Re: Glass polishing that REALLY WORKS!!

OK,

here is the link to the polishing kit. As I said it is not cheap! But I have used many other kits that had mediocre results.
As far as to how much time it takes, I am still on a learning curve and teaching myself as I go. So far I have about 10 hours into the rear window of this 65 coupe. What I did on it was to remove the moulding wear marks and a couple dozen scratches.
I think the next 64-67 coupe rear window will take 2/3rds the time.
As far as a skill level to do this..if you have experiance sanding and polishing paint then you should be able to teach yourself to do this.

Hey Bruce I agree with you it aint cheap, thats what I said. But you got sevral things to factor in here.

This is not a lick and a promise kit you can get off the internet. I have tried those only to be completly let down. If you take the time you can do distortion free repairs that are undetectable with this kit. Also I have removed grooves that were WAY deeper than 1/32". I have NEVER been able to do that before.
This process is not for the local cruse night car it is for someone that wants to retain as many original parts on thier car as possible. I have used many repro windshields and let me tell ya NONE of them fit like and original. I have had glass that was 3/16" to wide or the shape was not right. Try fitting the mouldings on one of those!!
This is not for the guy that just wants to have a top flight, this is for the owner that is looking to do whatever they can to move from a 99.7 to a 99.8 or better at a national. (obviously this alone won't do that but it is the sum of decisions like this that will do that).
I have had many many customers whose cars I restored and There is just a select few that would have decided to do this if I had the ability when I was restoring thier cars.
This is someting that will help me make better cars for my customers. It is also something that a group of friends can split the cost on. If you add up the price of all new glass on each car you do it ain't cheep and this could save money for them plus let them also be able to retain the original parts.

I used to walk by used glass at swap meets but now I will start buying them and polish and sell them. wouldn't it be cool to be able to buy an original dated windshield, vent window, side window or back glass for your car?
Anyhow enough rambeling on my part. I was just very excited to find this product and wanted to share.

If anyone can't see the pictures I'll be happy to e-mail them to you. I have no idea why some can and some can't.

here's the address:

Re: Glass polishing that REALLY WORKS!!

Impressive results but an impressive price. I think I can live with my side glass scratches. I always drive with the windows down anyway.

Re: Glass polishing that REALLY WORKS!!

I can see the pics, and they look great. And if the cost is too steep for some (which probably includes me), then don't buy it. Thanks for sharing Rich.

I have not been able to see the pictures when viewing the posts that are shown, but if I look at the list of the posts that is displayed before the actual posts, I see a statement around the middle of the list that says that "more posts below current depth". If I click on that statement more posts are displayed, that include the ones with the pictures of the windshield. Can someone tell me what this is about? None of the other forums that I get on have this list, and I can see all of the posts.

Re: Glass polishing that REALLY WORKS!!

I have been successful removing scratches from glass using a variety of methods. But each time I have been less than happy with the results. On tinted glass even though the imperfection has been removed the tint is now a lighter shade. On non tinted glass in certain lights and angles you can see waves in the glass. All polishing removes material unless you remove the same amount of material from the whole piece of glass (think block sanding a hood or quarter panel) then the window will either be different colors (shades of tint) or wavy.
