- How to remove scratches on a glass cooktop! Part II. Today we are taking another crack at fixing my glass cooktop stove using the sand paper & polish method. I've had trouble with how to clean a glass cooktop. This cooktop is burnt and scratched. I tried to fix this smooth top cooktop a few weeks ago using Cerama Bryte glass cooktop cleaner. Unfortunately, it didn't work. Cerama Bryte works great on general cleaning. However, if you have scratches and staining, you will need to be more creative on how you deal with it. Join me as we try to clean this glass cooktop using the sand paper & polish method using a buffer on a drill. What's Up Wednesday! I hope you have a great day!

Just a little advice, put the product on the pad first. Smear it around on the surface for a bit then turn the drill on. You'll get about 1% of the splatter if any.
Looks so much better. Glad you were able to give it a try. I don't know what those people did to that thing, my mom's always looked like the day she bought it just with the regular cream, but I'm glad it looks so much better.
Looks so much better, and yes if your ready to trash it then you have nothing to lose.
Hi Amy and Eric. The stove top looks a lot better. Win for sure! Have a good day you two.
Thank you.
Those scratches are what happens when you use cast iron pans and move them back and forth when cooking cast iron scratches glass cooktops super easy.
A recommendation that was given to me by a Samsung repair tech a while back when I had my fridge replaced I bought a home that had a glass cooktop that looked similar to this he told me to go and get one of those headlights sandpaper restoration kits for a drill and wet sand the entire surface using the instructions just like I was restoring a glass headlight and use the sanding pads first starting with the coarsest one first then keep changing to the finer ones until all the scratches are gone then use the buffer pad with some Weimens glass top cleaner when I was done it made my glass cooktop look brand spanking new.
Other pans do it too, I think if they're moved back & forth. I'll try buffing my stove top to test before I replace it. Something took a chip out of mine too.
You did a wonderful job and found it very informative as my brothers has a flat top stove
Thank you.
THIS ACTUALLY WORKED!!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Awesome! I am glad that it was helpful! Thanks for watching, Kristen!
I dont use sandpaper that's way too rough, but I do use an attachment that has the same consistency as a scour pad. It'll make quick work of stubborn grease and spots, but without scratching the glass. Yes you'll still need a cleaning solution. A quick wipe at the end and let it dry, then I use the buffing attachment. It works every time. Sparkling clean. Almost like looking in a mirror :)
That's a big difference. Looks good. 👍🏾❤❤❤
Thank you!
You need mugh higher grits of sandpaper. 10-20000 grit. They use the ultra fine grit to polish scratches in aircraft windows. A good auto parts store has it in the auto body section. I have used it to take out light surface scratches in plastic lamminate countertops.
Aircraft windows are also a much softer Acrylic.
Great job guys! 👏👍💕
Thank you.
Much improved. And a money savings.
Thank you.
Great job. I'll definitely try it 😊
Thanks!
Wow! Big improvement !!
This is very similar to what I did to buff out the dingy headlights on my car a couple of years ago. Maybe your next post can be called "Amy Learns to change a timing belt". Always enjoy your posts and am looking forward to the time you are able to get back to your cooking videos.
Most of what you did on the headlights was removing oxidation, rather than leveling out scratches. This glass top is also much harder than your headlamps.
You don't even wanna tangle with your timing belt, homie. Lol
Looks good! considering the state it was in! Also you dont have to go and buy a new one straight away! Well done!
Thank you, Amy!
Our “Seniors only” HUD apartment building has been recently renovated, including a new ceramic cooking hob.
I certainly don’t want to look a gift horse in the mouth, so to speak but several of the materials used in the process are less than efficient for a “Senior” to keep clean 🫤
I would really like to keep my new apartment renovations looking as good as possible for as long as I can as I doubt they will ever be replaced again in my lifetime.
Your video has been extremely helpful to me for this purpose. Even if I have to purchase a new drill and buffer for this, I can doubtless use those items on other endeavors such as putting screws in my wall to hang wall decor items, etc.
Advancing age will likely limit my time for performing any of these tasks but for now, I value my independence and the ability to handle them.
