Hey..Goggles made it the entire season all minty until the last day when they fell out of a snow cat and ran across the treads. So know I have 2 faint scratches right in my field of viewand it drives me crazy. Does anyone know a safe product that I can use to buff them out perhaps? Any input would be excellent.

pick up some safety scissors and cut the scratches out. this will remove them permenently. it might be a bit difficiult with safety scissors and i would suggest better scissors but that would cause the situation to be unsafe. so safety scissors i guess would be the safest way to go.

Put some toothpaste on it and rub it all over your lenses. Can't garantuee it will work, depending on how deep those scratches are.
If you do it on the inside of the lenses, prob not but Ill mention it anyway, it ll screw up your standard anti-fog coating, be aware!

I do it to get the scratches of my divecomputers protection screen, they slam against alot of rock/coral and it works. Not sure with lens-material, but I guess trying won't hurt.

It doesn't work very well, but you can just scratch it with your fingernail, and it dulls the scratch down.

middle of season i was fooling around on this super shitty jump that was like a 10 foot gap, so i buttered on the jump then 360'd off with no speed at all so i landed flat and this gaper kid on a snowboard flew off, when he could clearly see me staning RIGHT underneith the jump, and his edge hit me right between the eyes creating a slice in the lense, fun stuff
