J.greenroyd Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I saw on another website the other day that you can buy a pad and polish to do glass. Does this take out scratches in the glass? If not whats the point to polish with just the glass polish/pad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BKazzle Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Most of the time they're used for getting water spots off of glass and help eliminate any hazing as well. A polish might help with surface scratches but I doubt deeper ones. I'm willing to bet these polishes are no different than Adams fine Machine polish because I used they're setup on my shower glass doors and they are perfectly clear now. Of course I clayed and cleaned as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polishing glass with a rotary is pretty much a must. BKazzle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polishing glass with a rotary is pretty much a must. That makes sense...my bet was wrong. Never used a glass polish and was just stupidly speculating. Weird though because they usually advertise glass polish as getting rid of water spots and hazing, yet I've used others' paint polishes in the past and now Adam's least aggressive one with good results. I suppose they would help with worse imperfections since glass is hard, but when do you just give up and get a new, say, windshield...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revive hand polish would do that in most cases. Light scratches or removing light pitting you need something heavier and a rotary. If you can catch your finger nail on it, it isn't coming out.

0 Ralfy Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Ah dylan posted a bronze wool pad and compound on here a while back. Maybe a search will bring it up but he said it will remove all scratches in glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Team Adam's Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Glass is much much much harder than paint, so it takes heavy abrasives to really correct glass. I've done it a few times myself and its also a very messy process. Cerium (sp?) Oxide and a bronze wool pad + rotary buffer is what it took for me to remove glass scratches caused by a razor blade (someone carved male genitals into a friends window). Most every paint polish and pad combo is only really going to scour and clean the glass really well... it lacks the power to do actual correction. 07RS4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
