Appreciate that y’all showed the remaining defects!
Thanks for the clear concise video. I’m a big fan of the CeriGlass and CarPro rayon pads. I had a 25 year old Jeep that sat outside probably all it’s life and had really bad water spot etching. Used the CarPro products on a PC 7424 and it was a bit of work but removed 100% of them.
I've been waiting for this video, great timing as I'm just getting ready to take your advice on how to take on water spots on the glass.
Didn’t have my polisher with me today or my glass polishing pad and glass compound. But somehow I had Suds Factory water spot remover, a drill and a Mother’s polishing cone...man it came out great!
Does the ceriglass with a rayon pad leave a haze that needs to be polished out further or is it clear on its own with that combo?
What glass coating did you use? Awesome video!
Water spots were easy, but now I can see all the scratches. Time to get it masked off and really spend some time getting a lot of the pitting/scratches out. I'm definitely sealing it after and adjusting my sprinklers this Spring.
I love that ride! Greg from Cadillac Auto Detailing Cadillac MI
My 67 Buick Electra has that same old school blue tinted glass, it very badly needs a good buff/polish but all videos I find are with newer car glass. Glad you posted this
Are you using an interface between the backing plate and the rayon pad ?
Did you change the pad to do the windscreen?. Because I have the same prob but limited pads
Super vidéos merci ! Beaucoup apris
I’ve removed scratches to an acceptable level using ceraglass, misting water, a rayon pad, and a 3 inch da polisher with an 8mm throw. However I don’t know how to remove the haze I’ve created. Any tips for which combo I should use? I have access to lots of polishes and pads.
Will this remove swirl scratches from glass?
Would the carpro glass polish take off Gtechnic glass coating?
Been using CeriGlass & rayon pad for water spots and glass maintenance for a few years now ... then apply your glass coating. I use the CeriGlass in my home on shower glass 👍🏽 To get glass polished to a level of corrected perfection have to use water mist - CeriGlass - rayon pad - low polish spreed - repeat ... it is just a PITA.
Glass is a mongrel to work with. You can spend up to an hour just in one small area. You must use the Rayon pad, a sponge interface pad if your backing plate is the rigid type and Ceriglass. You also need to mist the area with water as you go to keep the temperature down and use a fresh top up of Ceriglass with each pass. You'll probably do around 20 sets to effectively remove etching and mild abrasion such as wiper blade defects. Those scratches you can feel with your nail, will not come out.
I think your suggestion is pretty correct.
The specialists do it much faster 😉 : ruclips.net/video/Ou8eqmResNA/видео.html
(be interesting to see them do a curved surface though)
@gregsullivan7408 for an example of whats possible, If you are familiar with porche 356 they have a small rear windshield with a extreme curve through it. I did a full surface grind on both sides of the glass. It can be done by requires alot of experience.
I'm scared of Cerium Oxide but my side window is etched pretty bad after an acid cleaner dried on it, I tried a cutting compound (M105) but didn't do absolutely anything, not even one bit, is my only option Cerium Oxide?
@@victor4091 Yes, it is. You need to be able to cut into the glass and the oxide helps with this.
Don't be scared if it. Treat it like any polish. Same process.
what is the maximum temperature of glass? thanks.
Merci beaucoup pour l'information
Did you only use the ceriglass and rayon pad?
Loved the 🤷🏻♂️, sometimes perfect is not possible. Thanks for the information.
How does compare to p and s clarity creme?
Rupes rotary coarse compound , LHR15ES , yellow rupes foam pad. Works everytime. For watermark only . 😊
Hello beginner with a DA here,
How fast should I go and how hard to press to remove watermarks vs removing scratches?
Thanks
The background music fits the car!
Did you claybar the glass before hand
I live in the Desert. Number one fan #1 What can we put on the windshield to protect it again sand pitting? We have that problems in the desert.
nothing really you can do to stop pitting
Could i wet sand with sand paper from 3000 grit and up to 10k and then do the polishing?
Who makes the electric Polishing tool?
One day I will have customers like this.
May I know that chemicales and kinds of pasd please?
What if the window has a factory stained glass tint?
Generally speaking I think laminated glass in softer and easier to remove defects from than toughened/tempered glass.. So in modern cars if you've got scratches on the side/back of the car you've got no chance!
Those wheel look so wrong man. Sheesh.
is the customer going to pay for your time to 'improve' the glass? and how do you know when to stop?
finally water spot removal. been asking around the car spa's in my area. They always said it can't be done. Change the windshield they said..
