Re: How to remove tiny pinhole pits in glass windows using a rotary buffer
My windshield is in desperate need. Since this project is very product dependent... do we have any word on when said products will be back in stock, or 2. if there are any suitable substitutes to do the job??
Re: How to remove tiny pinhole pits in glass windows using a rotary buffer
great thread
I ordered the DP high performance glass restorer just the other day. Could this be used in place of the diamondite products to remove the pitting? or is the DP glass restorer only chemical cleaners designed to remove the water stains? (the water stains were really the reason for purchase)
Any pad recommendation for the DP glass restorer?
edit: just noticed this was in the diamondite forum. sorry. just trying to compare another glass polishing product that AG carries

Bump for feedback on this one. I have everything except for a compound product. Since the Resurfacing Creme restock continues to be a mystery, it's either going to be Diamonfast cerium oxide, or the above mentioned DP is it can be used.
Edit: Appears that the DP can be substituted for the Diamondite polish only, it doesn't abrade.

Timely post...
I checked with Jason today to see if he's found anymore bottles of our resurfacing creme and he handed me two bottles, neither quite full. So I'm going to send you one of the bottles and Luke aka 83hurstguy the other bottle.
Besides that the other option is to locate bulk Cerium Oxide on the Internet and order some and then make your own slurry using basically just some water.
Remember my cautions in the beginning of this thread about how messing buffing with cerium oxide glass polishes can be and take the necessary precautions.
As for me... I COVER EVERYTHING UP!
LOL :laughing: as it's kind of messy...
Here you can see the two bottles Jason gave me in front of my monitor as I typed this reply...
Please e-mail me your shipping address and I'll get your package processed today.

Ahh, how I love this place... :dblthumb2:
You rock Mike!
Re: How to remove tiny pinhole pits in glass windows using a rotary buffer
Mike, have you ever used Rhodite? I noticed it's not in the store, so I wasn't sure if it's been tried or not. I've never personally used it but saw it on one of those weekend car shows.

Not that I know of...
I've tested unmarked glass polishes for evaluation and benchmarking against known products, but I don't always know what the product is or it's origins.

I have the glass polishing pads and the Diamondite Restorer, what speed setting should I use? Wish I could find some of the Resurfacing Creme!

Which type of tool are you using?
What are you trying to accomplish?

Re: How to remove tiny pinhole pits in glass windows using a rotary buffer
Mike is it possible to use any of this stuff with a PC DA polisher? (non XP) or a cordless drill that can be plugged in? I was going to buy a kit for drill use but a lot of them say to set to 1800 RPM for instance like you used on the rotary, but my drill just has a trigger and clutch resistance settings. I did recently inherit an old fully electric drill but I suspect it does not have speed settings either.
