[@SolomonIsAwesome]

Appreciate that y’all showed the remaining defects!

[@rustyjeep2469]

Thanks for the clear concise video. I’m a big fan of the CeriGlass and CarPro rayon pads. I had a 25 year old Jeep that sat outside probably all it’s life and had really bad water spot etching. Used the CarPro products on a PC 7424 and it was a bit of work but removed 100% of them.

[@Totyroby]

I literally just used their kit that took care of my water spots big time! Works wonders

[@nicksdragon6929]

I've been waiting for this video, great timing as I'm just getting ready to take your advice on how to take on water spots on the glass.

[@captaina4458]

Didn’t have my polisher with me today or my glass polishing pad and glass compound. But somehow I had Suds Factory water spot remover, a drill and a Mother’s polishing cone...man it came out great!

[@davedave2941]

Been using CeriGlass & rayon pad for water spots and glass maintenance for a few years now ... then apply your glass coating. I use the CeriGlass in my home on shower glass 👍🏽 To get glass polished to a level of corrected perfection have to use water mist - CeriGlass - rayon pad - low polish spreed - repeat ... it is just a PITA.

[@gdn86]

Water spots were easy, but now I can see all the scratches. Time to get it masked off and really spend some time getting a lot of the pitting/scratches out. I'm definitely sealing it after and adjusting my sprinklers this Spring.

[@The_BIG_salad]

My 67 Buick Electra has that same old school blue tinted glass, it very badly needs a good buff/polish but all videos I find are with newer car glass. Glad you posted this

[@TheMstwntdLMSV123]

What glass coating did you use? Awesome video!

[@scon3211]

Super vidéos merci ! Beaucoup apris

[@tonymontana897]

Glass is a mongrel to work with. You can spend up to an hour just in one small area. You must use the Rayon pad, a sponge interface pad if your backing plate is the rigid type and Ceriglass. You also need to mist the area with water as you go to keep the temperature down and use a fresh top up of Ceriglass with each pass. You'll probably do around 20 sets to effectively remove etching and mild abrasion such as wiper blade defects. Those scratches you can feel with your nail, will not come out.

[@mark092902]

I think your suggestion is pretty correct.

[@gregsullivan7408]

The specialists do it much faster 😉 : kzbin.info/www/bejne/haablqSjh8qmhKM (be interesting to see them do a curved surface though)

[@GlassGenius]

​@gregsullivan7408 for an example of whats possible, If you are familiar with porche 356 they have a small rear windshield with a extreme curve through it. I did a full surface grind on both sides of the glass. It can be done by requires alot of experience.

[@victor4091]

I'm scared of Cerium Oxide but my side window is etched pretty bad after an acid cleaner dried on it, I tried a cutting compound (M105) but didn't do absolutely anything, not even one bit, is my only option Cerium Oxide?

[@tonymontana897]

@@victor4091 Yes, it is. You need to be able to cut into the glass and the oxide helps with this. Don't be scared if it. Treat it like any polish. Same process.

[@guychou9505]

Merci beaucoup pour l'information

[@TurnerMobileDetailing]

Does the ceriglass with a rayon pad leave a haze that needs to be polished out further or is it clear on its own with that combo?

[@leroyyoder3494]

Loved the 🤷🏻‍♂️, sometimes perfect is not possible. Thanks for the information.

[@andrewweil7943]

For any scratches you can catch a nail in, you'll Def have to wet sand. Start at 600 to be conservative but will most likely have to jump to 400,220,180. Just did my side rear Chevelle glass, came out great but needed 180 on a 3" polisher to get the deep ones out. Pretty time consuming having to go all the way back up the grits to 600/800 before hitting with Ceri and a 3" rayon. Prob have an honest 90 minutes on just the one window

[@OBS.Rey__]

What kind of polisher DA or rotary?

[@andrewweil7943]

​@@OBS.Rey__if it's one or 2 medium scratches it's not that bad. If there's alot of deep ones from morons scratching it up with sandpaper from bodywork it's HOURS and HOURS. Quite understandably most guys just replace the glass at that point. And don't expect to get results using the Cerium glass polish like you would using a paint compound, u have to put ALOT on each time and keep it sludgy and thick. If u put little dabs like a paint polish it won't do crap

[@Madzci]

Did you change the pad to do the windscreen?. Because I have the same prob but limited pads

[@tedmoore7385]

Are you using an interface between the backing plate and the rayon pad ?