There are some great chemicals that do that, too. Iron remover and other water spot treatments that are way less work than polishing
Thanks will look in to it
Honestly... You don't need to lose so many time, of you find a good product, like ive found, in 30s you have the water drops fully removed..
When using rotary polisher on car windows is it required to spray water from time to time? I want to try ceriglass on my car windows and the one i have is rotary polisher.. Do i need to buy expensive dual action polisher?thank you..
it's not required, rather recommended, heating the glass up can even crack the windshield, you need to cool stuff down
I had read it's not recommended to use a DA on glass. Do you recommend using it or do you prefer rotary for this?
I had zero issues using my DA with ceriglass. I also used a glass pad which is extremely thin.
DA,
For any scratches you can catch a nail in, you'll Def have to wet sand. Start at 600 to be conservative but will most likely have to jump to 400,220,180. Just did my side rear Chevelle glass, came out great but needed 180 on a 3" polisher to get the deep ones out. Pretty time consuming having to go all the way back up the grits to 600/800 before hitting with Ceri and a 3" rayon. Prob have an honest 90 minutes on just the one window
What kind of polisher DA or rotary?
@@OBS.Rey__if it's one or 2 medium scratches it's not that bad. If there's alot of deep ones from morons scratching it up with sandpaper from bodywork it's HOURS and HOURS. Quite understandably most guys just replace the glass at that point. And don't expect to get results using the Cerium glass polish like you would using a paint compound, u have to put ALOT on each time and keep it sludgy and thick. If u put little dabs like a paint polish it won't do crap
When you sit in the passenger seat and look out and look where the wiper scratch was/is did you notice that the optics in the glass changed. That’s usually what happens.
Did you find the Rayon pad gave pigtails?
In my experience it doesn't. Just blow or brush the pad out between passes and your good. Pigtails usually only happen with built up residue forms a clump and lodges into the pad. Especially with sanding
Thanks for the video . I got a problem similar to yours but with swirls. I hit the glass with ceriglass and wool, hard pads, medium pads, tried sonax 06-02 and 04-06 but seriously nothing happened . Problem is I can’t find rayon pads here but I am afraid the swirls won’t come out with rayon. Any suggestions? It’s really tiring driving like this .
You don’t need any of that for the hard water spots… just a Brillo pad and water or blue ScotchBrite pad. And yes deep scratches can be removed from glass… you take your DA sander and go through the grits until you’re at the point to where you can actually use what you are in this video.
It makes you wonder if it would be cheaper to replace the windscreen instead of hours of work
How do you think these would do on a windshield that is pitted ?
John Wills I’m sure they wont remove pits but I wonder if it might make them less obvious. I may give it a try, will let you know how it works...
@@rustyjeep2469
Ok how did it work
Or are you still putting it off ?
Thanks bud for a great video of this type of subject. I would like to see another video of the same subject but this time try using scratch & swirl remover?
A friend of mine who has done lots of them said use a rotary. Does the Ceriflass recommend a DA over Rotary? I have a windshield to do on a Subaru.
Glass pad with the ceriglass worked great on my Subaru on a 15 Rupes.
Eric’s Detail Garage I have the glass pads and the griots glass polish, but was inform d I should use a rotary. For a general polish up I just use my DA that I was using for paint.
Kevin Campbell Right on. I’ve never used a rotary for glass but the rayon glass pad and ceriglass have yielded great results! 👍🏻
@@eric8588
Ok the body shop
Let the DA sander slip with 40 grit paper on my back glass And it put really deep scratches in it about a 10 " square on 55 crown Vic How you gonna fix that ?
My car has tiny specks all over the windshield that are super visible in the direct sun light. When I run my nail over them I cannot feel anything. Glass is as smooth as new. Any idea what caused them and how I can get them removed? Car is 2018 BMW. Your response is greatly appreciated. Thanks
In my experience if its the same small specks I think you're talking about is nothing more then many micro chips in the glass.
This is usually caused by sand coming from dump trucks or catching the road grit that comes with interstate driving and being close to the car in front of you; basically you're sand blasting your windshield.
Polishing helps a lot because it wears down all those jagged edges that reflect the sunlight. This of course is on a microscopic level. It's smooth to the touch but under a microscope it would probably look more like some jagged rock formation. All of those edges reflect light back at you making them visible and appear to be little sparkling dots.
