How to repair your scratched 360° Lenses (Insta, GoPro, etc.)

I keep polishing with Meguiar's ultimate compound to remove all the glare. Now looks like new again.

I tried this and it took 90 percent of the scratch out, there was a deep part that I chose not to keep working for fear I would do more damage, the end result was it left the glass smoothly polished, camera quality shows a small blemish in the picture, probably due to the deep part I chose not to continue polishing, it’s worth trying if you’re not a Professional photographer, and you don’t want to loose your Camera for a few weeks, if not, I believe, insta 360 in Irvine Ca, can be contacted, for repairing these cameras, it worth a call.

You did one thing wrong: don't mask anything and polish the entire lens! You removed the coatings where the scratch was but you have now some irregularities in your image because of that. I polished both lenses on my Hero Max and without coating the image is better than before. Regards from Romania

Looks like you removed a good value of material from the lens, so now the image has some kind of aberration (black book is curved on the final shot). Good attempt though.

What about if you use the remen tool for remove the grey thing like polish

Not sure I know anyone that could live with that result. Did you continue to use this camera alot after this, just curious?

I litterally got the same sort of scratch after my camera fell from 100mm off a stand the day after receiving it 😭 do you see much difference now the reflective coating has been removed? Is that noticeable at the layer edge?

Why not use a dremel tool to polish it out?

Paper towels create scratches. Use cloth. Good job otherwise.
