Totally agree, sanding glass requires Dust Mask, especially if sanding large panes of glass, this is why all our scratch repair kits come with the Dust Mask.

@@GlassPolishShop "Do as I say, not as I did."

@@rogerborg i guess he doesn’t understand he made a video without a mask. Idiot

Why?

@@Martin-xh1hd Sillicosis lol

Hi, The felt polishing pads are Rayon, and the sanding discs are made of silicon carbide

Pro tip: in the absence of an accent, drink a can, or preferably a pint, of Guiness. It is a well known fact that this imbues the drinker with instant elevated levels of Irishness, and thus speeds up the process considerably

you don't believe that you have an accent?

Yes, it can be used on the toughened glass

@@GlassPolishShop thank you

Thank you for your enquiry. Our system can be used to remove graffiti damage. We have received your email and will get back to you within 24 hours.

Thank you for your enquiry. Step one GlasX120 (P180) and step two GlasX60 (P500)

GlasX60 and Glasx120 glasspolishshop.com/abrasive-discs-pads/xnet-abrasives

200 then 120 grade

I’m wondering the same thing did you try it on your aquarium?

When using the abrasive pads is where you can create a distortion in the glass. You have to be mindful not to concentrate on one specific are for too long and try to use a bigger are to smooth it out on the rest of the pane. staying on one spot will create a dish like distortion and using too much of the edge of the backing pad will make it bounce on the glass causing ripple effect. Done properly there should be no distortion looking head on through the glass. Even with some tempered/toughened glass there is some natural distortion looking sideways on at the glass it also depends on how much damage you are removing and how deep the damage is.

@@GlassPolishShop This! Like drywall, glass is not actually perfect most of the time. It is a series of smooth, well spaced waves and undulations. But we will percieve it as flat.

Will this kit work on car windshields?

We recommend using corded drills over the battery operated.

Thank you for your inquiry. If you have sanded glass using our abrasive discs, we recommend using GP-PRO glass polishing compound (2.3 microns) for the final polish. Please note that in order to polish the glass, you will also need a felt polishing pad. If you need further assistance, please feel free to leave a comment or send us an email at contact@glasspolishshop.com

Thank you for your enquiry. Yes of course you can use this product and technique on ceramic glass cooker tops, the only thing to watch out for is the plate ring marks because if they are painted on the top of the hob as opposed to the underside they can easily be removed due to the abrasive nature of this kit. Should you have any doubts or require further assistance please don' hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your inquiry. Yes you can start with the cerium as this will remove most hard water stains on glass.

Hi, You need to use the blue abrasive a lot more! If you have a hazy area after polishing it is more than likely you have not used the blue pad enough and still have marks left over from the green. If you have used the blue twice as long as the green it should polish up straight away.

Our glass polishing compound can be used to polish porcelain tiles with a high gloss finish, however, it will not remove scratches from the tiles.

You can try to go back over it with the abrasive but you must keep the pad flat on the glass and not use the edge of the pad as this what has most probably caused the waviness and is very hard to put right

Two grits, GlasX120 (P320) and GlasX60 (P500)

Hi Steve, thank you for your inquiry. If used correctly you should not distort the glass. You wont need to polish the whole tank but you will need to make the damaged area a little bigger when using the abrasive to avoid getting a distortion and blend it in.

You can use "whitening toothpaste" to remove the "deep" scratches and finally polish the glass with cerium oxide. No need for tools. Newspaper works well as a substrate for these abrasives. Don't go near the windscreen with abrasive pads like Scotch Brite. PS I'm an amateur optical designer and telescope lens(mirror) manufacturer.

@@jeromejooste3493 thanks very much for your advice.

If the scratch cannot be felt with you fingernail then our Pro Polish Cerium should be able to remove the scratch. If it can be felt you may want to use a fine abrasive then the polish.

Hello, Could you please specify the shape of your lens, whether it's Spherical or Cylindrical? Additionally, it would be helpful to know the intended use for the lens. If you can, kindly send us an email with a picture so that we can provide you with more detailed assistance. Thank you.

