Each driver must monitor his car very carefully. You can not ignore the car glass, because they show who is sitting behind the wheel. If they are not scratched or damaged, it is immediately obvious that a person takes care of his car, pays due attention to it, and is not indifferent to what to drive. Polishing car windows is a rather complicated process, but without it, no car will look presentable. In addition, the procedure can be performed with your own hands, if the degree of damage is not very large.
Most often, defects can only be partially removed, because the process itself is very laborious. Glass polishing involves the use of tools such as polishing and diamond sheets, polishing wheels, as well as abrasive materials (sheet). The recovery technology itself can be different, it depends on the place where the defects are located and the type of glass. In some cases, no cleaning should be done.
Polishing a car's scratches will help in removing shallow defects. This method is suitable for you if you need to remove a layer with a thickness not exceeding one micron. In this case, you need to use a paste with a low level of grit.
There is another way that will help remove deeper damage - photopolymer. It will help if the scratches reach three hundred microns, here manual work is already powerless. Using the above methods, you can remove 80% of the scratches from the windows of your car. Well, if the damage is very deep and exceeds 300 microns, then it is worth letting grinding into the case. Most often, this process is carried out manually, but if the glass area is large, then you can use an electric polishing machine.
Polished glass. Main materials
- A paste containing boron carbide.
- Sandpaper (sandpaper).
- Paste with boron nitride. It is important to choose the grain size of the material in order to remove the desired layer.
Usually polishing the glass takes no more than four hours. If it is necessary to remove a thick layer, the process is divided into several stages. It is important to remember that each subsequent step is necessary to reduce the level of grit. Since there is a great chance to spoil the glass, the process must be performed as carefully as possible.
Polishing steps
- Get ready for glass processing. To do this, wash it thoroughly, in addition, close the body with a special protective film.
- Only polished glass remained. Apply a special chemical to the polishing disc and get started. Remember that each subsequent approach needs to reduce the abrasiveness of the paste. It is important to know that the last step must be done manually, without the use of electric cars.
- Rinse the glass surface thoroughly.
Thanks to this technology, you can achieve really good results. If you perform the process correctly, then the old, scratched glass in the end can take a pleasant look. The main thing to remember is that glass is a fragile substance that can be easily broken if the rules are not followed. When using an electronic machine, you need to delimit your forces evenly so as not to damage the surface.
