Used Griot's glass polish and messed even more...

[DaC]

So today I tried the Griot's glass polish liquid along with their glass polish pad..... the result was a very scratched glass....
I did put a lot of pressure over it.....
Is there a way to fix it ? Maybe trying to polish it again but using light pressure ?
What's the right way to use this stuff ?

Sorry, no pics

I would try lighter pressure and see if it helps

Please post pics. I use the Griots polish on glass all the time and have never scratched the glass with it. It mostly helps with hard water spots. Maybe you had some debris on the pad.

Are you using the Griots glass pad too?

Griot's Garage 3 Inch Glass Polishing Pads, Glass Polishing Discs, Remove scratches from glass, polish water spots

Or maybe the Lake Country pads?

Well this was a new pad... so the debris must came from factory if this was the problem...
But I might now have giving attention very much ti the windshield cleaning although I did clean it when washing the car with ONR but really didn't gave too much attention to it.....

I'll try to get some pics today and post....

Before I use the glass polish and polishing pads I clean the windows with glass cleaner then use a razor blade, if necessary, to remove any stuck on bugs or other debris. I use the glass cleaning clay after that with some Speed Shine. After I do all of that I polish the glass.

I hope this helps.

BTW, the paint cleaning clay works just as well in my opinion.

Ok guys!
I managed to get a couple of good shots from the problem I caused....




What do you guys think ?

Yeah... it hurts.... but you can see from my finger print that these are very thin scratches... and I was wondering if revisiting it with light pressure would help.... if not I'm in for a new windshield......

Light pressure isn't going to abrade the glass and level the upper surface with the lowest depths of the scratches.

You need a rotary buffer, the glass cleaning pads and a glass polish that contains cerium oxide. I don't think the Griot's contains cerium oxide and currently we're still out of stock in our Diamondite Line.


I had a brand new windshield with the built in antennae and tinting across the top for less than $150.00 and it was done at my house.

I thought it was a great deal.
