buffing light scratches out of glass?

Does anybody know if it's possible to buff some very very light scratches out of a tank, and how to do it if so

thanks...Joshua

Time I have, money for brand new oceanic RR 120 I do not. I got really lucky and bought this tank for $85. I could probably actually live with the scratches for a bit, but there so light that I might as well try to remove them. when you say a long time what exactly are we talking?

They have to be EXTREMELY light for it to even have a chance of working.

They pass the fingernail test. I think the last owner scrubbed too hard with a scrubbing pad.

Good luck--but I wouldn't expect very good results (it is impossible for a scrubber pad alone to scratch glass--must have had gravel in it).
