GLASS POLISH 21005 DIY Windshield Polishing Kit, Automotive Glass Polishing Solution

I was going to give it four stars at first, but I changed my mind. However, I will have to reduce it to two if I have more time to assess its effectiveness. The product appears to work because it reduces some fine scratches and makes the windshield clearer by removing not only the scratches but also other contaminants on the glass. However, if you look at headlights and drive at night, you'll notice that the scratches and swirls are mostly still present, albeit reduced. As a result, oncoming headlights are distorted, and light sources coming through your windshield appear fuzzy and hazy. At first, I thought this was the best I could do with my 14-year-old windshield, but it's distracting and potentially dangerous, and it turns out that you CAN do better. And while I don't know everyone else, this is what matters to me and why I'm attempting to correct it - Oncoming traffic and driving at night. br>br>While using the felt pad and cerium oxide solution is a good idea, the cerium oxide mixture in this package, as well as the quality and size of the felt pad, is incorrect and insufficient to complete the task. The cerium oxide is too fine/weak, and the felt pad quality and size are insufficient to cut deep enough into the glass to smooth it out. Yes, if you do it often enough, it will eventually get there for small areas and scratches, but I've done my entire windshield twice on two different cars, with each session lasting one hour. The distortion and scratches haven't gone away after two hours. Because this is my first time, I assumed that maybe I wasn't using the drill correctly (not enough or too much rpm or pressure on the glass and the kind of motion required) or that there wasn't enough of the mixture and water spraying, and that it was my technique, not the tools, that was at fault. br>br>The CORRECT method, if you want to do the entire visible view of the windshield right and not a small scratch, is to get powder cerium oxide and mix And this is exactly what I did, with completely different results. I spent a lot of time doing this for both of my cars, and if you need to do the entire windshield, do yourself a favor and get the powder and mix it yourself, as well as use a larger pad and, if possible, a rotary polisher or sander (as with a drill, the larger pad size may make it difficult to maintain consistent contact with the glass). You'll get much better polishing and correction for a lot less time and effort; amazon sells an 8 oz cerium oxide (which will cut much more than this solution), as well as a 5 inch backing pad and felt pad for about the same price. Although I spent a little more money on trial and error, I hope this review saves you time, effort, and money.

The results are the same, but they are significantly less expensive. Even though it works, the amount you receive is so small that you won't be able to accomplish much. I figured that for the money I spent, I'd get a decent-sized bottle. This is not the case. It's a small travel shampoo size, and it's not even full. I got about half way through a window before realizing I wouldn't be able to finish the car. Then it occurred to me that I should get some Glass Stove Top Polish. It was a cinch to use and a lot less expensive.

It's impossible for me to believe. Because it was 5 a. m. , I accidentally scratched up my window. Coffee me was a moron and grabbed my mini snow shovel instead of my scraper (in the dark, they look the same!). Before I realized what I had done, I went to town on my driver's side window. It had been a nightmare. I used my cordless drill to polish it for under 10 minutes (it recommends a corded, more powerful drill, but this was all I had) and cleaned it off, and the huge scratches were gone! There's one tiny little scratch left, but it's near the top of the scratches and I think I just didn't polish it well enough; I'll probably go over it again at some point, but it's a huge improvement over what it was before! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this! It was still dark in the first photo, but you can see the large patch of scratches; in the second photo, you can't see them at all! It's almost as if it's a miracle!.

I was completely destroyed by a flock of birds at work just a few weeks after receiving my Tesla Model S. I didn't park under a tree, but luckily for me, my car looked like it had been bombed by a daisy cutter of bird crap, and the front windshield in particular looked like it had been bombed by a daisy cutter of bird crap. There was a light rain on the way home, and the streaking on the windshield was making it difficult to see. When I turned on the wipers, all I could hear was grinding on the glass as the blades hit some of the blobs. Pelicans, seagulls, who knows what kind of birds they were, but there was a lot of sand or grit deposited, and with just a few wipes, I managed to scratch my windshield three times, each one nearly six inches long! I washed the car when I got home, and sure enough, the scratches were deep enough that I could feel them with the tip of my fingernail. I was enraged, to put it mildly. br>br>I looked online and found this product, which I purchased from Amazon with low expectations. I had nothing to lose, and the scratches were particularly bothersome at night, when they reflected light directly into my eyes while driving. I followed the instructions, and with the white paste highlighting the scratches after the first pass with the drill and pad, they appeared even more visible. I decided to press harder and spritz the area with water to lubricate it further, as the paste was drying quickly. I would inspect the area after each pass and wipe away all the residue. I noticed a difference after the second pass; the edges began to fade, and the scratches were completely gone by the third pass. I couldn't believe it and asked others to check it out, but no one could see any damage. This product does exactly what it claims; however, you should be realistic about its capabilities. Surface scratches are repaired, if not completely removed, but deep gouges and cracks are not. br>br>I'm very impressed with this product; it saved me hundreds of dollars, and while I'm still looking for that winged artist who painted the Picasso on my car, at least now I know what to do if I'm ever tagged again.

pass. If your goal is to polish some glass with minor scratches, this MIGHT work if you put in a few hours of effort and use a lot of pads. How do you get rid of wiper marks? Nothing but a waste of time. I worked on a 4 inch piece for 25 minutes, and while it removed the faint stuff around the edges, it didn't come close to doing the job. In fact, I used some old Turtle Wax hand paste compound I had laying around on another piece of the same scratch with a 4 inch yellow Lake Country cutting pad on a DA and got a similar result with less effort; I'm going to try and return it because it wasn't even close to doing the job.
