any way to repair scratches on the outside of a tank?

my cube suffered an injury as a neighbor "helped" me do a tank change.... now it's got a few scratches front and center and needs some work.

how can i fix the glass scratches? is it even possible? how difficult is it?

specific product that is easy like the eyeglass doctor thing or do i need a chemical compound to buff it out? if i buff it out will it be noticeable where it was buffed?

etc...

I don't think there is any way to fix scratches on glass tanks. only acrylic.

you may try and talk to an automotive glass repair specialist and see if they know of a way.

They may be able to fill in the scratches but normally glass, once scratched remains scratched.