I’m very glad that you made this video and that I found it! Yay! 🥰😘
❤
Yeah, I’m gonna try this! While I was making popcorn the other night, moving the pan back and forth over the ceramic hot plate. I made a big white scratch mark. Been using this small front hot plate a lot more then the other 3. Will see what happens. Thanks!
Did you have any luck?
Exactly what happened with me
This happened to me too 😢 any luck??
Same thing happen with me and popcorn, did it work?
It’s a keeper lol I want try it on mine my stove not quite as bad !! But it’s got scratches
It does look better! Good job!
Thank you Sharon.
@@EricLearnstoCook you're welcome Eric and Amy!
Amazing mine got burned so , I am going to try this.
super! thanks a lot! the print digits/circles won't be sand off?
I think your cooktop came out great. It looks much better. Happy moving in.
Great improvement!
Thank you
I have a bd scratch on mine so it was interesting to see how to possibly help reduce it.
I don't know what those white/ugly marks were. minor scratches? burnt on food? there are visible scratches. No cracks. I'd hate to use more abrasive sand paper to try to remove some of the scratches. If they're deep enough, then there's probably no way to remove them.
Well improved!
Thank you michele
Great job!!!! I’m doing very similar thing with our cook top still very dull tomorrow is another day
Amy, it looks like they used heavy pans and scooted them around on the stovetop. You can use cast iron, but don't scoot, pull or drag it. pick it straight up.
Looks Great !
Thank you
Amy and Eric. You guys did a pretty decent job on the cooktop. You can pat yourselves on the back for that.
This worked on my Samsung stove top. Started with 1500 then went to 2000. Wet sanding. Great results
Do you have an estimate of how much it cost you to do this? And how long it took you to achieve results?
Mine looked like that after I used a cheap aluminum pan form a place that rhymes with Walmart lol. I thought it was actual metal transfer from the pan bottom. I didn't really have any scratches just that ugly white/silver residue. I'll give this a try.
Yeah, Eric to the rescue! Awesome job. Teamwork makes the dream work!!! So long as the cook top is working I say use it. When your are finally settled in & unpacked & finances are on track, then replace if you want to. Be well.
Thank you Millie. Just frustrating that it's a beautiful kitchen with an eyesore of a cook top. Now it's better looking. So that was a cheap fix.
I have a knife scratch. Do you think it will help at least a bit? Should I give a try?
Metal hacks coming in for the glass cooktop. We stan lol good job!!
How has this method held up over time? Does the heat from the burners create that rainbow effect on the stovetop now that you've used the metal polish?
This is exactly what I was wondering
I found that the rpm of the drill effect the turn out . I used a Dremel with buffer on it at 10000 rpm. Worked
Nice. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
My white circle came from boiling potato’s and I fell asleep and the water evaporated and the potato’s burned in the bottom of the pot, the pot actually melted onto the glass it seemed. I just ordered all the items, I will let you know how it comes out! Ty for the information!
Hi, did you managed FO remove it ? I have melt metal from a non sticking pan I don’t know how to remove the metal
Just started watching, haven't read the reviews yet so if somebody else mentioned this I apologize. You should have used the foam pad on the glass or ceramic surface
W-O-W! Talk about using your ol' elbow grease! But it does look much better!
I was surprised at how much it helped. It is not 100% but it is better.
can it be used for car polish?
They make 1 and ½ micron diamond polishing paste that would without a doubt work. It’s used to polish gem stones and on strops for knife sharpening. So 1 micron is about the equivalent of 10,000 grit. The paste range from extremely coarse to extremely fine. Mirror finish
If the directions said to spread it on, Iet dry for one minute, and you did that the first application - why add more liquid and immediately use the buffer which naturally slung the polish everywhere?
Okay, I do this a lot with cars. Wet sand first then polish after.
wet & dry sanding disc on orbital polisher (or drill) 320 grit until scratches are gone. 500 to get rid of 320 grit marks. 800 to get rid of 500 grit marks.
felt disc next, use cerium oxide as the cutting compound and polish out the 800 grit marks to a shine.
glass surface = restored 👌
One more advise. Buffing goes after sanding as it polishes all the scratches sand paper did
It looks a lot better, I clean houses and I see a lot of stoves that looks like yours. Most of the the scratches is because they use cast iron skillets, also not cleaning them properly. I know a lot of people will say, you can use cast iron on them, but really you shouldn't. That's why I would not have a glass cook top because, I do use cast iron skillets.
