DA Glass Correction (scratch removal) with CarPro

Thanks for the write up,a well written one I must say.
Great job:dblthumb2:

I learn so much from this site due to good people as yourself:dblthumb2:
 
Very well written write up with fantastic photography and the instructions (and the glass) couldn't be more clear. Thanks for taking the time to share the knowledge on something not typically covered.
 
I was able to take some sun shots of the glass today.

Here you can see my next project. If you look in the small side window and the top left of the big window, you can see the scratches. That's not a reflection, but defects in the glass.

Here is the whole vehicle cleaned up:

One of the best write-ups I've ever seen, seriously!

I just started getting more requests to remove defects from glass this year - and after reading this thread and your article, you're the obvious guy to ask :)

I'll post some images I took this week from a client's vehicle that has SEVERE marring and scratches (rear window). Please let me know if this is something that can be remedied and refined back to perfection--and what combination of pad/products to use

Of course as always, everyone else is highly encouraged to offer their insight as well! :)

I have only done a little glass polishing on my own vehicle.

What you have there is going to be a major workout

Would I be better off using a tiered approach with Unigrit sanding, and then polish back to a reflective crystalline gloss?

I have a Makita rotary, and a Flex :)
 
Awesome guide for using Ceriglass! As someone else who has also polished glass with the same CarPro combo take Swanicyouth's point about keep Ceriglass wet seriously. Be ready to spray just enough DI water to keep CeriGlass damn but not runny. It'll dry very quickly otherwise.
 
As I noted in another thread, I didn't WW each section or window after I finished it and had the hazing problem mentioned in the OP. I ended up using more Eraser and a waffle-weave glass towel to remove the haze.

But on CarPro's own videos, they suggest letting CeriGlass haze up for thirty minutes before removing it with the same rayon applicator (or pad in this case). I may try that on my next FlyBy30 car, tomorrow.

PS: thanks again for this guide. It gave me the stones to get the products and apply the principles myself!
 
Awesome thread. Does anyone know if using CarPro system on a rotary can produce the same swirl-free result as well?