Polish with a rayon pad and use an actual glass polish of some sort. Like he said in this video, don't over heat the glass, doing so breaks down the PVB layer in the glass and can cause distorted vision and all kinds of weird effects. Just be patient with it and take small breaks after a few passes to allow the glass to cool gradually and you will be OK. Hope this helps, maybe someone else can offer some insight in case I'm way off base but this has helped me and several of my clients in the past; I also detail vehicles.
@@whiskkers9291 thanks I've been looking for someone else with a similar experience to mine I'm going to try this later today
@@chrisguzman7926 NIce. Just know glass is hard to polish out, meaning it takes a lot of passes so thats why the heat build up becomes an issue. Take your time and and take breaks when the glass heats up.
Hey, did you ever get this addressed or try polishing? I just bought a 2018 Lexus RX350 F-Sport with the same issue and am considering trying the Ceriglass to knock the edges off of the specks…
Glass is a whole different ballgame compared to paint
Jason Gosnell yes it is. That’s why I always told myself to try my best to perfect glass before paint
and I’m very happy I went that route. Also Griots glass correcting system is actually really good.
Hands down, the best and easiest water spot remover for glass is 3D Eraser Gel. $15 a bottle you just can’t beat it. If you haven’t tried, I highly recommend it!!
Yes it works good but its also an acid so you could risk permanently etching your glass if you leave it on the glass too long. Also if you rinse it and it pools on your vehicle somewhere it can cause damage. Just be sure to rinse it with something that can neutralize the acidity.
Ceriglass contain cerium oxide?
yep
I use a squeegee to wipe the water off my glass when washing the car or when I park my car in the garage after it rains.Saves a lot of time later.
Wow gorgeous
not better rotary machine polish glass ?
Great job. Ever consider using the rotary on the heavy scratch or would that be too aggressive?
Not too aggressive at *all* the rotary is all I use for glass. You'll be there for hours otherwise if you're after actual scratches. Glass is crazy hard, really nothing is too aggressive. The only real worry is heat warping. Just keep the polisher moving and you'll be fine. Use some heavy pressure along with a spray bottle of water. Cerium abrasives don't disintegrate like paint specific abrasives. So your polish is going to dry out long before the abrasives are spent. I keep the speed around 3, just so the polish doesn't dry out as fast.
Check out Autogeeks live training glass polishing video. That's exactly how I do it, and exactly what I use.
ruclips.net/video/t15n7ATZpVs/видео.html
If you're just going after light scuffs, etching, stains, etc., you can get it done with standard paint correction stuff. But actual defects, you need glass specific materials.
@@jdisdetermined what do you mean by paint correction stuff? Do you mean scratch remover?
@@ferlottes Yep. Just regular foam or fiber polishing pads and polishes.
@@jdisdetermined please, help me : I had someone cleaning overspray with steel wool on all my window,,, brand new 4runner. So its like full of millions of small scratches all over. Only visible when sun hits or highlights hits. So, what do you suggest me? Thank you
Those stating use cerium oxide powder in the comments. Its already IN Ceriglass! "CeriGlass represents a cutting-edge solution to glass
correction with a blend of Ceramic abrasives, Cerium Oxide, and Nanotechnology ingredients. Replacing the messy glass polishing powders of old, CeriGlass glass correction compound safely removes severe water spots and light scratches without surface distortion ensuring perfect clarity of vision and maximum driving safety. Can also be used on Plexiglass, Metal, and Chrome"
Why not use vinegar (or any descaling liquid) against water spots ?
Good question. I’ve used vinegar and purified water with a clay bar and it worked pretty good.
I tried soaking water spot glassware in sink for 3 days……..nothing😖
Good to see young guns working smart.
great looking caddy, but those wheels look terrible on it. I would put the original chrome wire wheels back on it
To remove the wiper marks requires 70% pumice hand scrub and 30% mother mag and aluminum cleaner, courtesy of Sweet Project Cars youtube channel!!!!!!
Great looking car, but those wheels are awful. Have you guys worked on any old cars like this that have the original paint?
Polishing glass has GOT to be my least favorite step to do.
i have tones of fine scratches on the entire windscreen with some form of stains on the glass that not for hell will stay gone. Ive tried 2 types of glass polish and all it does it remove it for 2 weeks tops then it appears again. but the scratches are dangerous at night and im wondering if ceramium oxide will work or dont even bother
Better to just replace the windshield, that's what I did. Yea it cost me 400$, but it's better then a polisher will ever do.
