 	Since we are talking about scratched glass, do you
 	have any ideas on how to remove scratches from the
 	face of a CRT?

 I use Jewelers rouge I got from a Jeweler friend many
 years ago. It works well on surface scratches such
 as those you get from laying the monitor on the tube
 face. 
Any particular grade of rouge? I've got a couple of lenses with minor 
scratches that would probably benefit from gentle polishing. But the 
jeweler's catalogue I've just looked in (H.S. Walsh) lists about a dozen 
polishing compounds, none specifically for glass. Or doesn't it matter 
too much? Jeweler's rouge is amongst them (and is not too expensive).

Hi Tony
 You can order the right stuff for optical work from
places like Newport Glass and William-Bell. You can also
use cerium oxide ( what I prefer to use ). It is a liitle
less messy than rouge and slightly faster.
