the abrasive makes short work of the scratch. but you have to feather it out so you end up with a patch about 6 inches square for a 2 inch scratch . It took a while with the compound but I tell you the windshield came out great. Well worth the 39.00 CDN
inexpensive option to replacing it. takes time but you can go as slow as you like in sections to make sure you are happy with it before committing to the whole thing
my side glass has scratches so this will work great on those. Thanks for the video, ive seen cerium oxide compounds but never seen sanding pads for the 1st steps.
I only needed the pads for deep scratches. The cerium polishes the glass removing small imperfections. But I had a deep scratch due to a bad wiper and was able to get about 70% of it out with the green pad. then the blue removed most of the scratches but left the glass dull. The Oxide polished it back to clear.
I’ve waited over a week to see you clean your tires instead I got cleaned windshield 😟 That looked simple enough. My friend use to sand all glass with 3k to 5K sandpaper then buff. It all looked new. I’ve never tried that yet.
Very informative as are all your videos! After you did the repair process do you notice any optical aberrations when you look through the windshield while driving? Thank you.
Yes, I had some deep scratches "luckily" left bottom of driver side so not in my direct field of vision. to get them out I had to be fairly aggressive and "flattened" the glass a bit. so if you look through it you can see some distortion. Again, only on curved surfaces if you take too much. on main glass ,, which is flatter I see no optical distortions. Take it slow and you should have no issues. Great for surface scratches but if you have gouges on main glass I suggest replacement.
Being Canadian this is Amazon.ca www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B007CJEZS0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but even on Amazon.com search for Glass Polish 23005. PLEASE be careful with the heavy abrasive this is ONLY for deep scratches. If you simply want to remove slight scratches etc just use the polish. It is always better to start with the lightest abrasive and work UP to the heavy stuff rather than starting heavy .
The polishing pad was nothing more than soft terry cloth. If you can get that for your DA I do not see why it would not work. The abrasive pads were specialized and I would recommend using the drill as they are very aggressive and a DA might take too much off too quickly. The lesson I learned was less was more. you can always take more off, or spend more time polishing. All I can say is be patient as polishing is time consuming.

Thanks for the demonstration. I’d like to try the same thing on my Mustang.

Hello Steve how are you doing. hope you had a good sleep last night. I’m from Minnesota 😊
Results on the windshield looks really good. I just might try this on my truck windshield. Worth an attempt anyway.

LOL...Tires are next, I promise. good news is the kit took all the guess work out of it.
Looks good Where can I buy this kit? Name of product?
Ordered off of Amazon. I put a picture of product early in the video as I am away and do not remember exact name

I’d be interested in your impression or assessment of optical distortion while driving at night.
I do expect something only where I used the abrasive but luckily it is very low on the glass. Will let you know. In the garage I do not see anything
I polished a 95 Toyota windshield that was petty bad. It made driving at night bearable but there were distortions.
@@donsmanufactory hoping for the best but opposing headlights will be the true test
Het ziet er goed uit hij lijk wel nieuw
It is an improvement, plus saved another windshield from the landfill
I can't find this glass polish could you link it?

Do you know if I can use a dual action polisher for this?

Sweet, thanks for the advice and knowledge!
