Thanks, I really appreciate the comment!
Works perfectly
Great to hear that! Thanks for the comment!
Great video ! Thanks much
Glad you liked it! Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for the video. My scrarch is more like your wiper scratch. I now believe I can get it out using the Cerium Oxide.
Glad I could help! Yes should work just fine. The more you work on the scratches the better it is.
very helpful
Thank you I appreciate the comment.
i use clear resin on the deep ones after scratches after buffing uv activate and then cut with razor blade gives it a final touch then another polish to remove highspots
I’ve removed scratches to an acceptable level using ceraglass, misting water, a rayon pad, and a 3 inch da polisher with an 8mm throw. However I don’t know how to remove the haze I’ve created. Any tips for which combo I should use? I have access to lots of polishes and pads.
Depends how bad the haze is but I use 3M micro finishing compound with a wool bonnet. There’s many products out there that may be better suited for glass though.
bought some wipers (wurth) and they really beat up my windshield in 2 days, will definitely try this :)
Thanks, it will work, the more you do it the better the clarity.
Thank you I subscribed! Very helpful videos!
Thanks for the sub! And for the feedback, much appreciated!
thank you for the video, very nice. where do we find the tip tool ??
Search on Amazon or eBay
Hi there , what is the name of the head you using on your drill ? Thank you ever so much !
It’s a 3 inch Felt Polishing Buffing Wheel. You can get it on Amazon in a kit with the powder.
Nice
Thank you
hi, any particular reason why you use the polisher on an angle instead of having the pad flat? does it have a more agressive cutting effect at an angle?
Yes
Thanks 😊
No problem 😊
Awesome! Just scratched mine very slightly (not noticeable with fingernail) but the old wiper left an arc just like yours. Will try this! ( they reccomend the red Cerium oxide but the white seems to work perfectly.)
Good luck, it works great. The more you go over the scratch the clearer it becomes.
Oh but don't get it twisted... it's gonna be some work.
Does the cirum better than the polish? Because i tried many polish and compound there isn't difference
Yes, it’s works great. Just follow the directions
could end up with wet patches left after wiper sweep if polish too deep?
No, this it for very minor scratches you can't even feel with your fingernail, it's not very abrasive at all but does a great job removing the wiper haze and scratches.
Would this also work on glass windows at home? I accidentally scratched nearly all my new glasses. Slightly but in the sun, a disaster
If you mean house windows, yes not eye glasses.
@@Motorcarnut damn must try this
I have some very small nibs they are needles on the windshield they’re not deep at all. Can this work for that?
If you are talking about road rash, no
My windshield is fuzzy because i tried to pokish it with headlight polisher. At night, i get lots of streaks. How to fix that ?
Can use a glaze compound with a polisher.
Hello, may I ask, I used a dry cloth in cleaning my car window and it leave dust scratches, it can be remove?
Yes you can!
I assumed it could be work on a pitted head light glass as well right?
Glass, yes not plastic
@@Motorcarnut Oh yeah great! Yes it's glass like the windshield Thank's man! Worth to give it a go! 🙏
Yes, just keep repeating the process till you’re satisfied
@@Motorcarnut I gotcha 👍
Faster and easier and practically impossible to screw up.....Ajax the widhield if you want you can use steel wool if you want but Ajax is fine ...once you notice the scratch has faded or has reduced in size ...clean up make sure completely no ajax residue what so ever ..then use any car polish on the windshield...it fills in scratches
You have to be careful because the windshield is obviously a safety issue and don't want to distort the glass with products not recommend for that purpose.
Hi! I got some minor scratches from my wiper blade. I think they're light scratches as I can't tell from outside, but it's lightly visible on the inside. Will this help remove the scratches from my windshield? I don't like having anything on my windshield.
If your fingernail doesn’t catch on the scratches then yes.
My windshield has lots of tiny specks/dents all over the entire surface, probably from oncoming tiny debris (sand or whatever) while on the road. Does it fix them too? Or is there a better way?
No, not really. It's more for wiper scratches, you will have to replace the windshield.
no
My windshield has many swirl marks and scratches but its not deep can cerium oxide remove it? Thanks
@tnvsarlannvillavert3637 yes
Nice work, where can i buy cerium oxide? Can u direct me to a supplier? Thank you
Thanks, it’s in the description.
Thank you for the great content. I have 2 questions 1. Does the cerium oxide leave a haze? Do you need to polish it with anything else to get clear glass after the cerium oxide or does it not leave a haze anyways? And the second question is: how long did it take you to remove most of the fine/smaller scratches you did first, 15-20minutes moving the polisher around or so?Thanks in advance from the Netherlands!
Hey Netherlands! Thank you so much! No, it does not leave a haze, and correct about 15 minutes, let the tool do it's job, don't rush it and it will come out great!
