I just finished restoring a 1929 visible gas pump with the original glass
cylinder. The bottom of the cylinder had some rust and other deposits on
it. I used grey scotchbrite, lightly, and it worked well. I did not see
any scratches when done. I also worked in a little water to lubricate.
Good luck

Here's a re-post of a message from 2012. I'm not aware of anyone responding
with additional Scotch pad colors.
"The pads of different
colors are of different hardness. Green will most definitely scratch glass.
Generally, white will not scratch glass and can be safely used on shower
walls, etc. There are also at least a maroon and a grey generally found at
auto supply stores which are suitable for working out scratches in stainless
steel which has a visible "grain".
I have used white successfully on a glass shower wall and the gray and
maroon worked wonders to restore a stainless kitchen exhaust hood someone
had previously marred by applying an abrasive cleaner in a circular motion.
However, gray and maroon will scratch or cloud stainless with only a plain
smooth finish.
