  • Polishing glass?

    I was talking to a guy today who has a '39 ford that was just repainted. He said the person who painted the car also polished the glass and got all of the haze and wiper scratches out.

    I never knew this was possible? What would you use to cut glass?

      Thanks Mike.

      I searched for Eastwood and only got two posts returned by the search.

      This one, and one for acronyms.

      Are you recommending I look at Zaino glass polish? That was the only thing I saw on the acronym page.

      Does Eastwood also have a product?

          I did that just after my post.

          Found just what I was looking for at Eastwood.

          Now I just need a PC buffer.......

            I havent used the product before, but you might want to check again to make sure the PC will work with it, and that they dont mean a rotary buffer.

            The torque and force applied by those machines is completly different, and the PC may not be strong enough, unless they say that the PC is the right tool to use.

              The lack of returned links has to do with the forum migration, sorry about that, previously, typing in the word "Eastwood" would have pulled up pages of links because this is an often posted topic.

              Here's a link we dug up that will have some helpful information...

              Does anyone no a good way of getting rid of minor scratchs, pits, and swirls in glass? I've heard using 0000 Steel wool with a lubricant works wonders. Has anyone tried this? Cheers!

                I use the Eastwood glass polish system on my details.I just polished some scratches out on a 67 mustang Saturday.All of the glass was scratched.When using this kit remember very little to no pressure on old tempered glass.Use low speed drill preferably cordless.Dont sit to long in one area because heat and pressure will break the glass.Or just let a pro do it,especially if they dont make glass for a particular vehicle.Example 66 Plymouth Barracuda.
