Glad to find a Instructional video on this as it seem most sources will just tell you to replace the windshield. Also very good tips from others in the comments!
This feels like science fair time. Can’t wait to work on my windshield! Have some CeO and pads enroute!
amazing that the pitch of the polisher was in tune with the music!
What do you know, it worked for me!!! Thanks for the video! From my experience it's better to use some kind of masking tape on the inside instead of marker to indicate the working area.
i never thought this would work,had a big scratch not deep and only using a ebay kit with a batterydrill i can barely see the scratch anymore,thanks!
what ebay kit did you use/recommend?
Dude! Thanks for the video and we definitely owe you a beer or two! Best of luck!
this works i bought a kit from china 8 pcs, with powder cerum oxide maybe no lable, plus drill attachment etc. . a 24 inches wiper scratch from my windshield remove but it takes 30 times wiping and grinding on the spot.. my windshield are now clear and shiny..
no hazy reflections as reported up there
...we dont need alot, then pours half the container!?
Sebastien L I was gonna post the same thing. Lol
😂
LOL
Oof..
Same lmfao what a joke
I've been doing my screen today with cirium oxide. I went across the whole screen and cleaned the stuff off. The scratches were still there. So I thought, I probably need to do it with a bit more pressure on the pad. (I was being careful the first time round). After I tried with my pressure I was still left with these scratches. My scratches appear to be shallower than the ones in this video. Anyone know what I might be doing wrong? How long are you supposed to keep at it for?
Good job well done looks like some great stuff .I have a pretty deep scratch from my wipper blade on my all original 63' Chevy Nova the rubber was off the blade and someone turned it on so I'am hoping to get the scratch out and not replace the glass. Thanks for sharring looks amazing ☺
Useful tip covering front of car in something that washes off first!
OK, but my entire windscreen is scratched from the wiper blades. I guess the previous owners ran the wipers with no water and scratched sand. Now, if driving into the sun at dusk (or any time at night) I get a very smeared view. Can I apply cerium oxide to the entire window?
Thanks for the video....but when I buff with the compound outside I noticed that the inside of the windscreen there was a bit of light refraction .... Is there any way to reduce the refraction of light from the inside ? Thanks again
I just did this and it removed all the hairline scratches from the carwash! Doing this also has a "rain-x" effect on the windshield! Water wont bead on the glass now!
Does this remove tough water marks also?
I got my front bumper done today in Detroit. I picked it up and now my front windshield and my front driver and passenger windows are very rough and can not see clearly. Any recommendations?
Wow great job i have somo scratches on my windows in the house what kind of polish pad should i use a hard one i guess? Thx
consistency is actually decently important, you want it to be a lot thicker, more liek toothpaste
"we don't need a lot"... Pours mos tof the powder in the bowl.
Why must we sit through stirring?
It would be helpful if you told us what type of buffer you were using.
Felt
@@tylerheadly2583 Thank you
Thanks for the excellent video. Was it a deep scratch?
You didnt show the place where the marker was again. Im not convinced it worked. But hey nice clean windshield!
5:00
Looks like a complete new windshield in the end...........................
Oh you bet your ass this stuff works! Definitely not a beginner's procedure.
Consider placing large plastic cup onto drill before attaching polisher. It could act as a containment device to decrease splashing & product waste. Also walls & clothes prob cleaner too. Haven't tried myself but seems like a good idea.
Good video - I learnt a lot.
If you don't use it all can you let it dry out and rehydrate another time?
For sure
Does this thing removes scratches from a LCD phone screen?.
Is there a link to this? I can't seem to find it anywhere, and their link is not working.
Why does he sound like Mr. Smithers from the Simpsons? XD
Local legend has it that he IS Mr. Smithers.
How come the other channel says use flat pad?
My friend, What is the mixing ratio of cerium oxide and water? Can you please tell? Thanks
Geez, did u even listen to the video? He states it loud & clear.
