Hi all,
My car has fine scratches on the rear windshield and long scratches at the bottom of one door window, from a rotary disc while rubbing back the door for respray.
I did remove a lot of them on the rear windshield and rear quarter window a couple of years ago with rotary abrasive discs and finished off with Cerium oxide, but I wasn't totally happy with the result, I still had less scratches on the back windshield and small dull spots, I needed to spend more time polishing with the Cerium oxide! One mistake I did trying out sanders was I try an orbital sander, big mistake, I then had little circular scratches!
The last couple of days ago I started removing scratches from the rear windshield, it is coming up ok but very slow!
You watch the YouTube videos all they do small patches as easy as, but over a larger area I'm struggling!
I'm using a 3" rotary kit off Ebay for grinding the scratches and then a hand block to get an even finish, and a Makita sander for polishing with felt pads with brown Cerium oxide! I may need the get a softer buffer sponge disc!
I intend to remove the door window from the door and separate from the window frame next week?
Maybe in should remove the rear window and work on it on a set of saw horses! I have removed the boot lid to make access easier.
Has anyone on the forum got some tips at all, different type buff disc, or a better glass paste or is white Cerium oxide better!
Anyone got experience!
Cheers Phil.
