They are NOT scratches, but aluminium marks from sliding the base of the pots on the ceramic and are purely on the surface. Simple to remove with metal polish ( Autosol) - A scratch is actual "scored" damage to the surface of the ceramic and cannot be rubbed out. Appliance service engineer of 52 years experience .

Wow, the car polish trick is great. Thanks for speaking clearly and deliberately. Plus, you're a cool guy!

Chrome polish is good for cleaning things like light switch covers, plug socket covers as it removes/hides scratches.

Fixing scratches is all about sanding down damages on the surface to either be even or polished, both work well on things like wood, plastics, or metal. However to be honest it's never going to work well on glass or ceramic surfaces since both molecular structures are not the kinds of things you can easily sand down to make an even surface or polish it. If u have minor scratching the final method is worth it but if u have major damage just leave it alone and be careful with your stove.

What the polish used ?

What happens when you cook on it now tho? has it left some residue inside the scratches or has it just polished off the corners of the scratches to make them less visible so there's no residue?

Thank you so much! This was very helpful! You are so appreciated 🌹👍🏾Wishing you a great day!

Cerama Bryte, ceramic stovetop cleaner is what I use. It’s designed for stovetops. Just put on stovetop. Using a wet paper towel, spread around and rub. Carefully use a razor blade to remove caked on spills. Wipe clean and see the amazing difference. Being using it for 20 years. Available in Canada.

I use a very sharp blade to gently scrape off any burnt residue, then use Fairy liquid with a non-scratch scourer; Cif for any stubborn bits. To finish, I buff with a microfibre cloth.

Thanks for the video. I was inspired to tackle my job and used The Pink Stuff and a soft damp cloth. Took seconds,band the hop look like new!

I always use either baking soda paste or Bartender’s Friend and gently taking my time, scrape with a razor. If it is just cooked on grease like it usually is, I can make them look new. I recently had a lady come by that had either bought a stove or some kind of appliance from me sometime in the past stop by and ask me how I got them so clean as she knew I had good luck cleaning stove tops. I did not recognize her, but it made me feel good that she stopped and asked me. Water seems to work about as good as vinegar for the baking soda paste to me. I just let it sit a good while longer than this video shows.

Finally a nice informative video about the subject that is not bullshit, thank you!

this worked so well for me using metal polish with a drill & buffer attachment thanks

1st method: you mix the baking soda with water in a paper cup, making a thick liquid similar to Elmer’s glue. Pour the thick liquid onto the stove burners. Scrap stove top with a racer blade. Scrap in one direction so as not to scratch stove top. 2nd method: .use liquid purchased for stove top. 3rd: use aluminum foil 4th: baking Sodexo and vinegar 5th: use glass stove top cleaner with electric polisher buffer in your drill Di several times until scratches are removed. My method: use a glass stove top liquid cleaner purchased at the grocery store or wherever appliances are sold (call to see if they have it) and a razor.

Note to self: Don't go ballistic on your glass top. I'm in the process of buying a glass top range, so this has really helped. Thank you!

You should try using the baking soda water mix as an abrasive to scrub/sand the surface.

Thank you for sharing, I am going to try it.

For baked oven residue that refuses to budge I use a blade from a Stanley knife and gently remove the carbon food stains. Hold it at an angle so it is pretty flat against the surface and it removes the baked on remains. Polish off with some cif cleaner…job done.

Will the heat melt the polish away quickly when you use the stove?

Thank you. My son kinda destroyed the one burner. Now I’m going out to buy the car polish and a buffer for my electric circular sander. Awesome ! 🥰❤️💕

I use 180 grit sand paper wet with any type of degreaser to remove allot of burnt grime and scratch marks and it normally gets it all unless they are deep scratch’s and then your looking at removing layers of glass to get that smooth again and different levels of sand paper. I lightly press on the sandpaper and stick with a clockwise swirl pattern. I sell used appliances and this has been the best method for me.

My man worked and my wife is now happy and calm. No more screaming 😂😇

Best video I’ve seen so far thanks bud !

Thank you so much! I spilled hot chocolate and it looked tragic. With your system the whole thing disappeared.

Trying this before guests arrive for thanksgiving love it thanks

HELP IS HERE! There is something that is made expressly for this purpose. It is only $4.15 at Walmart. It is this: "Weiman Glass Cooktop Cleaner & Polish - 15 Ounce." It is a special polish for these kind of cooktops. One came with my stove years ago and it works like a charm. My stove top still looks like new. Use it over the entire top before using the stove as it cleans and also puts up a protective barrier on the surface. Reapply every few months to keep it looking good. Note 1: Do not use paper products like paper towels on the cooktop to clean as they can make microscopic scratches. Always use a soft sponge or cloth or vinyl scrubby. Note 2: If you use a scraper like a razor blade to scrape off burnt-on food, always wet the surface with water or Windex before using the blade to prevent scratching the top.