@@nopjack7278 My Friend, Thanks. But I am Turkish. We are a neighboring country with Iraq in the Middle East. I don't know English but I want to learn. For this, I watched your video with RUclips subtitles. Have a nice day,,
@@saitsaatcigil9830 Can you lick anymore ass?
Two parts water to one part cerium oxide. Make it like toothpaste
Can cerium oxide be used as scratch remover for smartphones?
Yes.
@@michesbianan Wow. Both the front and the back?
Is it only cerium oxide???
Korey Gobin $
Nice, now if you could do my truck next :)
Great video, but to be honest, that background music is VERY distracting. I'd delete that part and you'd have a great instructional video here.
If you can't concentrate on something this simple due to a little mellow music you might want to see a doctor, as there is obviously something wrong with your brain.
Is that 2:1 ratio by weight or volume?
Volume
Wild guess?
Don't need alot as they dump half the container into bowl
looks like a big job. Tap it with a hammer and get it replaced by insurance. If you don't have insurance for glass wait a few months after adding it. Then tap with a hammer.
I myself would probably give the Cerium Oxide Polishing method a try first before resorting to Insurance fraud... but maybe I'm just a little overly risk averse.
Naw...you make a claim with insurance, then wait and see your insurance rates go up because of a claim and you wind up spending more money than if you just bought a windshield yourself. This happened to me when I made a claim on a broken windshield due to a rock hitting it. If I had known my rates would have gone up so much I would have just paid to have it done myself.
will this work to remove light scratches from eye glasses?
yes light medium and even deep ones but u gotta work for it much harder
Thanks I can
yes..thank you very much
it works very well on a 20yr old windscreen
How much cerium oxide cost to do my full windscreen.
Five bucks on eBay
Glass scratch removing compound is not available in India... Can you please give an idea that how to do it instead???
Although cerium oxide is available in India... But I don't know if it will work...
Korey Gobin thanks.. 😇
No problem! Glad I could help you out :)
Please tell the actual elaped time of polishing.
Is it mixing it with a ✏️?
how long did that take
Andrew about a year
@Antonio Farina if u want faster, sanding first and then polish with cerium oxide
What is that blue lint free paper towel?
Those would be shop towels. Can buy in bulk at any hardware store or Amazon
Also try large car accessories places like Pep Boys. That's where I got mine.
Does this stuff damage paintwork? The car looks like it has been completely taped up.
If left on the paint it may eat away at the clear coat but it will definitely damage plastic trim so if you don't tape everything off just wash the car well after the job is done. Also, breathing in the cerium oxide powder can cause serious lung problems. I can't believe people in these videos don't wear masks and eye protection.
That music is driving me crazy
Then mute the video, genius.
how long did this acctually take to remove this one scratch? and how hard i the buff and what is it made of?
You need to put just enough pressure on the windshield until you hear it crack or see it cave in.
@@DilbertReckinridge Thanks, worked a charm after it caved in. Can't see the original scratch!
Can I use normal rotatary wool glass polishing pad to remove swirl marks from glass?
Rayon is best for glass, but gets hot so you need to mist area
i dont have a Machine Buffer can i use my hand insted ???
😂
Yeah, but youll need to do it every weekend till 2022 !

"12 hours latah"......
Why use the edge of the polishing head? How do you maintain a even surface and one that would be gouged due to the pressure changes in the head? You can clearly see the technician wandering in and out over the scratch. Also, you need to feather in the areas around the scratch? Or, does the compound simply round off the edges of the scratch...leaving the valley of the scratch intact? We are not seeing the whole process...this must have taken a lot longer with more techniques applied.
Good questions and comments! I'll do my best to answer them: Using the edge of the dense felt polishing head serves two purposes. 1) It is much easier to control. If you try to use the leading surface of the polishing head you will find it almost impossible to control. 2) Using the edge of the wheel allows you to apply more pressure to a narrow area and gouging is not an issue as the cerium oxide Delta Kits uses is very high quality and minimally abrasive. If you try buff out too wide of an area the process will take considerably longer and it is not necessary for the desired results.
