Planning to use on glass, mate.

Re: How to use cerium oxide correctly?
Would you care to share a little more info? Where you got it, how severe of a scratch will it remove, does it need to be fallowed up with anything to regain clarity?

Re: How to use cerium oxide correctly?
i bought it through my friend who own a body shop.
i think it can remove moderate scratch. but not to deep.
i dont think it need fallowed up product after using cerium oxide, cause the abrasive is like diminishing abrasive, it break down.
just simply top it with water repellent.
lets wait for Mike Phillips to explain further...
can't wait...

Re: How to use cerium oxide correctly?
I have used this before and it is not a fun process. First the right combination of CO and water is necessary, to get the correct consistency of the paste you are ultimately applying to the glass. One of the hardest things about using this product, is you need the right type of pad to work this product on the glass and you cannot, under any circumstances over heat or buff/polish in the same spot for too long. It will leave distortion in the glass that is easily seen. If this is the windshield, you can wind up marring the glass to the point it is not repairable.
Ultimately with these precautionary information provided, the process is really not much different then polishing paint, in the sense that you want to slowly work across the affected area, not keeping the polisher in the same spot. You will need to have lots of patience, where unlike a soft or even hard clear coat, glass polishes down very slowly and you do not want to rush it. Ultimately, I have found that CO is much quicker at leveling scratches in glass, but can easily be applied incorrectly.
You will want to check your work regularly. If you want a less stressful way to level some scratches in your glass, might I recommend the Diamondite Glass Resurfacing kit. It is much easier to work with, less mess, includes all the pads and chemicals needed and with the proper patience can produce the same results. AG sells the kit in their store.

Re: How to use cerium oxide correctly?
Should anybody care:
Applications
Cerium(IV) oxide is used in ceramics, to sensitize photosensitive glass, as a catalyst and as a catalyst support, to polish glass and stones, in lapidary as an alternative to "jeweller's rouge". It is also known as "optician's rouge".[2]
It is also used in the walls of self-cleaning ovens as a hydrocarbon catalyst during the high-temperature cleaning process.
While it is transparent for visible light, it absorbs ultraviolet radiation strongly, so it is a prospective replacement of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide in sunscreens, as it has lower photocatalytic activity. However, its thermal catalytic properties have to be decreased by coating the particles with amorphous silica or boron nitride.
The safety of the use of these nanoparticles, which can penetrate the body and reach internal organs, has been criticized.[3]