When I was a projectionist using carbon arc rods for the light source, we used Bon Ami to remove the debris from the mirrors. Dry first, then mixed with a little water to make a paste. Bon Ami will not scratch glass and will remove anything from the glass with enough rubbing. Even burned on sugar can be removed this way.

Just bought a new frying pan and it scratched the hell out of my hob. Thanks for the tips, saved me time.

What happens when you turn on the heat after adding the polish? Does it smoke?

Thank you for sharing. I am going to try this on my sons ceramic hob.

I used a single edge razor blade and got as much as possible off gently. Then I took glass cleaner from a professional cleaning service and cleaned the top. I used a fiber type cloth like they said to do and it look so much better.

السلام عليكم ممكن إذا سمحتو حبيت اسأل عندي فرن سيراميك جينرال واشعلت عليه فحم وم كان لديه اي فكره انه الفحم يترك اثر على السطح ارجوالإفاده وشكراً جزيلاً🌹👍تحياتي

Thx I was searching for that video coz I got a tiny scratch on my stove n I want to remove it . But from where can I get the polish ??

Thank you, brilliant, will try the polish

If your pots and pans have Burt on grease on the bottom, I wonder if this could be scratching the cook top?

If u put soda with water and then scratch it off u re going to make more scratches, not to remove existing ones. Soda with water is for removing lime scale from sink

How does it look a few weeks/ months later? Do you think you’ve removed some of the protective coating this making dirt stick more?

Will this work for auto windshield ??? What brand works best ???

Interesting to see the comparisons, but not like for like. If you used the drill and buffing pad on all options (except aluminium foil!), you may get better results

Thank you very much for your honesty.

Did scratches return after a few weeks? I am thinking the polish only serves to 'fill-in' the scratches as it does on a car paint finish

I am a cleaner and we pretty much do the same for floors once a year at work, we scrub the surface layer down a tiny bit and polish the floor to look like brand new. Deeper scratches will never go away with some easy fix or whatever, you can make it cleaner to hide the scratch a little bit but the scratch is still there. Very deep scratches need to be repaired.

Thanks for the video, very helpful. And such a pleasant voice)

So when you used it the next time, did the heat from the burner do anything to the polish?

Thank you for doing all the hard work for us. Being a guy I was thinking: car (scratch) polish? Glad you tested it. :)

what about ceramic fluid that works like varnish ???

I noticed it today my cooktop got crack..is there any way to replace it..if yes please suggest

Does the polished surface react to heat differently?!

Will it work without the drill?

Very kind sounding boy, i would adopt him 😂🤦‍♂️

Crema bright does it good too. Can get the "kit" with all you need.

Where do I buy the polish and buffer can I get it from bunning

Try baking soda and vinegar; that will clean good; I still haven’t found a good method to remove scratches. Always clean after use. You can use various cleaners to prevent buildup. If you brew your tea, make a tea with used bags and it will remove the acid and a lot of grease. Scratches are like cuts in the glass; that’s what makes them so difficult to remove. I think you would have to buff down past the scratch and I think that is difficult. Norwex makes a cleaner; it’s called cleaning paste and it’s good for removing a lot of stains, oils, and some of the white marks. Biggest issue is to clean right after burners cool down; don’t let things build up on burners. As far as scratches go just be careful to place cookware directly on burner and remove without any scraping motion. Glass tops aren’t made to handle moving cookware on the glass surface. Be sure to hold handles when stirring to prevent movement. There’s nothing I’ve found to remove scratches; it’s just like windshields; very hard to get scratches out because scratches are cuts and have removed part of the surface which can’t be restored to my knowledge. If anyone finds a method please post. I think manufacturers need to study this issue and come up with better stovetop surfaces as the glass tops are difficult to keep in good shape over time. Also it’s hard to remove grease from surfaces even with the best of cleaners; they still tend to streak. There has to be a better way to build stove tops that can stand up over time and retain good surface looks; glass ain’t it.

I watched this video 3 months ago but the awkward thumbs up still manages to make me and my husband like laugh 😂

Very extremely helpful thank you soooooo much

I would think that as soon as you start using the burner the heat would reverse your polish. How did it do after use?

I just got a new cooker and only used the hob twice and its already looking scratched

So will T-Cut work?

It was very interesting. What kind of polish. Shoe polish does it help also ;

Magic eraser was like, "well, I loosened it up" 😄

Just did it and it worked! Thanks!

Sorry for the question what kind the car polish can I buy ?

Oven pride oven cleaner works perfectly just leave on for half an hour try it for yourself

Interesting on using car polish. Had did it smell and look after the next cooking?

What type of polish was used???

