Extra Pro tip: Have an accent. Here in Texas I don't have one so I had to polish more but this worked on my Jaguar F-Type windshield to remove scratches and a chemical stain that would not come off any other way. I tried everything and I had to use Cerium Oxide on a wool pad in a way this video described and it worked. Took two hours and going over it multiple times. But it worked.

I've tried doing this and whilst I got the deep scratches out, I'm left with a massive abrasive and hazy section that won't come out. I've used all the pads. Is there a specific grit sandpaper I can use to remove the abrasion? I started off with a few deep scratches, now I'm left with a big square abrasive haze!
@GlassPolishShop2 жыл бұрын
Hi, You need to use the blue abrasive a lot more! If you have a hazy area after polishing it is more than likely you have not used the blue pad enough and still have marks left over from the green. If you have used the blue twice as long as the green it should polish up straight away.

I'm curious about the optic distorsion seeing through the glass and sideway, how important is it ?
@GlassPolishShop Жыл бұрын
When using the abrasive pads is where you can create a distortion in the glass. You have to be mindful not to concentrate on one specific are for too long and try to use a bigger are to smooth it out on the rest of the pane. staying on one spot will create a dish like distortion and using too much of the edge of the backing pad will make it bounce on the glass causing ripple effect. Done properly there should be no distortion looking head on through the glass. Even with some tempered/toughened glass there is some natural distortion looking sideways on at the glass it also depends on how much damage you are removing and how deep the damage is.

@southbayclearvue6 ай бұрын
To help with optic distortion, make sure to keep the grinding discs as flat as possible. Keep heat to a minimum. Bellow 120 degrees Fahrenheit would be best. To keep the grinding disks as flat as possible, it is best to use larger discs and a machine that is not a drill. A automotive type polisher is best for this as you can place your hand flat on the head of the polisher to hold the grinder on the glass, being careful not to press too hard. Let the abrasive do its job, pressing too hard will make it dig unevenly into the glass. Another tip to avoid distortion is to keep the glass clean and dry. There is no need to touch the glass as he did, use an inferred thermometer to check temp. The oils from your hand will make the grinding disc slip thus leaving a high spot where you touched it. Also, hot glass and cold water is a recipe for broken glass. Lastly, instead of only doing side to side motions while grinding, also do up and down motions. Alternating each time you go over the repair area. Always step out the repair area half the width of the grinding disc each time you do a pass. Hope this helps! 😊

This is a standard electric drill, with a recommended RPM range of 1500-2200. We recommend using a corded drill rather than a battery-powered one, as it allows you to maintain a consistent speed while applying pressure during polishing.

@GlassPolishShop11 ай бұрын
It seems that the polishing process is highlighting the existing hairline scratches. This can happen when the compound penetrates the tiny scratches, making them more visible. • Before proceeding with the polishing stage, it's crucial to ensure that all scratches are adequately removed. Spend extra time with the blue GlasX60 abrasive, focusing on achieving a nice, uniform haze across the area without any visible scratches. • Once you have achieved a uniform haze without visible scratches, proceed to the polishing stage.

This information is typically found in one of the corners of the glass. • Examine the window glass closely. Some coatings, like Low-E (Low Emissivity) coatings, may not be visible to the naked eye. However, if there's a reflective or tinted appearance to the glass, it might indicate the presence of a coating.

How long did this whole process take?
@GlassPolishShop Жыл бұрын
Thank you for your inquiry. The time required for the process really depends on the depth of the scratches and the size of the area. In the video, the scratches were quite deep, and as a result, the entire process took about 40 minutes. Keep in mind that for shallower scratches or smaller areas, the process might be quicker.

Hi, I sanded down my glass shower panel (1 out of 3) which was horribly etched due to 12 years of limescale. I think i have not used the blue disc enough, as after i used teh 3.5micron cerium oxide paste, I still have haze. My question is which is the best paste to use for polishing? On your website you have 3.5micron, 2.5, 2.3, 1.2 as well. I only have the highest grade right now, which one should i use as a final polishing step, 2.5 or 1.2?
@GlassPolishShop Жыл бұрын
Thank you for your inquiry. If you have sanded glass using our abrasive discs, we recommend using GP-PRO glass polishing compound (2.3 microns) for the final polish. Please note that in order to polish the glass, you will also need a felt polishing pad. If you need further assistance, please feel free to leave a comment or send us an email at contact@glasspolishshop.com

My automotive glass just experienced driving through a dust storm. Passenger side windows are spotted with white sand grain marks that won't come off with claybar or polish. Glass is smooth to the touch though. Any chance this product can improve the appearance?
@GlassPolishShop2 жыл бұрын
Yes with this kit you will be able to sand down the glass until the spots are removed and then polish the glass back to its original condition, please bare in mind that if the impact was strong and caused deep etching in the glass it would be similar to damage caused by sandblasting, this type of damage can take considerable time to repair and in some cases more than one attempt will be required to achieve a perfect repair.

Just be careful your glass doesn't have a factory anti glare coating applied to it.

Whether it's scratches, haziness, or any other issue, providing us with these details will help us provide you with more precise guidance.

there is a product called "nothin's better". It is used for removing water spots. I used it on my car that would sit and get sprinkler spots on the windows. I have been using it on my shower doors for years. to do it easier, take the shower doors off and lay them flat. If these are permanent panels, it will take a bit more work. Try it on a small spot to see how much work is involved. Use paper towels, not a rag or towel, as the powder will just go into the cloth and not work. a little water, powder and some elbow grease and it works great. It doesn't take much. a little goes a long ways. Use like you would cleanser. Once it's clean, use a squeegee after showering so you won't have to do it again for a long time.

No need to use sander or polishing compounds for removing hard water stains. Just spray muriatic acid or diluted glacial acetic acid (50-80% v/v) and brush with a soft bristle brush. Finally clean off with a jet of water.

Hello, I have a question I’d like to ask. Is it possible to remove/repair waviness in the glass, made by abrasive discs? Polishing of the scratch in the windshield came out good, but cutting into glass made the glass rippled and hard to see through. Thanks for the answer.

You can try to go back over it with the abrasive but you must keep the pad flat on the glass and not use the edge of the pad as this what has most probably caused the waviness and is very hard to put right