I agree you gotta be careful with glass cook tops. Cast iron isn't easy on them. We have some scratches in our old home, but we really try to care for it. This cook top just looks massively abused. LOL.
The only cast iron I will allow to be used on my glass cooktop is the enameled type. No regular cast iron whatsoever. It can be done, but I just prefer to be cautious about it. Dragging heavy pots and pans across it will destroy a glass cooktop in no time.
Cast iron can develop burs, but the way I was taught to clean cast iron, there are no burs. My grandfather's cast iron was so smooth you could see your reflection.
Tip: Wet the buffing pad with water to stop the pad soaking up the polish.
First, I'm happy to see an actual attempt besides some stupid mild soap. When buffing you try your best to keep the pad flat and as you can see you were on an angle. There are different types of buff pads for different levels of polish. I can't see the scratches that are there so I can't determine are the deep or small. You might just need a finer polish for a next step. But kudos and thank you for the video
Use a cerium oxide polishing product. It is used by professionals to remove defects and light scratches from glass. Should apply with a mechanical polisher or drill accessory.
Hi Amy very nice 👍 looking good 👍
I always buy this specific ceramic cooktop cleaner that's made by the same company that manufactures the glass for electric cookers. You just need a damp sponge and some elbow grease and you can literally make the glass look like new. I've had my cooker for almost 5 years and it still looks amazing.
When I bought my stove there was a sample of this product included and I've been buying it ever since. It's called the Schott Ceran coocktop cleaner.
It's scratched not dirty
Beth, does it take out scratches? I bought a rental house and it's scratched. Thx.
@@dawnschwartz6099 it does take out the smaller ones. If you have any deep scratches they might get slightly less visible but will still be there unfortunately.
@@LilybethII thanks!
Yes you are right, have to clean every day with that cream and a scrubber provided before heating it again
I have it nice and clean for 11 years , but sooner or later scratches will come that will only go by sanding
Also #0000 Steel Wool, and #0000 Pumice Powder will clean without scratching glass
i use the SOS pads, with light to medium pressure "feeling" for spots so to speak (I do know how to wax/polish/clean cars so it's the same feel)
i have some glass cleaning kits in my detailing arsenal, but i haven't taken them out yet.
i'm sorta in the camp of leave that (meaning hardcore compounding) as your last result because you are taking a little off the finish so to speak
ive also just learned to live with these tops no matter how much care you put in will inevitably scratch
although we do have a very expensive stove and its not as bad as our previous one, however i yell at the wife when she drags pans on it and bangs on it
I know this video was old but maybe something that takes scratches out of a windshield on a car maybe a better choice for buffing
The white marks come from he metal on bottom of your pans. That is why he metal polish works.
If mine looks as nice as yours... I'm keepin' it....
My room mate did this and now the burner circles are gone
It needs to be metal for it to turn dark.
It only turn dark when used on metal
the paper towels could be the cause of the scratching as well. bounty especially
Microfiber towels are better
You dont want to make scratches,lift pans on and off don't slide or bang the surface ,its easy to clean but fragile and will crack and cant be repaired due to the extreme heat range it works under.
Yeah, we bought this house with this cooktop so I was trying to save it. The prior owner was rough on it. Thanks for watching!
You would think these manufacturers would have made the tops replaceable. Greed!
Greed, indeed 😒
Those are not scratches, those are metal markings from the cookware on the harder glass. Like chalk on a board
Start with 800 grit, then 1000, then buffing compound..
Sandpaper & a drill to polish, really? Have you tried a razor type scraper blade? I can see the buffer maybe but have never tried
Yeah really...those other methods obviously didnt work for us!
So I tried this exactly and while my stove top is 75% better this is not a cure for a scratched ceramic top stove. It helps tremendously however
”Put a small amount”
Maybe not use it like a desktop.
