I was also looking for it before but to no avail... esp those that can cover larger scratches...

If the glass is scratched......there is no way you can remove them.

It is different for acrylic which you can polish it off.

The polishing actually slowly "sands" away the glass.. so the glass at that area gets thinner and thinner until the scratch is gone... although it's relatively safe, i've heard that it actually harms the structural integrity of the glass..

beware that the scratch part will be your weakness point of the tank. If pressure keeps applying on that area, it will develop to a crack....
