Glass Scratch Removal Kit - How To remove deep scratches from the glass - Step by step process 

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

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.

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?

Or just not bother about a scratch or 10 scratches, after 5 pints of Guiness. And just feck it.😂

Yes, it can be used on the toughened glass

@@GlassPolishShop thank you

​@@SummitOrNothing fancy seeing you here Trev 😜 did you try this and did it work?

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.

Put it this way..... If you weren't left with the problem you have it would be miracle. Its taking the piss to make out like a first timer could get a great result with a DIY kit. This is why its a specialist field of work.

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.

We currently do not have a distributor in Colombia; however, we ship worldwide via DHL Express. You can visit our website at: glasspolishshop.com/.

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.

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.

@@googleaccount6167 Yes. I bought a new window

@@googleaccount6167 Maybe you can polish the entire windshield to remove the rest of the antiglare and even the finish?

Dang how do I know if my car has anti glare? My windshield wipers basically scratched the whole driver half of my dodge dart (2013) and don’t wanna buy a new one because they are expensive

Thanks for the tip

what year? I have a 2002 firebird so i fear its the same

Don’t worry, his beard is acting as a filter! 👍

If you want to remove pits from the entire windshield, we recommend using a 5" kit with the rotary polisher ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7lQDVlqKWBs.html The 3" kit is recommended for small areas only.

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

The glass may be a different hardness than other glasses! Not sure, but look into it. Sorry. I see this is a 10 month old comment, but it cant hurt to say something

@@KenzertYT I actualy haven't found a solution my fish tank is still in the shed I think I'll end up swaping the sides Thankyou so much m8

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.

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.

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?

To help with optic distortion, make sure to keep the grinding discs as flat as possible. Keep heat to a minimum. Bellow 120 degrees Fahrenheit would be best. To keep the grinding disks as flat as possible, it is best to use larger discs and a machine that is not a drill. A automotive type polisher is best for this as you can place your hand flat on the head of the polisher to hold the grinder on the glass, being careful not to press too hard. Let the abrasive do its job, pressing too hard will make it dig unevenly into the glass. Another tip to avoid distortion is to keep the glass clean and dry. There is no need to touch the glass as he did, use an inferred thermometer to check temp. The oils from your hand will make the grinding disc slip thus leaving a high spot where you touched it. Also, hot glass and cold water is a recipe for broken glass. Lastly, instead of only doing side to side motions while grinding, also do up and down motions. Alternating each time you go over the repair area. Always step out the repair area half the width of the grinding disc each time you do a pass. Hope this helps! 😊

Every scratch removal kit we sell comes with dust mask

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 should polish it a bit longer with the GlasX60 blue sanding disc before final polishing. Please check the instruction for step 7

• The reason you have the cloudiness left is that you may have used the side part of the abrasive when removing the scratches, as this is not as worn down as the inside it may have scored the glass and caused this to happen. When removing the scratch using an abrasive disc, you want to use the pad completely flat and try not to stop on the same spot when removing the scratch; this will prevent you from causing glass distortion. • Before starting the polishing process, make sure that the surface has a uniform clouded appearance (by looking at the picture, this has not been achieved yet). To remove the marks you have in the picture, we recommend spending more time with the blue pad flat on the glass and a constant speed of about 2000rpm. • Please note polishing glass is a time-consuming process. The video has been edited from over 40 min long to only 7 min. The restoration process takes time, especially for someone who never used our or similar systems before. • When polishing, don’t be afraid to experiment with speed and pressure. Lower the speed to about 1000-1400 rpm and put the pressure to 5-10 lbs to help the polishing compound break down more quickly and get better results. • If the glass is still cloudy or some abrasive marks left by the Blue disc are still visible, you may need to use more compound and polish for a little longer. Remember that using too much water while polishing will dissolve the compound.

Yes, you can remove scratches from your windshield, just be mindfull to check it does not have an exterior coating that could end up being removed when using an abrasive. glasspolishshop.com/automotive-care-repair?product_id=374

Yes in some circumstances small windows and panes of glass will be cheaper to replace as glass can be relatively cheap to buy and if you know how to de-glaze and fit the new pane.

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

If you think of polishing the entire windshield, consider using a 5-inch kit with a rotary polisher instead of a 3-inch kit with an electric drill. The 3-inch kit is suitable for small areas or spot repairs but not large panes.

@@GlassPolishShop Will do. Thanks for advice.

@@GlassPolishShop vous pouvez me donner vos adresses et vous votre téléphone

All our DIY kits can be used to polish fish tanks. You can send us an email with the size of your aquarium and pictures of the scratches, and we will get back to you with a recommendation.

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.

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.

Please send us a picture of the damaged area to contact@glasspolishshop.com, we will et back to you with advice.

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 .

Yes, our kit can be used to remove scratches left by the knife or any other sharp object.

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.

Hello, we've heard that every day, glass shops may try to convince you to buy and replace the glass instead of repairing it. Repairing the glass can cost a fraction of the price of replacing it. Moreover, the glass scratch removal process has been independently tested to prove that using it does not weaken the glass.

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

Yes, this will work on automotive glass.

No

You are genuinely better off filling the scratch with resin and then polishing only the scratch.. But the screen will probably always register ghost touches (mine sure does!). Adding resin or anything into the crack can actually make the ghost-inputs worse or better, it entirely depends.. Total gamble. 1 year old comment but thought I'd say this in case anyone is reading the comments looking for advice

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 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7lQDVlqKWBs.html demonstrate how and why GlasNet200 discs are used.

Hi, yes this can be used on stove top glass , but be careful of the stove markings on the glass

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.

Thank you for your inquiry. Our product is specifically designed and formulated to be safe for use on glass surfaces, including the inside of aquariums. It is non-toxic and does not contain any harmful chemicals that could pose a danger to fish or other aquatic life. Remove any fish or other inhabitants temporarily during the polishing process and thoroughly clean and rinse the aquarium when you are finished.

Thank you for your inquiry. Mirrors, like ordinary glass, can be polished using our system. However, when working on mirrors, you will need to pay closer attention to temperature control during the process compared to working on standard glass. To assist you further, please send us a picture of the mirror you wish to polish, and let us know the specific type of damage you are looking to address. Whether it's scratches, haziness, or any other issue, providing us with these details will help us provide you with more precise guidance.

You can try the polishing stage first, and if you want to get the results, then you can start with the blue abrasive disc followed by the polishing process.

@@GlassPolishShop Perfect. Thanks!

Thank you for your input, we will consider this for our next video.

The scratches were quite deep (caused by the P120 diamond pad), and it took approximately 40 min to complete the job.

@@GlassPolishShop not bad I was thinking a few hours ,thank you for replying so quickly

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

• If the glass is still cloudy, you may need to use more compound and polish for a little longer. • When polishing, don’t be afraid to experiment with speed and pressure. Lower the speed to about 1000-1400 rpm and put the pressure to 5-10 lbs to help the polishing compound brake down more quickly and get better results. • Remember that using too much water while polishing will dissolve the compound. I hope these few tips will help you with the polishing technique, however should you have more questions please feel free to contact us again.

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

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. The time required for the process really depends on the depth of the scratches and the size of the area. In the video, the scratches were quite deep, and as a result, the entire process took about 40 minutes. Keep in mind that for shallower scratches or smaller areas, the process might be quicker.
