   Nope, not in a practical way.

   Didn't he realize it?

   *Bad news, bro'. Replacement is the only answer. Never pay the painter until you look at the glass. I feel for ya', last year I replaced over $2K worth of lo-E and tempered glass in some Eagle windows and doors. After checking around with quite a few glass companies and some specialty services, the concensus was that if you can feel the scratches with a fingernail, the glass is beyond repair. If you can't feel them, the repairs are prohibitively expensive unless you're only talkin' a couple of panes.Live and learn. Sorry you had to learn the hard way.

   *Just as you, because you are his brother, would not want him to incur the cost, he also, because he is your brother would not want you to foot the bill. Everybody wins!I say the painter should pay for it.

   *Mr. Lee,Try this link:http://www.eastwoodcompany.com/cgi-bin/sgdynamo.exe?HTNAME=plast_glass_new.htm&UID=2000082701021493The glass buffing kit they sell is meant for car winshields. You may want to contact them for advice on your intended use. You may want to contact the window manufacturer as well. I have not used the kit but read a good review in an auto restorer type magazine. Even if this works for you, you have a lot of work ahead of you, and buffing can distort your view slightly depending on the depth of the scratches.Good Luck,Jerry

   question: The painter for my home scratched the glass window
   pains with 100grit sandpaper. It is very milky. I do not want to replace 50 panes of glass. Is there any way to remove the scratches. Making the painter replace them is not an options--he is my brother. help, R Michael