Yes, this will work on automotive glass.

Our system can be used on both laminated glass and toughened glass

Thank you for your inquiry. We do not recommend polishing glass if the surface is coated with paint or a film, unless the coating is within the glass layers. If the coating is on the outside, it may be removed during the polishing process.

Yes with this kit you will be able to sand down the glass until the spots are removed and then polish the glass back to its original condition, please bare in mind that if the impact was strong and caused deep etching in the glass it would be similar to damage caused by sandblasting, this type of damage can take considerable time to repair and in some cases more than one attempt will be required to achieve a perfect repair.

In other words you’re probably better off getting a new glass

Please send us your polisher make and model so we will check what backing pad will be suitable.

Yeah

All stove tops are different, some are underneath the glass, but most are on the surface. Using the abrasive pads can/will remove the markings. The polish used at the end of the process will not.

We recommend between 1500-2000rpms and the drill with high torque. Most electric drills generate that sort of speed. Try to avoid using battery drills due to low torque. Low torque will slow down the drill while putting pressure on the pad.

Your q of rpm has been answered but most drill don't hv indication of rpm. So does such q make any sense in the first place.

Hi, yes this can be used on toughened and annealed glass.

Our DIY kits are designed for use with an electric drill, however, if you plan to work on the larger areas we recommend a PRO version and a rotary polisher with the variable speed control .

Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, our glass scratch removal kit can indeed be used to remove scratches on ceramic hobs. However, to ensure safe application, we highly recommend using masking tape to cover all "burner outlines" or "cooking zones. circle marks" as they might get removed during the process.

Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your DIY Glass Scratch Removal Kit. While we would love to provide you with guidance on whether you need more pads, it's important for us to understand the specifics of your project to offer the most accurate advice. Could you please send us an email with the following details: The number of panes you'll be working on. The size of each pane. The percentage of damage on each pane. Once we have this information, we'll be better equipped to assess your needs and provide you with tailored recommendations. email: contact@glasspolishshop.com

Hi James, Thank you for your inquiry. Our kit can indeed be used on house windows. However, before you decide to try the kit, please send us an email at contact@glasspolishshop.com with a picture of the window, the size of the pane, and if possible, please mark the scratched areas. We need to assess the size of the damage to determine whether you should choose the DIY or a PRO kit.

If you want to remove pits from the entire windshield, we recommend using a 5" kit with the rotary polisher kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdKBd7md1rG7cqc.html The 3" kit is recommended for small areas only.

Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, we do offer training either at your home or work place or we have a training facility in Dublin, Ireland

Yes, you can use this process on a car windshield.

What item?

You can use a bigger polisher as long as it is a rotary machine.

there is a product called "nothin's better". It is used for removing water spots. I used it on my car that would sit and get sprinkler spots on the windows. I have been using it on my shower doors for years. to do it easier, take the shower doors off and lay them flat. If these are permanent panels, it will take a bit more work. Try it on a small spot to see how much work is involved. Use paper towels, not a rag or towel, as the powder will just go into the cloth and not work. a little water, powder and some elbow grease and it works great. It doesn't take much. a little goes a long ways. Use like you would cleanser. Once it's clean, use a squeegee after showering so you won't have to do it again for a long time.

No need to use sander or polishing compounds for removing hard water stains. Just spray muriatic acid or diluted glacial acetic acid (50-80% v/v) and brush with a soft bristle brush. Finally clean off with a jet of water.

@@soumalyasinha8093 Using a bristle brush, even a soft might scratch the glass. Using muriatic acid might be ok for removing water spots; however, it will not work on the limescale that has already been etched into the glass.

@@GlassPolishShop The acid breaks the scales and loosens them. Why would a soft bristle brush scratch glass?

It seems that the polishing process is highlighting the existing hairline scratches. This can happen when the compound penetrates the tiny scratches, making them more visible. • Before proceeding with the polishing stage, it's crucial to ensure that all scratches are adequately removed. Spend extra time with the blue GlasX60 abrasive, focusing on achieving a nice, uniform haze across the area without any visible scratches. • Once you have achieved a uniform haze without visible scratches, proceed to the polishing stage.

