Metal polish on glass?

I have a tube of Autosol Metal Polish, and I remembered I saw something like I can use a metal polish on glass.

It is ok to use this polish on windshiled, or on fine scraches on glass?

I spoke with a local detailer and he said that a polished glass will have a "magnified glass effect" ( idon't know how to translate). Is it true? And I could damage my glass if using metal polish on it?
 
I once tried using Peek metal polish (chemical cleaner) on glass, it worked quite well but took a long time to clean off all the smearing.
 
The formulas are completely different, but Sonus makes a "Glass and Chrome Polish"... Autosol is very effective metal polish and it feels like it has diminishing abrasives, but I don't know that I'd try it on glass. There are plenty of good glass-specific polishes out there.



For the amount you'd need to do a windshield, I should think that the autosol wouldn't be cost effective.



The chances of removing scratches in glass with any hand-applied polish seem pretty slim to me. Test it out on a small spot out of the line of vision.
 
Fine scratches on glass?

Cerium oxide is made to remove fine scratches and polish glass. It's used in the astronomy world to polish telescope lenses.

Various companies make a glass polishing kit that consists of the powder and a felt pad mandrel that fits into an electric drill.

It'll remove your scratches, and most everything else and won't leave any slimy creams or goo to fight with later. It won't harm the glass and won't do anything with 'magnifying stuff' either.

JC Whitney sells a kit, as does a couple of other suppliers.

This stuff is the mother of all glass cleaners.

I used mothers metal polish on my glass and it got rid of all of the water marks and made it look really good.
