Glass scratches can often be permanent, as glass is a hard and brittle material that doesn’t easily recover from scratches. However, the severity of the scratch and the type of glass can influence whether it’s repairable. Superficial scratches may be buffed out using specialized products or techniques, but deeper scratches might require professional intervention or even replacement. Factors such as the composition of the glass, its thickness, and the nature of the scratch (e.g., surface-level or deep) all play a role in determining whether the scratch can be effectively repaired. Prevention through careful handling and maintenance is key to minimizing the risk of scratches on glass surfaces.
