Great to hear.

Guilty

Omg I just did it with a license plate and now I’m here 😂

@@yulissaguerrero8314 lol

@@yulissaguerrero8314 Well do I have a recommendation for you. I literally did the exact same thing. I had a license plate sitting and waiting to be put on my new car and thought this would do the trick. It got the ice off but also scratched the hell out of my windshield.

Awesome. Thank you for watching.

Me too. It was really bothering me but now I can drive with no distraction.

How was it?

did you try and share the result?

@@prernaawasthi7346 I tried it my crack was a bit to deep for this. However if it was just slightly shallower it would have worked perfect. Wound up just replacing the windshield.

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much. :)

Glad it helped

Great info. Thank you.

Let me know how it works. This is a great idea.

It takes a little effort but was so worth it. That scratch was driving me crazy at night. :)

did you do that ? share your thoughts please.

Awesome. Thank you for watching.

Great point.

I really don't think one could make a "hollow" in the glass. It's not like using a belt sander with a grit 60 🤣

Thank you so much. If it’s a light scratch this will help so much.

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much. I was a little worried trying it out on the 430 but it worked well.

Should come out well. Keep us posted.

Thank you so much for watching. Yes, the highest speed possible is what I went with. Take your time and don’t let the windshield get too hot. I didn’t tape anything off and I really can’t tell, so I don’t think that you need to. Let me know how it works out for you.

Thank you so much for the comment. Yes, you can use this on your side windows. Just make sure to take your time and not let it get too hot.

I totally agree.

I do agree. I have one for my old setup but switched to the 77D and a Rode Mic. I guess I still need to work on the sound quality. :)

P

That’s a great question. The colder the windshield the more chance of cracking.

Thank you so much. It’s a Ferrari F430.

In the description

Thank you so much. :)

Lol. Now that will be the only thing I hear when I watch it. Lol.

I had mine in 2012 and it haunts me to his day

🤣🤣🤣

Thank you so much for the email. I used it for just that. As long as the scratches are not deep this product can help.

Let me know how it goes?

It’s a DeWalt. :)

It wasn’t the amount of pressure it was trying to keep it flat against the glass. Yes. I stopped often to make sure it didn’t get too hot.

Significantly but not 100% gone. It made a huge difference.

Thank you so much. A toothpaste is a decent way and a good start, but it will not take out as as deep of scratches.

I wouldn’t use it on plastic. I do have a video on a great product got headlights.

I used both. I did give a firm pressure but the product does the most work.

Absolutely. Just go slow. You don’t want to hear the glass up too much too quick.

You could give this a try but if they are deep, not much you really can do.

@@JohnEngel Let me be a little more descriptive. The swirls lines on the window are lines that have a prismish, glittery shine when the sun hits the glass when you are shiiting in the drivers seat. Hope that helps us touch base John. Thanks for your time. vf

@@victoryfirst2878 what year is the car? It sounds like it’s from the long use of a windshield. Not much you can do for that. You can try to seal it with a ceramic.

@@JohnEngel Thanks John. I will get a new car.

Absolutely.

Absolutely try toothpaste first. I don’t think you will get enough result but it’s worth a try.

⁠thanks for the quick response! I have one streak from the windshield wiper that must’ve scratched having debris. When I run my finger nail on the windshield it barely ticks when I run over it. It’s not deep. I’ve ordered the kit. Thanks! Any advice?

@@austinduriez the kit works well. I think it should do the trick. :)

Absolutely. I did just this.

That’s good to know. Thank you.

Try this link: amzn.to/3TnLwMU

Lol. You obviously have not looked at how much this cost.

I did use firm pressure. Just enough to keep control.

That’s a great question. I have seen scratches from rocks falling off a truck on the highway. It would be deepest at the beginning.

Thank you so much.

Do not do this on side glass. The side glass is tempered and any disruption (especially thermal) can lead to shattering. The windscreen is not tempered.

It will not leave scratches. It polishes it away. There is a slight distortion after during the product but 100% less distraction than before.

@@JohnEngel Did you say this distorts the windshield permanently where it's used?

@@kay9156 It really depends on how much you take off. My scratch was quite deep and it’s not a distortion that you can see while driving. It’s a distortion when you run your hand down the windshield you can feel a slight dip.

@@JohnEngel Thanks for your reply! That sounds a bit concerning though? Now I either have to live with a scratch or a dip in the windshield 😅.

Here is a link to the item. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001RAQGXC/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=engelgroup-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B001RAQGXC&linkId=e6bee5afc95cfad0b5c137322e62f44c

If it’s cracked then I would use a epoxy. If it’s a light scratch than it would work great.

I have been lucky. It was so bad with the scratch that now it’s so much better.

So far so good. This is a solution that will last. You are actually polishing the glass so if it is a light scratch this is a great method.

