Kent explains the test to determine what type of scratches can be removed and how to do it with his custom kit and a high-speed oscillating tool. Ryan is shocked! Link to windshield kit: mercedessource.com/store/wind... Link to aluminum trim polish kit: mercedessource.com/store/anod...
I had the same problem with fine scratches over the entire arc of the wipers. I got this kit as a Christmas present from me to me, and it worked like a charm. I can’t believe how much better my windshield looks, and no more diffused streaky headlights impairing visibility at night.
Nice to hear. Thanks!
I have the same issue on my 1990 R129 Mercedes. It passed the finger nail test so I purchased the kit. Hopefully, it works.
Thanks for everything Kent and team does for old MB owners like me!
Nice camerawork Kent! Good slow pans. Also Ryan seems like a good bloke, he should be on here more!
I have a nasty windshield as well, with one scratch being a little nastier than this. I tried to get it out by hand and with a drill and wool pad using AutoSol polish for metal, but it hardly did anything. My car is a BMW E46 Compact on which a dingus end didn't care for the windshield wipers or what was on/under them.
That's awesome! Thanks for the fingernail rule! 😁 Best wishes from Spokane!
This is a great video thank you!
Dear Mercedessource guys. 👍👌👏 Impressive result. Well done again. Thanks a lot for making teaching recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and health to all of you.
So fast !? That machine really works 50 times better than a rotating one 🤩

I need this!

Anyone try this? Does it really work?
That was most impressive! Has me wondering if toothpaste, Bon Ami, and a little water might work.
This is exactly what I need.
Did it work
I have that line in the windshield of my w210
What about headlights? The W124 has the plastic lens over the fog lights that could use this?
This polish is too course for plastics. I am doing another video on polishing plastic that will be posted in a week or so.
I should probably do this to my CLK, a new windshield is over 300€ and my insurance doesn't have windshield coverage, and even if it did they only pay for it if it has a crack.
Yea i have fine scratches from the wiper blade as well its bad.
Hi Kent. I’m working on fixing up my car and cleaning up the paint job. However inside the car some of the wood trim appears to be coming off. I have a 1984 300D. What type of adhesive should I use to stick it back down?
Depends a lot on what your sticking what to if you understand what I am trying to say. Wood to metal a good epoxy works well. Metal or wood to vinyl I use E6000. The trick is holding it in place until it drys. I use my front seats with different lengths of wood sticks and padding on each end and adjust the seats for proper pressure on the dash wood.
Mercedessource thank you! That’s a good idea. It’s on the dash area such as the glove box
So I can't figure out how to order this kit for the oscillator

I looked at the videos and the webpage, but the one question I have that I didn't seem to find an answer for is: how large of a windshield will one of these kits cover? I just purchased a 2010 GMC Sierra, and the 1st owner was a farmer and the 2nd owner was a younger lady. Between the two of them, the windshield is pretty scratched from the wipers, and some other actions. It is pretty bad driving at night. On top of that, the headlights have fogged over. So I know about all of the other methods to clear up the headlights. But will this work on those as well, or is this compound specially formulated for glass only?
Hi Jeremiah, It is not how big the windshield, but rather that many and how deep the scratches. If the scratches are so deep that you can stag your finger nail on them then this polish won't remove them. Light scratches on both wiper areas on a big shield this kit will do. It kind of sounds to me like you may be better off just buying a new windshield.
Awesome, what about an afterkit, wouldn't it film up like a headlight would
headlight covers are plastic (prone to discoloration). Windshields are glass!
@@Mercedessource wasn't sure if there was a glass coating that would need to be applied 🤷🏻
@@justinselby5755 Once you polish the windshield you can ceramic coat it. That will help water bead off as well as help protect against scratches from sand and dirt on the wipers.
great job on those fine scratches ! Sadly, a wiper popped off the other day and the naked steel arm end put a deeper scratch in the glass. Didn't pass the fingernail rule.
ME TOO BRO, so unfortunate
hi can you please help me where to find this tool and product in Sydney, Australia. I have these marks recently from overspray and I can't get them off at all. pls help...thanks you very much
I am sure it is not available as a kit anywhere in Australia as I developed the kit myself. We ship these all the time to Australia. Here is the link. mercedessource.com/store/windshield-fine-scratch-removal-and-glass-deluxe-polishing-kit-w-power-tool
@@Mercedessource I'm happy to buy but just a concern... i need half my windshield done but the ingredients don't look enough to cover that bigga job... what if i run out of your ingredients provided?
The compound goes a long way. We could add some extra. Please email your request to sales@mercedessource.com
@@Mercedessource what type of pad you use mate ? I’m in Melbourne but you don’t ship it internationally anymore, so wanted to know if the pad is wool or soft pad ? Thanks
Wow!
How do you order this kit
Be sure to do the fingernail test before ordering. Here is the link. mercedessource.com/store/search?keys=windshield%20polish
is there a way to fix scratch without the tool? i dont have that
Maybe you could rub real hard for a couple days. Never tried it. I am too old.. LOL
Where do I get the compound and pad

Whats the link to order kit?
Hi Wil, here is the link: mercedessource.com/store/windshield-fine-scratch-removal-and-glass-deluxe-polishing-kit-w-power-tool
I think it still did not remove those small tiny specks. I have millions of them and I am searching for a solution besides replacing the windshield.
Sorry, I don't believe there is anything that will easily remove sand or gravel pits in the glass.
is it caused from ice in the winter?
Highteckhobbies it’s caused from a variety of road debris and abrasion getting swept off the windshield over time by your wiper blades.
Highteckhobbies road salt and ice can be a factor in those scratches appearing
I'd assume bad wiper blades, excess dirt and grit on the windshield. Possibly from scraping ice off, depending on what's used I'd imagine. Glass can get pitted with wear and tear.
Fine grit being dragged across the glass by the wiper blade
Mine was because of a broken wiper blade adapter that attaches it to the car. I did not realize it was not holding well in place, and as it moved up and down it tilted too much that the plastic part of the wiper scratched it all in some days. It was a new bosch brand wiper, never thought it would fail that badly
