To begin with I would like to thank Corey "CEE DOG" for posting one more incredible review. I dont POST a lot but I do READ a lot and the reviews that corey does (along of course with everyone else in this forum) are truly essential to help us achieve better results in our passion that is called car detailing. So once again Thank You Corey.
I would also like to share my experience with CeriGlass in an effort to provide more feedback on this new product.
I received today my CarPro CeriGlass Kit and Corey's review couldn't have been posted in a more appropriate time. After reading and watching I went back in the garage to start polishing off my front windshield. Along with the Ceriglass Kit I ordered and received the following :
1.Lake Country 5.5" Glass Polishing Pad - (GPP) Lake Country 5.5 Inch Glass Polishing Pad (http://www.autogeek.net/lc-glass-polishing-pad.html)
2. Lake Country 4" Glass Cutting Pad - (GCP) Glass Polishing Pads, glass cutting pads, glass leveling discs, abraded discs, auto glass polish (http://www.autogeek.net/glass-polishing-pad-4inch.html)
I ordered both as I didn't know which pad would be the most suitable for the job. The tools chosen to tackle the scratches were :
Flex Pe 14-2
Ceriglass Kit
LC Glass Cutiing Pad
LC Glass Polishing Pad

I found photographing glass scratches very difficult. So i tried to record a brief video in the hopes that it will show the condition of the windshield much better.
So here is a brief close up video trying to show the scratches
Windshield Scratches - YouTube (http://youtu.be/pMVGPLj9gjQ)
So I started with the rotary and the GCP but after a short effort with it I stopped as the pad felt really hard and difficult to conform to the curve of the glass. I felt that I was attacking too strong and keeping in mind the quote "use the least aggressive combination to get the job done" I switch to the GPP. The GPP is not a soft pad by any means. At least compared to what we are used to on paint foam pads, but it is way easier to work with than the GCP.
I spread the polish on the lowest setting of the Flex and then continued to polish at setting nr 2 which is 900 rpm. The Polish gets dried relatively quickly so I either sprayed a fine mist couple of times directly onto the glass or a couple of times on the pad. Spraying does help a lot to extend the polishing time. After repeating the spraying process a couple of times I had to re apply polish.
So considering this one section pass, I had to do 3 passes to achieve these results. It's not a professional video but I think it will give you a good idea of what the polish can do. It takes time and patience, but my windshield looks tremendously better than what it was before. I would say at least 85% better.
So that's my 0.2 for Ceriglass. I hope that helps. If anyone wants to ask any questions that might help clarify something i'll be glad to answer any of them.
So here is the video. Please excuse my funny accent. English is not my mother language.
