploy is trained specifically in our proprietary resurfacing methods — not general glass work. They arrive on-site prepared to assess damage accurately, work efficiently within active construction or occupied environments, and deliver results that meet the exacting standards our clients demand. We treat your schedule, your property, and your clients with the same professionalism you bring to your own work.
7. Purpose-Built Tools and Solutions for Complex Restoration Challenges
When a project presents a challenge that standard equipment cannot address, we build the solution ourselves. From curved architectural glass and laminated heritage windows to vintage automotive glass and yacht pilot house panels, we have developed proprietary tooling specifically for the jobs others decline to take. Our reputation as meticulous perfectionists is not an accident — it is the product of refusing to accept “close enough” as an outcome.
8. Comprehensive Capability Across Every Glass Type and Application
Whether the project involves tempered curtain walls, laminated safety glass, reflective commercial facades, classic car windshields, or marine pilot house windows, Unscratch the Surface has the expertise and equipment to restore it to original clarity — without replacement. Our work is permanent: scratches are removed, not concealed. What we restore stays restored.
The Standard We Hold Ourselves To: Glass that looks as though the damage never occurred. Every project. Every time.

- 20 Years of High-Stakes Project Experience Since 2005, we have completed glass restoration on landmark commercial properties, luxury custom homes, and high-profile projects across four countries. That depth of experience means we have seen — and solved — virtually every glass damage scenario in the field.