@@JohnEngel thanks so much

www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001RAQGXC/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=engelgroup-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B001RAQGXC&linkId=e6bee5afc95cfad0b5c137322e62f44c

So far that hasn’t been the case.

I think this would do the trick.

@@JohnEngel is there enough of the solution to do my whole windshield or should i get the kit and the cerium oxide powder

@@arbaaztoor2559 you definitely can do that. There is enough in this kit to do your whole windshield.

Any drill will work.

It states that you should have it on the fasted setting. When you are snaring you will see the water dry up quickly. Keep it lubricated and take breaks so it doesn’t get too hot.

@@JohnEngel thank you John!

Hi John, just a final follow up. Just got done performing this task on my windshield as I had a wiper arm streak from a storm I drove through that took off my blade. Yes, you’re absolutely right that you MUST have a high speed drill and must watch the heat. I took tons of break and used water constantly b/c I didn’t want to crack the windshield. Also, my first white pad got destroyed early somehow and I was so lucky to have the 2nd. It takes a lot of elbow grease and patience to get the look you want. In the end, I still have a slight streak but nothing very noticeable. The product works great and if I wouldn’t have destroyed the first pad I prob would of tried for the last little bit but I was very cautious about the heat and just stopped! Do you have any idea what type of pad that is so maybe buy aftermarket? 👍👍

You can use the same process but make sure that you cover everything before making a mess.

You could try something like this. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bJmnmcqLv8C9fGg.html

I tried that, but it didn't cut it much.

So, if it is deep than this is not for you. It polishes the glass, so it actually removes a thin layer.

@@JohnEngel do you think 80 grit sanding scratches from an orbital sander would be too deep for it? I'm actually painting a bathroom and I stupidly got some sanding scratches on wall tile. It's glazed porcelain which is similar to glass.

Lol. I know. I was disappointed in myself but I wanted to make sure the product came out right

Here is a link. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001RAQGXC/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=engelgroup-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B001RAQGXC&linkId=e6bee5afc95cfad0b5c137322e62f44c

We have that as well. It won’t replace a windshield for a scratch. Plus these F430 windshields are on the thousands.

I truly have a fear of the dentist and now every time I do this process, this is what I’m going to think about

My arms are too weak. Lol.

I’ll have to give this a try.

@@JohnEngel Don’t use any gel toothpaste. It has to be white toothpaste, because of it’s abrasive properties.

Yes it can. :)

ty for fast respons. will it effect the view angle and will it be a little "bend" from the outside? @@JohnEngel

@@densan92 depends on how much you sand. For small scratches it should not create any distortion. If it is a really deep scratch it might be best to replace the window.

The price of the windshield was yelling in my head as I was doing it. Lol

Really?

@@JohnEngel I had a friend who repaired stars and scratches on windows at car dealers he had a polisher he used and it had a stone on it ...he did a real good job on really bad stuff he fixed a crack that was about 5 inches long in my winshield once and you never new my windshield was cracked after he was done.

@@JohnHenry2420 that’s very interesting. I’ll have to seen if I can find anything on that. Thank you.

lol. That sounds exactly like what Ferrari told me.

Not cold but room temp.

I’m not sure why it would have etched into the glass. This product is good for smaller scratches.

Good question. I was trying to make it as level as possible. I didn’t want a wave in the glass.

@@JohnEngel you'd obviously need to be pretty careful not to make a 'channel'...oo0o0ohh I can just see myself diving right in there and it all ending up a swear-fest

Much better than before.

Right in your line of sight. I totally agree. 😂

Great point.

amzn.to/4d7ZnhI

I got you. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001RAQGXC/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=engelgroup-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B001RAQGXC&linkId=e6bee5afc95cfad0b5c137322e62f44c Link is also in the description.

Same same same. I just did same yesterday and now my eyes just see those scratches as soon as I go near my car.

@@RizzyKay96 yea it sucks. 😭

That’s no good. Did you return it to Amazon?

@@JohnEngel Not yet. My scratch is too deep but I can see that it would work for something that isnt.

Thank you so much. That is actually very helpful. I love the positive way you said it. Much better than what I am used to on the internet. Lol.

Are you talking about the 10 second intro clip?

As long as it has enough grit.

Thank you for letting me know.

Man I hate to hear that. Mine did a good job for sure.

It will leave it very smooth and clean.

@@JohnEngel awesome thanks !

You are 1000% correct and I thought that I did. I just went back and watched it and I totally agree with you.

I ask myself the same question. Thanks Dick.

Was the comment because I work on my own cars?

Really? Lmao. I bet you think the moon landing was fake too.

Yeah I kind of cringed at that then said "oh hell no" when I saw that pad try to run when it would catch an edge.

Ha! Well, I figure if he can test it out on a Ferrari, I can use it on my Ford!