[@h99aajh]

I’ve removed scratches to an acceptable level using ceraglass, misting water, a rayon pad, and a 3 inch da polisher with an 8mm throw. However I don’t know how to remove the haze I’ve created. Any tips for which combo I should use? I have access to lots of polishes and pads.

[@johndelano7925]

Would the carpro glass polish take off Gtechnic glass coating?

[@randyk7699]

I live in the Desert. Number one fan #1 What can we put on the windshield to protect it again sand pitting? We have that problems in the desert.

[@kevinholbrook7174]

Thanks bud for a great video of this type of subject. I would like to see another video of the same subject but this time try using scratch & swirl remover?

[@frankcastle6298]

Will this remove swirl scratches from glass?

[@jf3232]

finally water spot removal. been asking around the car spa's in my area. They always said it can't be done. Change the windshield they said..

[@Nalopotato]

There are some great chemicals that do that, too. Iron remover and other water spot treatments that are way less work than polishing

[@jf3232]

Thanks will look in to it

[@stautodetailing2895]

Honestly... You don't need to lose so many time, of you find a good product, like ive found, in 30s you have the water drops fully removed..

[@teshanappadoo704]

Hello beginner with a DA here, How fast should I go and how hard to press to remove watermarks vs removing scratches? Thanks

[@anw0625]

Did you only use the ceriglass and rayon pad?

[@alexkravt3]

what is the maximum temperature of glass? thanks.

[@Blindslim43]

How does compare to p and s clarity creme?

[@jamespalmer2896]

You don’t need any of that for the hard water spots… just a Brillo pad and water or blue ScotchBrite pad. And yes deep scratches can be removed from glass… you take your DA sander and go through the grits until you’re at the point to where you can actually use what you are in this video.

[@jabreegordon7894]

Did you claybar the glass before hand

[@1GQ_gent]

The background music fits the car!

[@stevehastings6802]

Generally speaking I think laminated glass in softer and easier to remove defects from than toughened/tempered glass.. So in modern cars if you've got scratches on the side/back of the car you've got no chance!

[@altillman1448]

Those stating use cerium oxide powder in the comments. Its already IN Ceriglass! "CeriGlass represents a cutting-edge solution to glass correction with a blend of Ceramic abrasives, Cerium Oxide, and Nanotechnology ingredients. Replacing the messy glass polishing powders of old, CeriGlass glass correction compound safely removes severe water spots and light scratches without surface distortion ensuring perfect clarity of vision and maximum driving safety. Can also be used on Plexiglass, Metal, and Chrome"

[@ojaspadekar659]

I had read it's not recommended to use a DA on glass. Do you recommend using it or do you prefer rotary for this?

[@MyGoToUserName]

I had zero issues using my DA with ceriglass. I also used a glass pad which is extremely thin.

[@chrissemsch8781]

DA,

[@johnrommelt6560]

Who makes the electric Polishing tool?

[@apshambarger]

Great job. Ever consider using the rotary on the heavy scratch or would that be too aggressive?

[@jdisdetermined]

Not too aggressive at *all* the rotary is all I use for glass. You'll be there for hours otherwise if you're after actual scratches. Glass is crazy hard, really nothing is too aggressive. The only real worry is heat warping. Just keep the polisher moving and you'll be fine. Use some heavy pressure along with a spray bottle of water. Cerium abrasives don't disintegrate like paint specific abrasives. So your polish is going to dry out long before the abrasives are spent. I keep the speed around 3, just so the polish doesn't dry out as fast. Check out Autogeeks live training glass polishing video. That's exactly how I do it, and exactly what I use. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmKYn2p3ib-jjNU If you're just going after light scuffs, etching, stains, etc., you can get it done with standard paint correction stuff. But actual defects, you need glass specific materials.

[@ferlottes]

@@jdisdetermined what do you mean by paint correction stuff? Do you mean scratch remover?

[@jdisdetermined]

@@ferlottes Yep. Just regular foam or fiber polishing pads and polishes.

[@ferlottes]

@@jdisdetermined please, help me : I had someone cleaning overspray with steel wool on all my window,,, brand new 4runner. So its like full of millions of small scratches all over. Only visible when sun hits or highlights hits. So, what do you suggest me? Thank you

[@ruwansanjeewa4707]

May I know that chemicales and kinds of pasd please?

[@whissguzman8740]

Could i wet sand with sand paper from 3000 grit and up to 10k and then do the polishing?

