Tonight when cleaning the windshield of my car I noticed a fine 8 inch vertical scratch on the inside of the glass; the scratch is visible under fluorescent lighting and I can barely feel it with my finger nail. I cannot figure out how the hell this happened and if i look really closely it look like there are two parallel lines making up the scratch. I don't wear any jewelry other than a watch and my girlfriend does not clean my car windows. I tried removing the scratch with some Scratch-X but that did very little. Any ideas how this could have occurred and what I can try to remove the scratch?

Thanks.

No LOL I wish it were that easy to explain. As mentioned it's on the inside of the glass and can be felt with my fingernail, the scratch is composed of two parallel lines (seperated by about the width of a human hair) and is about +/- 8 inches long.

500, using 100% white terry cloth towels will serve you better. Only use these towels for windows. And don't use fabric any softener when washing your towels...any car towels actually.

A great window washing liquid is 1 part denatured alcohol to 2 parts distilled water. Put in a spray bottle. Spray onto a towel, wash the glass, and then buff/polish dry with another towel. Work in the shade when the glass is cool.

Thanks for the tip about the window cleaning solution...I'll give it a try. Is denatured alcohol readily available at a local drugstore?

I know washing car towels with fabric softner is a disaster especially if using them on dark colored cars...lots of streaks.