I was cringing when you used a wodded piece of tin foil on your top. The top is a glass/ceramic blend and requires special care. I just got a new all black glass top stove. It is beautiful, but requires a lot more attention than my white one and scratches very easily. Even a dish with a rough bottom will scratch it. Remember, that if you clean then wax after each use and cook on it carefully, you can keep the top looking almost new. I cook all the time (1-2 times every day) and after 6 months, my top still looks really shiny and almost new (I have 1 small deep scratch, but I am the only one who seems to notice it, according to my husband). FYI, I invested a good deal of time and used this method on a friend's old cooktop and it also made a huge difference. Anyway, for anyone interested, here is my routine: 1. Once the top is cool, I use a straight edge blade at a 45 degree angle to carefully loosen burnt spillage areas before cleaning. It even seems to work on minor scratches somehow. Unfortunately, deep scratches are likely there to stay, so be careful. 2. I then use a soft wet sponge with dish soap to clean the top and dry with a paper towel. 3. I then use a few drops of cooktop wax with a damp paper towl then quickly and gently rub as it dries to remove most of the residue. 3. Finally, if any streaks, fingerprints or swirl marks remain, I then apply a fine spray of cool tap water then gently dry with a new paper towel until it sparkles. Keep in mind that deep scratches are often there to stay, so if it matters to you, be careful not to drag metal across the top and NEVER use an abrasive pad, brillo or comet.....you will only get more scratches. Good luck to all

How did it look after using the element? I would be concerned the "Polish" that remains in the scratched areas would burn when stove was used. I am trying to decide if I should buy a flat top stove rather than the coil burner. I am still 90% convinced I don't want a smooth top.

Well done my friend always worth ago liked your video

Weiman glass cook top cleaner and polish will also work like this ???? Or only car polish work better ?

The burns, spill overs under a hot pan, scorches & scratches remove whatever black coating is on the stove top. I dont think anything will put back that black coating. I'm going to have to replace my top.

How did it work with the smaller scratches?

Could I do polishing to the glass oven door? Thank you.

Dude! Scratches are not like dirt! You can't "clean" them off. You basically need to sand away (that's what the polish does) the top layers of the glass until you wear it out to the same level as the scratch.

does it still work when heated up? (please answear)

Normally a car polish is a micro filler, it masks the scratches but doesn't remove them ,, but the result is fab, I have to do mine before I leave my rental thanks.

I’ve learned to live with the scratches until now. I may try the polish. TY

To completely remove the scratches, you'll have to basically grind down the entire surface to the level of the bottom of the scratches. Other than that, the only option is to polish off the sharp edges of the scratches to make them less visible ( like when polishing surface scratches on a cars clearcoat).

Doesn’t car polish have wax in it? I’m thinking the wax fills the scratches so it looks smooth. The first time the stove is used the wax would burn off and the scratches would return. Someone try it and reply if that is the case.

The best way I've found is to use and old style razor blade to remove burnt on things from my ceramic top. It isn't actually scratched but rather looks scratched. It doesn't hurt to put some vinegar on a paper towel first and lay that on the ceramic surface to soften the burnt on stuff. The use your razor blade carefully to scrape off the carbonized stuff. In the end your ceramic top will look new again.

Would T-Cut also work I wonder?

Maybe T-cut for cars migh also work ?

What polish is it?

What kind of polish

It worked wonderfully! Thank you!

Limescale remover works as does a wet dishwasher tablet rubbed across it (not the liquid style ones)

Great , can you share link for the polish ?

Is it special polish or car polish. For the polisher is it car polisher or it’s special one ? Thanks

Hi.. What is the ordinary car polish you use?

You should never move pans around on a ceramic burner. The pan itself will scratch the glass. You should use a foam cutting pad on your drill, because you have to remove material. The pad you were using is for final finishing.

Hey guys, my ceramic is broken. Is there a putty to fix it?

Wow magic sir, i will use now the last one method.. 😊 thanks

Well the polish filled the scratches, but what's it going to do when you switch the stove back on?

I had one of these...pain in the arse...we just bought a new gas stove! We love it!!

I wonder about head light restoration kits?

Personally I think that ceramic stove tops will scratch no matter what you do. I have a KitchenAid pro series and it is a mess. I do not slide my pans around. I put it on the burner and lift it off when I am finished. Im not a chef so I am just boiling hard-boiled eggs, water for tea, etc. It's a hot mess. Then I bought a new cheap stove for a cottage and after one time boiling water for noodles, it is scratched and discolored. I am convinced they are just cheaply made and they will scratch and discolor no matter what you do. Funny how we have pyrex baking dishes that are not scratched at all after years of baking, scrubbing, clanging them around in the sink, etc. This video was good to show us that polishing does offer some hope.

Thank you!! Did the car polish end up making a tiny dip in the glass? Since I imagine it's removing material or not? Like when you look with the light reflection

You cant use a ceramic or glass cooktop as you would a gas burner. The manuals all say to not slide pans around on them. Use a spatula to move the food in the pan. When food, grease or oil burns onto the burner, use a ceramic/glass cooktop cleaning kit to remove the burnt on gunk. The kit will have a non scratch scrubber, polish and a razor blade. They also come with instructions. It takes me maybe 5 minutes to

Best scratch remover is Cerium Oxide and water to make a paste. And high speed pad.

I use the Weiman cleaner and find it works better and faster than anything for me.

Por favor lo pueden traducir en Español me interesa mucho ya que yo la tengo muy rallada gracias🇪🇸
