Can I use a blue point micro surface prep tool to remove the scratches from my windows without messing them up? The scratches arent deep but they are eveywhere on all of my windows.. item number is at402mca. It is used with an air compressor. has levels low and high..

I personally would never use this type of "grinder"
in an attempt to polish scratches from auto-glass.

And:... to AGO!!

Use a DA, CarPro rayon glass polishing pads, and Cerri Glass. It's a tried and true method. There are multiple write ups here how to do it. Any other combo - let us know how it comes out and good luck.

I'm going to say yes, I have the exact one and have used when polishing headlights. The main issue is the small orbit, like 3/32, takes a lot longer than a larger throw machine.

here's another question lol.. could i use a buffer from harbor frieght and get great results.. i dont wanna buy an expensive buffer for a one time kinda thing...

Hey Bob, the tool in question is actually a da sander, made for nib sanding dirt spots. It has a very small orbit, making it really nice for finish sanding. I would say its similar to the small rupes, but with a smaller stroke/ orbit.

I've used both, and yes you can do descent with a harbor freight, provided you have prior experience using them.

Are you asking about the harbor freight da, or rotary buffer?

i just dont want to mess up my auto glass... im trying to do it right. and i just read up on harbor freight and you can't put any pressure or anything on them... be a waste of money imo.. since your saying its fine to use this little tool im going to give it a shot. do you think id get great results? im a newbie to all of this so all advice is well taken.. i also thought about one of those dewalt polishers. on amazon they are pretty cheap... but if this tool will work i rather save the money. its just a one time deal or maybe a Porter Cable 7424XP

The Harbor Freight DA is a powerful tool. Many pro's use it. You can put pressure on it. It's more powerful than a PC. If your looking for a DA that is powerful with a lifetime warranty - get a Griot's 6" DA. That's what I use to correct glass on speed 6. It's quite powerful. Many threads here, just search.
