Default Cleaning stubburn si wdo Glass?

78' S/A pwr wdo's,very nice 34K Corv. All glass is orig,no scratches except:very fine rash marks at outside upr edge of both dr glass. Seems to be on outside length wise. Me thinks,when close to lwr park posn,with sweep of the wdo track pressure the black felt wiper is creating this. Anybody got a way to clean these marks? I have tried mild rubbing comp.even wdo glass polish stick with slow wheel,no luck! Thanx,Hdal

I think the biggest reason you haven't gotten a reply is language barrier. Your post is hard to understand, Best I can tell you are asking how to remove scratches from the side glass that's in the doors.....?

I can't help you with that but maybe someone will address it.

Have you tried asking a glass shop. Maybe it can be polished out with a high speed buffer

If you can catch it with a fingernail there's not much you can do.
Polishing with cerium-oxide with a power buffer is the only way I know of removing actual scratches and you are removing glass at that point so it's easy to make it all wobbly or worse since you'll be heating it as well