That sand paper is not fine enough!
It needs to go up to at least 5,000 grit starting at 800,1,000, 1,500, 2,000, 2,500, 3,000, 3,500, 4,000, 4,500 then 5,000.
Always buy a new set of pans when you buy a new ceramic top. Old ones are deformed
It's just a cooking top.... doesn't need to be perfection....
Baking soda and vinegar is all it takes . Leave it for 10 mins then wipe
It clean. It works 100 %🤣🤣🤣
Lift your pans, don't slide them. Who the hell abuses things so much
Me. I abuse constantly. I set something on the stove, come up with 3 more things to do, walk away, go to the store, whatever. In 48 years of marriage, I’d say six times it has occurred into a near disaster. I am not stupid, nor an idiot. But neither am I a good multi tasker, LOL. My most recent fiasco the worst, omg. Put the painted Rachel Ray cookware on the burner with water and a lid. It boiled dry, overheated, the paint stuck to the burner. In this scratched phase of repair and restore, now. Probably functions fine as a burner, but am trying to smooth the scratches down to one level and after we try the sandpaper it’s gonna be pretty fine. So yeah, I do lift, not slide, but I do abuse. No negative replies please. Moral of the story, if you leave the kitchen, turn off the burner so as to not incur such a consequence.
And love stainless steel cookware.
My in-laws 🤦🏽♀️ Things that seem *extremely* obvious and smart to you aren't to everyone. There's a steep learning curve with that one (for me).
not been funny but does it really matter??? as long as u can cook your food the quality of the cook top ant going to stop u eating now is it??? thats the main thing, what goes in ya tummy
LOL, a man's point of view.
Thank you Mark. You are totally correct in what you are saying. Unfortunately, it was more of an eye sore in a pretty kitchen. So it is functional, and many people are happy with that. But Amy really hated looking at it. Wished the prior owner would have replaced it since he did a lot of work to redo the kitchen. So Amy reduced the eye sore enough that we should be happy with it.
@@mskay949 functionality over appearance? nah!!! If so we'd be happy with Calphalon and not All-Clad. LOL.
@@EricLearnstoCook fooking women for u 😬bet they want it gold plated too
It would drive me absolutely insane to have a cooktop scratched up like that in my kitchen, so yes, it does matter to me. The previous owner should have taken better care of it as to not destroy it in the first place.
Are living in House yret
keep to light off 😂
😂😂😂
First thing to do is use A SHARP BLADE !!
Than buff it..
You have a drill.. why use your elbow grease?
It’s beyond me why anyone would buy a glass cooktop. I don’t mean you Amy, I know the house came with it. But glass cooktop,is not worth it at all!
We bought a Kenmore glass cooktop 20 years ago for our house in Cali. It was so much nicer than the electric coils one. But it would turn colors from the beige. Black looks better, but shows scratches. I know metal (gas) would not scratch. But you still must take care of it or the burners can start showing their age. I think all cooktops have their pros and cons.
Because it looks fantastic. I have one in all my houses around and it looks like new. Just clean it and you are all set.
Silly silly reply. Obviously gas is old word. Induction is the future
Because if you don’t have gas you would have to buy a coil which doesn’t have a lot of features or glass top . Just take care of it and you will have no problems.
What is the alternative, apart from gas?
Will never work. You can clean it but the scratches stay.
It's a shame that whomever used it before didn't take better care of the surface.
It's not in the machine straight muppet
I cringed when they started using sandpaper
It was a last effort to keep this cooktop out of a landfill and it worked. Nothing unusual about using fine grit sandpaper on glass to remove scratches.
@@AmyLearnsToCook Yes, fine grit sandpaper is used to clean stained car headlights. But it just does something to me to think about sandpaper hitting glass.
Omg it made me sweat, but it worked, I’m def doing it lol
Never ever use sand paper on a glass top 🤦♂️
Very fine grit sandpaper is used on glass all the time. 🤦♀️
lady has a very cute smile
Thank you for your kind words! I really appreciate it 💕
I hate glass cooktops. Unfortunately, now almost all home builders and rental properties have this nasty thing in home. I hate it! Useless!