@@alexandrupara4574 sigh in my country replacing a windscreen it's anything btw 1800 or 3500$
Oxido de cerio
Wet sanding glass?
nope will make it worst
What speed you use?
He said he was using 5 when working on the windshield
Guys....just watch how Mike Phillips from Autogeek does it...I mean You have icons of autodetailing in US. Yes, poilishing glass is hard. But it is doable. Not pretty though. The process is a mess. But the results are astonishing.
Glass should by polish with rotary on low speed with water and cerium oxide. Remove 85% scratches from front winshield take my few hours.
Ceriam oxide. Done.
You left some microfiber fuzz on the C in Cadillac
Try rotary machine will more efficient
Rotary
I used carpros rayon pad and ceriglass on the windscreen, huge regrets!!
It left the glass with scratches and swirls all over the place 😖 what am I doing wrong
T C did u prep the glass, clay it and removed any existing protection?
@@yaishmatheen4274 yep, did all that, and had no protection at that time. Mentioned this issue to another RUclips detailer and he said he had the same issue with that exact product and now avoids it. Just guessing here, but I imagine some glass is harder and some softer, like paint, responds differently depending on manufacturer.
T C yea maybe
@@TC-vx9yv Noooo! Sorry to hear that. Sucks when what works for others ends up making yours worse. I've had that with some compounds before.
Sent you an email....on windshield protection suggestions.
Care to share?
Use the power of the beard!
Just use cerium oxide. It's cheaper and much better at polishing than whatever any manufacture sells you
When using rotary polisher on car windows is it required to spray water from time to time? I want to try ceriglass on my car windows and the one i have is rotary polisher.. Or do i need to buy expensive dual action polisher?this is my first time to try polishing car windows.. thank you..
vinegar is great for removing water spots
Wet sanding people, fine grid paper and a lot of lubricant, you wouldn't believe the result
Does it really work. Can't seem to find any good videos on it.
It is not water etching it is water minerals deposits.
thats somebodys baby for sure
A quick tint and wala...its gone
“Voila” (wala)
A rayon pad isn't strong enough for glass scratches. You would probably need a copper pad or similar, used for polishing marble/granite. haha
You can be very aggressive with glass. You can sand it down 3M trizact discs to cut faster and then finish with an aggressive cutting compound.
Glass is super hard and it takes forever, but it can be done. I've even sanded out rock chips in fog lights before starting as low as 400 grit. Just be aware that it takes FOREVER when taking out deep defects from glass.
i just tried to remove pit from my glass headlight. serious work. check my vids.
Great video, but the camera work was awful
RUPES BIG FOOT !
Hitting a whole windshield takes 3 to 4 hours of continuous high pressure polishing. It’s a waste to buy these products if you’re not willing to use them to their fullest potential. Just work all the damn scratches out.
I tend to do it over a few sessions because it takes so long. Hour here, hour there and just keep reducing them.
3000,4000,7000 than polish it
Just replace the glass if it bothers you .... life is too short
Some of the classics its impossible to find glass for. I agree on a newer car
try rotory machine next time
The wheels and tires are sooo ugly. IMO.
Lies! Ceraglass and the 5" rayon pads are sold out! Great video though. I'll wait patiently for restock.
Sorry back in stock soon!
@@Carsupplieswarehouse I was only kidding...they came back in stock and I ordered them from you already. They'll be here Saturday. Thank you for all you do!
It's about those God awful looking wheels and tires. Surely the owner of that car is joking! I mean....seriously.....they are hideous.
If you could just look over your shoulder and yell loudly... "HEY, Shut the Fuck Up, I'm recording a video here." that'd be real nice.
You will melt the glass huh lmao 😂? Glass melts at 1,400 to 1,600 degrees 🤣
I stoped watching soon as he busted out the Da and not a rotary . 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Those wheels are truly awful.
Great video though.
Good job. You have to read coran and judge it . Before the end of life.
Beautiful car with ugly ass rims...👎👎👎👎👎
Used it for the first time last weekend definitely worth buying if you're a person who likes detailing your own car recommend first time to use on lowest setting 800 so you don't burn paint don't leave in one spot keep moving it over paint easy to use ruclips.net/user/postUgkxfzbDkCRyv3CFXnLZI4APZtRRuG2uRmP2 truck looks like new again used maguires black light battery life like all milwaukee products seem to hold up well 😀