You maintain an even surface by keeping the polishing head rotating across the scratch while moving it back and forth along the scratch. By doing so you are constantly feathering the edges of the scratch. Keep in mind that unlike a sanding process there is almost no material (glass) being removed and we only use this process to remove light scratches. If using this process for a deep scratch you will improve the cosmetic appearance considerably but some of the valley of the scratch may remain. If you sand or grind out a deep scratch and then polish it you have to use multiple grits and pay much more attention to feathering. Even then you will often end up with a "warped" effect after a deep scratch has been completely removed which is why we only recommend this process for removing fine scratches.
The technique is the same regardless of the length of the scratch. It can take a considerable amount of time to remove a long scratch but the technique is the same regardless of the length so we shortened the video to only show the basic process for scratch removal using the Delta Kits 25010 polishing head and 25005 polishing compound. As a general rule of thumb it takes an experienced technician approximately 3-5 minutes per inch to completely remove a light scratch but of course the time varies considerably depending on the depth of the scratch and the technician's experience. In this instance the scratch was successfully removed in about 20 minutes.
Hope this helps and let us know if you have any follow-up!
@@DeltaKits if that is so, about the 2 edges of the scratch,i would reverse the drill half of the time.
Does this count on phone screens?
Phone screens are different material. This might be too strong for phone screens.
Didn’t understand the point of marking the inside of the window then cleaning it off without showing the same area ?
RPMs?
can i apply with hand only without using any machine?
Won't work for this. Need, heat from the speed and pressure from the buffer to polish hard surfaces like auto windshield glass. BE CAREFUL! American windshields are layered for obvious safety reasons. You'll ruin it if you make it too warm/hot. For most people replacement is the best way. If you refinish or replace the glass always apply protection/sealant and change the wipers regularly to prevent future issues.
@@poochielepew498 Thank you
Knows his stuff, just not so good with a rag.
Is it really necessary to mask the whole car. It's seems pretty easy to spray off with a hose.
cerium oxide won't come off that easily, invest time in protecting car than cleaning it afterwards, plus if you polish whole glass or couple of them on the same car, (its a long process) you do not want to bake cerium oxide on paint or rubber. Regards
can i use my Dremel 4000 with that polisher bit
We recommend a minimum operating speed of 1,300 RPM and it looks like your tool has a variable speed of 5,000 to 35,000 RPM so you should be good.
DeltaKits08 how about a random orbital polisher cordless? 10 inch
We don't use any cordless tools, but as long as you can use the different grits at the RPMs we recommend, you should be fine.
Uhm are the windshield getting thiner?
Very slightly. This won't affect its durability.
@@Saaaaab ohokai
This things is not working i have bought the same tolls and spend a lot of time lucky that i practice on a windscreen i have ben removed from the car and its cracked
Yep, 6 hours later
This is danger situation way to reworking scratchs in vision part because by this way you ll make optic defect is so danger for conductor
This product can remove scratch phone screen ? gorilla glass
My favorite part was the noisy moist
Is that Walter white ??
That 'music' is hyper annoying!!!!
Back In The real world if you looked at it from the inside it will be distorted A F 🤡
Hate that shit. Just a big mess! It's fine for minor scratches but better just to put in a cheap 2nd hand
cringed when he titled it on its edge!! nice way yo cause distortion!!
Save up (BMW, Audi, Porsche, +++) for a factory replacement windshield, if you want perfection. If not, watch multiple you tube videos which match the problem that you are trying to correct or fix. In my mind "correction/fix does not always equal perfection," (see the first sentence.)
Do not do this folks! It's not possible to remove scratches from a modern car windscreen! Best you can do is ever so slightly improve the look of the scratch and only if you are very careful ! These types of videos for the most part, make things much worse ! Beware!!!!!!
Bs!
I removed fingernail scratches of a 2014 audi with polishing
@@Chill2704 Cant have been a scratch you could feel with your nail then.
