Is glass scratched?

[Pepp31]

Hi everyone, I was hoping someone could answer me about the glass on my Avalon Olympic stove. I filled the stove up last night and went to bed and when I woke up I had only coals in the stove like normal. The problem is I also had my glass marked with what looks like an area shaped in an oval in the center of the glass, white in color and finely scratched all over in the oval. This is my third year burning the stove and this has never happened before. I have tried to get the scratches out with ash and glass cleaner to no avail. What can be done or is the glass trashed?

It will seal up the porus surface and the scratches.

LLigetfa will that particular cleaner actually bring my glass back to new? I have tried everything and the big white haze area will not go away.

It's certainly worth a try. I use it on my glass and it does seal up the glass keeping it cleaner, longer. I'm guessing you can feel a rough texture on the hazy area when you wipe it. Areas on my glass that are rough before treatment, feel slicker'n catshit on a linoleum floor when I put that stuff on.

Whether or not it will make it "like new", I couldn't really say. If it is really bad, you might have to buff it out with a polishing compound.
