Polishing passenger window

[The Guz]

Thank you! I will grab the 150mL.

I ran my finger nail over the scratches again this morning, and my nail isn't catching on anything so hopefully that means it'll be repairable.

Any comments on Lake Country vs Griots for glass polishing pads? Leaning towards Lake Country simply due to their reputation, but I am also a fan of Griots.

Get the CarPro pads as they were designed for ceriglass.

It's hard to say 100% from the pictures but to me - it looks like SCUFFING and not actual SCRATCHES.

It's as though the glass is frosty.

If this is the case - then if you watch the video shared and follow the techniques shared - you can fix this.

I've polished a lot of glass in my life and it is more difficult than most people think. But for scuffing, not scratching - it will be easier and faster.

How close are you to Stuart, Florida?

p.s.

Be sure to shake the product well before and during use.

Appreciate the tips from the master himself! I would agree that it is more like scuffing. I was so confused when I came out to my car because I have no clue what would even cause this. Do you think I still need to use the DA polisher or are scuffs manageable by hand? Also is temperature a concern with this? We are entering winter here in Illinois (AKA, very far from Stuart, FL :P). I don't know how many more days I'll have with above freezing temperature.

Unfortunately out of stock, but I can wait for them if you think it is worth it!

You can either wait until they get them here or you can venture off and get them straight from the source. Nobody will fault you if you have to get them some place else.

Dumb question, can I use 3" pads on a 5" backing plate? Since I'm polishing glass, I'm not too worried about the edge hitting paint or other things. Or should I just go ahead and grab the 5" Lake Country?

The griots pads worked fine for me with ceriglass and griots fine glass polish (it has ceridium oxide as well)

Use a 5” pad if you have a 5” polisher.

Any preference between Ceriglass and Griot's Fine Glass Polish? Griot's is a bit cheaper, but I could see that being due to differences in amounts of cerium oxide.

Griots is lighter duty. I would go ceriglass with the scuffing you had. Dont know if Griots would be strong enough

Not trying to poo-poo your glass polishing adventure. But, did you try compounding it to make sure what you perceive to be scuffing isn't possibly some kind of transfer?

The difference is kind of hard to tell by a picture of glass. So, excuse me if I'm way off. I just thought it was a possibility worth raising.

Try to buff it out using a polish or compound you have laying around to see if you can remove the scuffing before getting into all the glass restoring stuff.

I haven't tried any polish/compound. I was reading in other threads that they wouldn't do anything, but perhaps that was because the scratches were much deeper?


I have some DG105/205. Should I just jump straight to the DG105? What pad should I use with it? Or try by hand first?
