Small Scratch on Window?

Noticed a small hairline scratch about an inch in length and the width of a strand of hair on fairly new windows!
It is so slim that i can't get it to appear on a photo using my phone, I'm not sure if to contact the window company or if to try one of these internet video tips with toothpaste.
Anybody experienced this themselves? :|
Enjoy everyday like it's your last!

    Go to the company or ignore it.
    Some idiot from ukwindowclean scrastched mine, probably using a key to remove bird poo. They denied it. I decided it was too much effort. I don't look at the sport anyway.
    But if it's new do goto the company and see how good they are. A new sealed unit is probably £50 and and hours time to them.

    I heard nail polish is good, ask the glazing manufacturer if they recommend anything!

    Don't bother, you'd be wasting your time. Jewelers Rouge is what you need. Complaining wont get you anywhere as your description is well under what's allowed regarding imperfection's etc as per the GGF industry guidelines.  
  • Either get a quote from a professional company to polish the scratch out or leave it alone.
    You could make a real mess if you don't know what you are doing.
