    what type of pads to polish glass

    about to use wg glass polish for the 1st time.

    do i simply just use lake county pads that i use for paint polish ...

    using whichever pad i feelbis required based on glass condition?

    ie...using orange or white ....

    one time polish and be done..or do i need to 2 stage it based on pad cut used like car paint?

    tks guys..

    If you are wanting to remove scratches one might use Ceriglass to remove scratches. They make glass polishing pads too for scratch removal.

    Most of the time I clay the window and simply polish with a white pad. Follow that with a window cleaner maybe... some eraser... coat it and forget it.

    Others will chime in.

    Re: what type of pads to polish glass

    I normally use a Megs microfiber cutting pad as it cuts through the film quicker than a foam pad and I don’t have to worry about sling with proper pad prep.

    Re: what type of pads to polish glass

    tks guys..
    if using a flex 3401 da.. am I looking at topside speed setting of 5.. or amp up to 6..

    using a white LC force hybrid pad … -

    does WG glass polish require a 6 pass method like their paint polishes.. or just polish until you are satisfied with results.

    I have not tried to remove those types of scratches, but from what ive read ..ie..tinting windows /tool scratches in glass..if you can catch the scratch with your fingernail.. not removable scratches...

    Yes. Sometimes. Messy. Ceriglass and glass pad.
