I have large glass table and it's acquired some scratches over time.
How can I remove or soften scratches on my glass table top?

Over the years I've never found a way to successfully remove scratches from a glass table top. However, I did find one good solution in a specific situation which may or may not help you. On an outdoor rattan coffee table with a tempered glass overlay I spray painted the scratched side and flipped it over. It looked great - the scratches disappeared. Not something you'd want to do in every situation but it worked for me.– HoneyDoSep 19 '20 at 16:34

Is an opaque finish an option? You could scuff the whole thing...– Aloysius DefenestrateSep 19 '20 at 17:18

Toothpaste! Not gel, but the white paste. Little on a rag and with light pressure, rub in circles. The spot where you buffed will look different.– GunnerSep 19 '20 at 20:42

if the scratch is white, clear nail polish cuts down the appearance.– dandavisSep 21 '20 at 2:18

There are commercially available glass polish products that can be helpful and this is an example:
Get such a product and follow the manufacturer's instructions for use. Keep in mind that polishing scratches can take considerable time since you must remove quite a bit of material over a reasonably large area to get the scratch out.
There are also some products that claim to be able to fill scratches in glass but I've not had any success with any of them.
I have used jewelers rouge and a Dremel on low with a cloth disk. This has worked on my dive watches that have a very hard mineral bezel. The problem with a large scratch the buffing will hide the scratch but there will be a slight optical variation but that is less visible than a scratch.
