Extreme Glass Restoration

[Dapper Don]

I was a little skeptical about glass defect removal, but this changes all of that. Absolutely amazing. So do you feel that using a rotary vs a DA is key here?

Great job. That gives me some ideas. I notice that there is an air deflector on there. How did you deal with it?

Nice! I have some new glass pads coming to take care of the van who has seen her share of stone chips and etching over the years. Will do it later this week.

You will not remove stone chips.

You will not remove stone chips.

That's right, we are removing a layer from the glass down to the bottom of the stone chips.

I've tried removing wiper blade scratches from glass using a DA before. but to be frank, it did not remove a single scratch. A rotary did the job with the same compound. You can try the rotary. with some precautions and common sense, you'll be able to fix glass defects.

Thanks a lot Tim, you need to slightly lower the window. it will allow to buff around the top edge. But tape/mask that area from inside to prevent polish residue from getting inside the car.
Even without the deflector you may need to do this.

Pretty cool ,nice recover.

Thanks a lot Mate

Great job. Thanks for sharing

Thanks a lot Priyaka. Still learning here

Wow, nice save! Looking good. Nice work.

Thanks for chiming in Mike. it's more than a year, not detailed any ride. Now getting back slowly with a new workshop.

Great save on the window. Do you have to seal the glass after using cerium oxide or just leave it ?

Thank u java

Of course, you need to coat or seal it.

dont't remember if I've used DP sealant or Menzerna powerlock, there are a glass sealants available locally here. the typical protection from a sealant here (based on local weather) is -/+ 2 months).

If you coat for longer protection, the better.

cheers

Thanks for the reply! I'm going to be my windshield and getting some info before doing it.

Exactly what I was thinking.
