I'm so glad to see ya using those horses and not kneeling on the Crete. When you hit 70 all that catches up. I started practice welding patch panels on some 66 goat doors and trunk deck lid. I've got used glass that needs some love so I'll definitely be trying this. My daughter in law is a really good stick, gas, and wire feed welder and is giving gramps lessons on plug welding. She's way prettier than you and only lives a mile away. The pumpkin's looking great.
Lol. That’s nice to have help that is easy on the eyes but I am kinda hard to beat so she must be something 😉. Thanks for watching and enjoy you lessons.
Cool. I forgot to mention if doing this with the glass still in the car do a through cleaning/rinse off when done. The dust will possibly leave rust stains.
Well worth the time to clean, polish and salvage your OEM glass. I bought all new repop glass for my restoration and regret it deeply. Wavy near the edges, not clear, a lot of glare, etc. The aftermarket glass just is not the same quality.
@@VinylVillageGarageI have an older t-tops car, and the side glass is hard to locate. Both sides, especially the driver's side had deep scratches from bad, dirty window scalpers. I researched and ended up buying a dry glass sanding/polishing kit. It actually took the surface of the glass off, then with the finer pads, brought it back. Slight abberations are barely noticeable, but as it was my first time, am very happy. No one else can see them.
Great tip but does the 0000 steel wool come apart? I’ve always had to blow off whatever I’m working on using this technique on because if you don’t you will have tiny rust spots when that item gets rained on. But maybe because it’s 000 instead of 0000? Idk if you ever experienced this. Sorry for the rambling
Great tips, I will really need this info for some of my glass, well as soon as im not homeless anymore lol. Keep up the great work. The Great Pumpkin is really coming along, it is looking beautiful and congrats on the 5K subscriber mark.
@@VinylVillageGarage Works on decals, stickers, and adhesives on glass and metal, like bumpers. It may work on overspray on car glass, haven’t had to deal with that. The great thing is that they won’t cut or gouge like single edge razor blades can. Cleans up paint on painted home windows. Wife uses them to help clean dirty stainless appliances and kitchen counters.
Do you have any tips for getting rid of actual scratches in the windshield? I've heard toothpaste or clear nail polish, but haven't tried anything yet.
Can I talk you into painting it stock light blue metallic or black with red ho stripe or red with black ho stripe and then sell it to me? You can keep the motor. I have built 455 to drop into it. Thanks - Happy Fathers Day.
I use to deliver glass for many years. U can clean them like u did but if u have scratches a little rubbing compound with a spritz of water and low rpm works great. Keep it wet and moving and u can polish just a bit. Even a little baby powder with right scrubber works on deep scratches. Also keep a light behind the glass as u look at it cause u would be surprised how bad old glass looks. Buy American made glass if u can cause Chinese crap has horrible laminate and fitment.
Great looking glass. Great tip for cleaning. Thanks for sharing 👍
Anytime, works great especially on overspray
That’s a good little hack an old timer showed me when I was a kid. My glass was always smooth. 🍻
Same here learned this one years ago and figured it needed shared again.

Great tip. I would have never thought of using that.
Someone told this a long time ago and didn’t believe it at first….until I tried it and wow!
wow. who would have thunk it. lol. I did the razor blade technique with my last car but believe me, i will pick up some steel wool today! thanks Jon.
Right on
Thanks for sharing your secrets!
Anytime!
Great tip! I have the same issues with my glass.
Right on. It’s an easy cheap process and I feel I have less of a chance of damage to the glass over the razor blade.
@@VinylVillageGarage
Very true!
Awesome! Already got 2 packs of 0000 GONNA DO IT! 😅🔥🐥

Indeed the original fits much better, I have to get a windshield so
Hopeful it works good.
Thanks for the informative vlogs John!!👍🏽
You bet!
You have all the best ideas!!
Appreciate that!
Thanks Jon this will help right away
Cool. Right on, glad to help
Great DIY info!! Thank You for doing these videos and sharing your knowledge!! Pontiac 😎❤️👍🏻
You are so welcome!
I did the same, works well on that stuff, but not deep scratches. looks good.
Good deal. I have yet to find anything that does a great job at removing scratches.

Used to work great on chrome bumpers also.#0000 steel wool.
Yup works great on that as well 👍

Most certainly it will potential leave rust behind. Good point a serious cleaning should be done once finished
Far out! TYVM for the tip!
Glad to help!
That looks like Verdoro Green paint!
👍

Still homeless, you need to find a place to bring that bird home to. And soon. FirebirdFest will be here before you know it.
@VinylVillageGarage were still homeless lol. Someday I hope to be able to cruise it all over.
@@shaggyscarshop I am sure you will be, hope to see it someday as well
@@VinylVillageGarage That would be awesome. Hopefully someday i can make it your way and maybe even to firebird fest.
@@shaggyscarshop sounds great to me
Nice 💪😎
Thanks ✌
I do this all the time. Only problem is that if you aren't careful it will cause abrasions on the glass.
It’s possible for sure, part of the reason I only use 0000 steel
Wool
Not sure if it was mentioned but plastic “razor “ blades are available online and at most paint stores.
Haven’t tried those yet. Do they work good on removing overspray

Not that I have found that works great. There are some things to make it better but to remove entirely no luck for me so far.
@@VinylVillageGarage I appreciate it, thanks.

Happy Father’s Day! This is not my car to sell and he is rather attached to it too.

Thanks for the tip. I will give it a shot.
Great tips but please protect your toes 😂😂😊JR
I am bad about that, just so easy to slip on and off and not track crap into the house so I don’t get it from the miss’s
i use 0000 steel wook to clean glass then wax it
Me too! No wax in the garage especially before painting