Yes, it can be used on a mirror. We uploaded a short video a moment ago: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y8p2qtKi3uCYZ4E.html

The polishing compound is used only at the end of the process. The two-stage sanding process is performed dry, as you can see in the video.

if you mean how abrasive the pads are, you are looking at green 500 and blue 800

@@GlassPolishShop thankx a lot

We do not recommend polishing glass with coatings, such as Low-E coatings, as the polishing process may result in the removal of the coating.

Thank you for your inquiry. To address light spiderweb scratches, you can use cerium oxide or a glass polishing compound along with a felt polishing pad for effective removal. It is recommended to use a rotary device, such as an electric drill or rotary polisher, for optimal results.

Totally agree, sanding glass requires Dust Mask, especially if sanding large panes of glass, this is why all our scratch repair kits come with the Dust Mask.

If the glass is tinted by the manufacturer, then the answer is yes, you can use the kit. Please refer to the link to watch the video on how we restore the black coffee table: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/naqRZ72W2Jivl3k.html

Thank you for your enquiry. Yes of course this works well on upvc double glazed windows, in fact the glass we are repairing in the video is a double glazed unit.

@@GlassPolishShop Do you need to be aware of anything else that could go wrong, film on the glass etc?

In general no there is nothing else that could go wrong, if you are working on laminated or float glass then you should keep the temperature in check because overheating can cause it to crack, as long as you follow the step by step instructions and take your time you will be fine. If you mean a manufactures coating on the glass then in a double glazed unit the coating is inside the glazed unit so there will be no problem with that. If there is an after market window film on the glass then it has to be removed before any repair can be done.@@TimHarrison1

@@GlassPolishShop Cracking due to heat is my biggest concern. How hot is too hot? How do you know without touching and how often should you spray cold water on it?

You can use an infrared thermometer to check the temperature. If you don't have one, the only way to gauge the glass temperature is by using the palm of your hand. The maximum temperature you can reach during the process depends on the type of glass you are working with. For example, mirror or laminated glass can reach temperatures of up to 48 degrees Celsius, while tempered glass can go as high as 82 degrees Celsius.

I have the same issue, any luck on your end?

Yes, you can use the same method on acid graffiti.

@@GlassPolishShop Much appreciated!

The kit can be used on the outside of the rear window. We do not recommend using it inside of the windshield as the process is a bit messy, and it might be difficult to clean your interior.

Thank you for reaching out and providing detailed feedback on your experience with our kit. We appreciate the time you spent and the effort you put into using the kit. It's essential to note that the green GlasX120 pad you used is designed for scratch removal, and the blue pad (Glas60) is intended for pre-polishing. For extremely deep scratches, we do have a coarser pad called GlasNet200, which is primarily used for grinder and welder splatter removal or very deep scratches. A few tips for optimal performance: • Ensure the sanding discs are completely dry, and the glass surface is also dry. • Make sure the backing pad is completely flat on the glass. • While sanding, maintain a constant speed with your drill and apply moderate pressure. Additionally, if the scratches are particularly deep, you might consider starting with a coarser disc before progressing to the GlasX120. The video tutorials kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdKBd7md1rG7cqc.html demonstrate how and why GlasNet200 discs are used. I hope these tips prove helpful, and if you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out, or drop us an email with your contact phone number, and one of our team members will schedule a phone call. email: contact@glasspolishshop.com

Thank you for your inquiry. The time required for the process really depends on the depth of the scratches and the size of the area.

Hi, • Look for any markings on the glass itself. Manufacturers often label windows to indicate if they have special coatings. This information is typically found in one of the corners of the glass. • Examine the window glass closely. Some coatings, like Low-E (Low Emissivity) coatings, may not be visible to the naked eye. However, if there's a reflective or tinted appearance to the glass, it might indicate the presence of a coating.

The product is available on Amazon: please use the code B007CJJLIY on the Amazon search bar.
