Any glass polish should help Ash, try Gtechniq G4.
There was one that Kev recommended before but I can't remember what it was lol

G4 isn't actually a corrective compound, it just cleans the surface thoroughly before G1/G3 application.

There are dedicated corrective glass compounds out there but due to glass being rock hard your going to be there for a while with a machine.

Indeed, we use it at work on Jags for minor scratches on screens on rare occasions.

It's called 'Jewelers Rouge Powder' that is supplied to us from Pilkington glass makers. I don't know where you would get some, maybe a net search It's a powder that you mix with water to make a super fine paste.

Verry good stuff, but caution must be used not to polish through the toughened layer of glass.

Grey Plastics

can recommend highly Black Wow, pricy but lasts years, you only need a few blobs and it spreads well, lasts and beads nicely, leaves a darkened finish.

its been pouring down with rain here.
looking outside at the cars parked in the street, all other cars are dull and the rain looks just 'flat' on their cars
whereas mine, i can see beading and the water was just running off during the rain
