Your lovely pair of glasses or those wonderful designer shades will be scratched by one careless action, such as throwing them into your purse or onto the dashboard of your car. There is a way to keep those glasses if you don’t want to sell them or spend money having the lenses changed.
Here are several do-it-yourself strategies for polishing glass and sunglasses that have scratches on them.
Wearing gloves and reading the manufacturer’s instructions is recommended before beginning, though. Even better, test them first on a set of extra lenses. Furthermore, never clean your lenses with abrasive materials or solutions.
Toothpaste.
Apply some toothpaste to your lens and gently rub it in a circular motion for approximately 10 seconds with a cotton or soft wool towel. Wash your lens in cold water, then pat it dry. Repeat as necessary to remove any stubborn scratches or until they disappear. This might take some time if you have an anti-scratch coating.
soda bread.
To make a paste, combine water and baking soda. With a cotton or wool cloth, apply some of the paste to your lens and rub it in a circular motion. After washing it in cold water, dry it with a cloth. To completely remove the scratch, you might need to repeat the procedure.
automobile wax.
By applying it with a soft, clean cloth and gently rubbing the damage away, you can also use car wax to remove scratches from your lens.
Water Resistant for Windshield.
Using a towel, apply water repellent to the windshield and rub it in slowly for a few seconds. This prevents your glasses from fogging up and works best on surface scratches. It also repels moisture and dirt.
Silver/Brass Polish.
Another method that ought never to be applied to glass is this one. On plastic lenses, though, it will operate. Remove any scratches by buffing after applying the metal polish with a cotton ball. With a towel, wipe away any extra polish.
Please let your family and friends KNOW about this.
