I'm also interested in purchasing a scratch removal system.Do any of them The Shat -R- Proof system will get within 3/8 to 1/2 an inch with an edge shroud. For the remaining scratches within the frame to 1/2 inch one could use the edger tool. The main issue that is to be considered here is the depth of the scratches near the frames. If the scratches are minuet then go for it. It the scratches have chips within the scratch then forget it. The odds of distorting the glass is now pretty much guaranteed and the possibility of cracking the glass is very high. I don't recall having this (cracking) happen on tempered panes. Always keep in mind what your labor cost will be compared to replacement with new glass will be. If the glass is excessively scratched damaged then recommend replacement because your labor cost to repair will exceed the cost of new.
I have found that the majority of scratches that are along the frames are from sandpaper. On wood frames as Shawn mentioned is generally from the painter working on the wood surface for preparing it for paint or stain. The drywallers will get there sanding poles too close to the glass and hit the glass as they are sanding the drywall around the glass. Though amazingly enough ALL trades that work around the glass will plead innocent. And the window cleaner is at times the fall guy. Hey, It happens all the time.
Hope this is helpful.
