Aquarium Overhal

I'm in the process of adding new silicon to an old tank. While doing this, I've noticed some light scratches on the tank. It's a dry tank. Was reading about buffing out the scratches, but then a few had warned about doing this as it can make the glass cloudy if not done correctly. Is this true? Other ideas as to how to remove the scratches? None are deep. Did the fingernail test. Thanks!!!

New silicon over old won’t bond. Why are you adding more silicon?

There’s no good way that I’m aware of to polish out scratches in a glass panel of a tank.

Scraped all of the old off. I know that there are products that will take care of scratches. Some are used by automotive centers. Buffing light scratches will work, but I'm afraid of cloudiness if I don't do it right. I'm someone has done this. Thanks!!

I know some one who received a new tank from a manufacturer who had attempted to buff out scratches on the front panel and the cloudiness wasn't visible until after he filled the tank.
I would live with the scratches if it were me. It will lessen the blow when you put your own first scratch in
