0 THE Mook Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Were you using enough DS for lube? Glass is a much harder surface to scratch than paint is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Team Adam's Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Clay is a non-abrasive process and glass is MUCH harder than clear coat, so the odds of scratching glass with clay are slim and none. Was there any big pieces of contamination in the clay possibly? Sand, a pebble, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 xkwj43z Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 They clay was only used once on my dads car but I made sure I folded it numerous times and spray it a lot with ds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chewy Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I've clayed an awful lot of windows (including in the house) and NEVER had an issue like this. Have you tried cleaning the glass with some APC or something strong? Was there a coat of something on the glass before claying? Glass is SO much harder than clear coat.

0 egott_91 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Possibly just scratches you are seeing after removing all the crap that was on there that you couldn't see before because of the stuff that was on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 scociny Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Just clayed all the windows and windshield in my car a few days ago. I used Adam's glass cleaner with the Adam's Glass Cleaning MF towels to clean up. Both products are amazing and left my glass completely spotless. Maybe you just need to give them a good cleaning to remove all the residue? Hope it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 JBlack151 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Not sure about anyone's thoughts on this, but could the scratches be in result of the clay being used on his Dad's car prior and regardless of the efforts to fold it numerous times it may have had some kind of harsh contaminants that could have caused this? Just my two cents. I always use 1/3 of the clay bar on a vehicle and after that it's done. Only once I've lightly clayed a car and then saved the piece to use on my shower doors.

0 Chewy Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I've used used clay on windows pretty exclusively actually with NO issues. Of course I make sure the clay is fairly clean. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 xkwj43z Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Update: so looking today in the sun I DO NOT see the marring I was seeing before it magically disappered I beliveve it was just residue from possibly the glass sealant. Either way its fixed so I'm happy, thanks for all the input guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man, if my wife ever asked me to do that I'd be hiring a contractor to install all new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