@@Motorcarnut so I tried it and the scratches faded a ton!! However, I did the whole windshield, didnt use pressure and went to drive it just now and I have noticed a ton of swirling and marring (evening hours). Im pretty sure this wasnt there before, must be the cerium oxide leaving swirls or maybe the marring just now became visible . What can I do? Use a finer/finishing polishing compound to smooth things out?
@Ryy22 It shouldn’t have left any swirl marks. Maybe the windshield was contaminated before and mixed together when you finished. Yes, if you have a polishing bonnet and some glaze or micro finishing compound it should take all those swirls out no problem. Just make sure to clean the windshield first then after for a crystal clear finish
@@Motorcarnut Thank you so much amigo, was worried there. You are truly so helpfull, god bless you man 👏
@Ryy22 Thanks bro! Much appreciated!
That's crazy, i've been watching a few videos from "professionals" removing scratches and cleaning windscreens and they all take around two hours to clean/ remove a few scratches and use at least $80 worth of products, do you recommend sealing the glass after polishing and if so what with please? Thanks.
People sometimes over do things. No I didn't use any sealer, but I do use rainx on all my windshields
@@Motorcarnut Yes they do, ok thanks, i have not tried that, i used Stoners invisible glass clean and repel once and it wasn't good!
Hey bro! Could you please tell me how much RPM I need to set in my polishing machine to remove the scratches from my windshield?
1500 to start with then 2000 to finish is fine. Don't worry if you go to slow or to fast, it's glass not paint and the powder is very minimal abrasive.
I have tiny scratches full on windshield, these scratches are not visible, but only at night when you are inside the car and you look at other people light or streets light. Is this common? Or does polishing help with it?
It's not that common. Always use quality wiper blades specifically soft rubber or silicon made. Most of the time wipers with dust on screen creates scratch marks.You should get screen polished by an expert
That process in the video will eliminate those tiny scratches
Possible site to purchase the material I used !!
Amazon
How to remove scratches from interior windshield?
Good question, not sure never tried but this way will be way too messy
What exactly did you use sir🙏
It’s in the video
My wiper blades clips got off and the metal hand gave a scratch on glass. Can this trick help?
If you can’t really feel the scratches with your fingernail then yes.
@@Motorcarnut what if you don’t feel them with you’re finger nail ? Can I just used polish ?
No, it won’t work. You can pick up that power and buffing wheel I used in the video pretty cheap on Amazon.
@@Motorcarnut where’s the link ? For buffer and pad !?
Gold Label Detailing Optical Grade Cerium Oxide 8oz Glass Repair Powder | Glass Window and Windshield Repair | Optical Grade, for use with Camera, Scope, Binocular Lens (8oz with 3" Felt Bob Wheel) a.co/d/iTKw21l
Can we use this method to remove scratches from mobile screen???? Will it work
I haven’t tried it so can’t really say.
Where do we can buy it?
Amazon or Ebay
Wiper Fine scratch Can remove?
Yes
Deep ones, have to be cut. Start with 180 then. 400 then 800. And finally 1500. Or finer. Then you polish.
I explained that in the video.
Polish with what ?
@@northwestrepairthe video shows the compound
what if you dont have a buffer machine
Rent one because you really can’t do this by hand
Does this work on a scratch made by dishwashing sponge?
Yes
Were you able to remove the scratch caused by dishwashing sponge using this?
Hello. Hows the result?
Bro 😂 Same thing I did on my car’s windshield. Used a fucing dishwasher cake 🤣🤣
This is helpful man thanks Have you checked days later when completely dry? 🙏 Sometimes scratches dissappear from being wet and get more visible slowly
No problem, thanks for the feedback. No, doesn’t come back and still looks nice and clear.
Can it work for a very thick wiper scratches?
If you can feel the scratch with your fingernail then it won't make them disappear but will be much better then not doing it at all.
I wonder if i can just use fast Orange on Foam pad and rub the scratches out.
I just tried this today and it scratched it worse
Fast orange and compound
@@travisshatswell1421 ouch
@@travisshatswell1421 seems safer to rub it in buy hand i do have DA polisher a nice one Meguiars MT300. So it is much safer to use then orbital. But i try out some fast orange by hand.
No, that product has grit in it and will scratch the surface and make it worse.
How do you remove scratches from inside of car windows?
Same way but could get messy.
Use heat torch you dont need any of this
Never use heat on glass unless you want to distort or destroy it
Auto wax works too. Car guys don't have to make an extra trip.
Not for very visible scratches, this stuff works best.
Auto wax ? Can you elaborate ?
@@michaelchu802 think he means polish
didnt work
Then either the scratch is too deep or you’re not doing it correctly as in video.
Better replace the window for your own safety.
It depends, if you do it the way I say, you’d be good. If the scratches are too big or bad then replacing it would be better.
Hideous video, you should never have your pad so wet, just a light misting of water of it is whats needed The solution is not doing is job effectively being so watered down like that
This is exactly how the manufacturer states how it’s done and it works great. Been doing this for 25+ years.
