  • Car Glass Scratches & Pigtails remover

    Hello everyone, just want to share.
    Just last night, i tried new stuff.

    Before:

    quiet a scratch, I can feel with my finger nail.




    Can you see it?



    These are new pigtail that i've made last weekend, cause i used dirty glass polihing disc, it seems like there's a sharp debris in it. And it made my car window like this. !@#%*#!@!
    I can also feel it with my finger nail.



    zoom



    These are before, just hazy and minor scratch. I believe these car had been to amateur car valeting. I can see they used acid to clean water spots, and because of this acid, the window is very easy to scratch. Water spots on European car window is forbidden to be clean by using acid.
    Please buy dedicated product, for your own sake.





    Tools & Ammo yang dipakai:
    1. Rotary DeWalt 849
    2. BP 3"
    3. Glass polishing disc
    4. Cerium Oxide dillute +/- 3:1
    5. Aquades
    6. MF
    7. Chamois









    Polish with Rotary DeWalt 849, speed 1000.
    and splatter everywhere. if you try to keep clean, cover your surroungings with newspaper and mask it. Just because i am planning to wash my car after wards, i didn't cover it at all.

    Important Points:
    1. stay focus.
    2. slow hand movement.
    3. keep your disc flat.
    4. if your glass is a bit warn/hot, better if you moved to another spot, and spray it with sprayer, leave it for a while.
    5. be patience, glass polishing would take a while.
    6. find comfortable position.
    7. know when you have to add water to your disc.
    8. Often check your result.
    9. make sure your tools/equipment are clean, specially glass polishing disc, MF, dan chamois.

    recommendation:
    1. use eye protection.
    2. use dust mask.

    Result:

    I hope this topic would be useful.

    Thank you for viewing.

    Best regards,