I use a squeegee to wipe the water off my glass when washing the car or when I park my car in the garage after it rains.Saves a lot of time later.

[@platinumautoglasswindowtin88]

When you sit in the passenger seat and look out and look where the wiper scratch was/is did you notice that the optics in the glass changed. That’s usually what happens.

[@kevincampbell8298]

A friend of mine who has done lots of them said use a rotary. Does the Ceriflass recommend a DA over Rotary? I have a windshield to do on a Subaru.

[@eric8588]

Glass pad with the ceriglass worked great on my Subaru on a 15 Rupes.

[@kevincampbell8298]

Eric’s Detail Garage I have the glass pads and the griots glass polish, but was inform d I should use a rotary. For a general polish up I just use my DA that I was using for paint.

[@eric8588]

Kevin Campbell Right on. I’ve never used a rotary for glass but the rayon glass pad and ceriglass have yielded great results! 👍🏻

[@keithclark486]

When using rotary polisher on car windows is it required to spray water from time to time? I want to try ceriglass on my car windows and the one i have is rotary polisher.. Do i need to buy expensive dual action polisher?thank you..

[@martin1649]

it's not required, rather recommended, heating the glass up can even crack the windshield, you need to cool stuff down

[@nadinevolkov334]

Wow gorgeous

[@fwdpapi]

One day I will have customers like this.

[@ebreaux82]

Hands down, the best and easiest water spot remover for glass is 3D Eraser Gel. $15 a bottle you just can’t beat it. If you haven’t tried, I highly recommend it!!

[@whiskkers9291]

Yes it works good but its also an acid so you could risk permanently etching your glass if you leave it on the glass too long. Also if you rinse it and it pools on your vehicle somewhere it can cause damage. Just be sure to rinse it with something that can neutralize the acidity.

[@ecarnomics]

Thanks for the video . I got a problem similar to yours but with swirls. I hit the glass with ceriglass and wool, hard pads, medium pads, tried sonax 06-02 and 04-06 but seriously nothing happened . Problem is I can’t find rayon pads here but I am afraid the swirls won’t come out with rayon. Any suggestions? It’s really tiring driving like this .

[@Yorkiepoocharlie]

Seems like water spots on paint return after the paint swells then returns to its normal state. Glass is different with water spots?

[@Carsupplieswarehouse]

Yeah, that will happen on paint, doesn't seem to be the same case with glass.

[@mynsxt6]

To remove the wiper marks requires 70% pumice hand scrub and 30% mother mag and aluminum cleaner, courtesy of Sweet Project Cars youtube channel!!!!!!

What if the window has a factory stained glass tint?

[@wranglerextreme]

Glass is a whole different ballgame compared to paint

[@captaina4458]

Jason Gosnell yes it is. That’s why I always told myself to try my best to perfect glass before paint and I’m very happy I went that route. Also Griots glass correcting system is actually really good.

[@wordtruth6116]

My car has tiny specks all over the windshield that are super visible in the direct sun light. When I run my nail over them I cannot feel anything. Glass is as smooth as new. Any idea what caused them and how I can get them removed? Car is 2018 BMW. Your response is greatly appreciated. Thanks

[@whiskkers9291]

In my experience if its the same small specks I think you're talking about is nothing more then many micro chips in the glass. This is usually caused by sand coming from dump trucks or catching the road grit that comes with interstate driving and being close to the car in front of you; basically you're sand blasting your windshield. Polishing helps a lot because it wears down all those jagged edges that reflect the sunlight. This of course is on a microscopic level. It's smooth to the touch but under a microscope it would probably look more like some jagged rock formation. All of those edges reflect light back at you making them visible and appear to be little sparkling dots. Polish with a rayon pad and use an actual glass polish of some sort. Like he said in this video, don't over heat the glass, doing so breaks down the PVB layer in the glass and can cause distorted vision and all kinds of weird effects. Just be patient with it and take small breaks after a few passes to allow the glass to cool gradually and you will be OK. Hope this helps, maybe someone else can offer some insight in case I'm way off base but this has helped me and several of my clients in the past; I also detail vehicles.

You can be very aggressive with glass. You can sand it down 3M trizact discs to cut faster and then finish with an aggressive cutting compound. Glass is super hard and it takes forever, but it can be done. I've even sanded out rock chips in fog lights before starting as low as 400 grit. Just be aware that it takes FOREVER when taking out deep defects from glass.
