<div><span>Hi Keith,</span></div>
<div><span>On windows that were just lightly scratched, I sanded with 600 grit with water then 1500 grit.  It only took two sanding steps.  When there were deeper scratches, I wet sanded with 400 grit then 600, and finished with 1500 grit.  When I had to remove gouges that you would think impossible, I started with 220 grit and then 400 then 600 and finished with 1500 grit and always wet of coarse.  I polished with 3M 05937 compound in one step with a very smooth pad.  I started polishing with a more coarse compound  but found the fine stuff worked in one step.  I polished the windows in a fixture so they did not move around and I could flip the windows over quickly and often to avoid building up heat.  The windows
stayed cool with no trouble.  </span></div>

What grit and method of sanding an polishing did you use on the windows? If you could do a quick tutorial,I at the very least, would
find it very helpful.<br clear="none">

<div>Today I sanded and polished the windows for Gamma.  I ended up doing it myself because my guy is busy.  It work out great and I am surprised how easy and fast it went.  I even managed to remove some gouges about .040 deep.</div>
