Each driver wants his "iron horse" or "beloved baby", in the sense of a car, to look one hundred percent. A sparkling body, bright eyes-headlights, brand new windows and wheels - beauty, whatever you say. However, alas, the tires wear out over time, the headlights become cloudy, and small road stones do their dirty job. I have to think about how to polish the glass, because a good owner of a car should always have a respectable look, and scratches should not be here.
You can solve this problem by contacting the workshop. Professional services and good equipment will certainly lead to the desired result, however, it will cost a lot. With small scratches and marks from the wipers, you can handle it yourself. And here the question arises of how to polish the glass.
In our world, everything is simple, and almost all consumer requests, modern manufacturers have already given their answer in the form of a finished product. You can buy polishing powder in specialized stores, and as an equipment you can use a conventional drill equipped with a special nozzle. A grinder or grinder in this case will not work, since polishing the glass is possible only at fairly low speeds (1200-1700).
Preparatory work is required. This is a thorough cleaning (a normal glass liquid is suitable) and a mandatory stroke of the damaged areas with a marker, and marks are made from the inside. Do not forget to cover the machine itself with a protective film, and glue its edges around the windshield with tape so that the liquid and splashes do not get where it should not. By the way, it will be useful to take care of protecting yourself and the walls of the garage from unnecessary pollution.
Now directly on how to polish the glass. The powder, approximately 80-150 g, is diluted with ordinary water until a creamy consistency is obtained. If a drill is used during operation, a special mandrel with Velcro is attached to it, and then a felt circle is applied to its surface. In the process, wipes and a bottle of water equipped with a sprinkler may also be needed. A little prepared mixture is applied to a felt wheel and rubbed on glass without turning on the polishing equipment. Then, carefully, without excessive pressure, at a slight angle, move the working device within the desired area (it is better if it is small -25 X 25 cm). The main thing is not to let the polish dry, and for this you need to constantly spray the glass surface with water. At the end, the treated area is wiped with a cloth to make sure that the defect has disappeared. If necessary, the process is continued.
Important!!! Before polishing glass, on which there are significant chips - repair it. Otherwise, getting rid of small scuffs, you risk getting a big crack.
Illumination of the road is one of the most important factors for safe driving. Headlamp light of appropriate brightness is of particular importance, and yellowness, pollution and other defects interfere with normal operation.
How to polish glass headlights? In about the same way as a windshield. With the only difference that, if desired, the headlight itself can be removed so as not to think about protecting the body. For the best effect, initial sandpaper processing is recommended, followed by a polishing compound. Some especially economical motorists use
toothpaste instead of a special
powder , and claim to be satisfied with the result. The choice is yours.
