Hi Steve, thank you for your inquiry. If used correctly you should not distort the glass. You wont need to polish the whole tank but you will need to make the damaged area a little bigger when using the abrasive to avoid getting a distortion and blend it in.

When using the abrasive pads is where you can create a distortion in the glass. You have to be mindful not to concentrate on one specific are for too long and try to use a bigger are to smooth it out on the rest of the pane. staying on one spot will create a dish like distortion and using too much of the edge of the backing pad will make it bounce on the glass causing ripple effect. Done properly there should be no distortion looking head on through the glass. Even with some tempered/toughened glass there is some natural distortion looking sideways on at the glass it also depends on how much damage you are removing and how deep the damage is.

To help with optic distortion, make sure to keep the grinding discs as flat as possible. Keep heat to a minimum. Bellow 120 degrees Fahrenheit would be best. To keep the grinding disks as flat as possible, it is best to use larger discs and a machine that is not a drill. A automotive type polisher is best for this as you can place your hand flat on the head of the polisher to hold the grinder on the glass, being careful not to press too hard. Let the abrasive do its job, pressing too hard will make it dig unevenly into the glass. Another tip to avoid distortion is to keep the glass clean and dry. There is no need to touch the glass as he did, use an inferred thermometer to check temp. The oils from your hand will make the grinding disc slip thus leaving a high spot where you touched it. Also, hot glass and cold water is a recipe for broken glass. Lastly, instead of only doing side to side motions while grinding, also do up and down motions. Alternating each time you go over the repair area. Always step out the repair area half the width of the grinding disc each time you do a pass. Hope this helps! 😊

It seems that the polishing process is highlighting the existing hairline scratches. This can happen when the compound penetrates the tiny scratches, making them more visible. • Before proceeding with the polishing stage, it's crucial to ensure that all scratches are adequately removed. Spend extra time with the blue GlasX60 abrasive, focusing on achieving a nice, uniform haze across the area without any visible scratches. • Once you have achieved a uniform haze without visible scratches, proceed to the polishing stage.

However, after three hours, the glass felt smoother but line of the scratches were still visible. It seemed when the pads were brand new they worked pretty good however, there was a significant drop in performance after about 30 seconds of use. I constantly tapped off the particles on the pads as instructed. I did not notice a large amount of glass particles like shown in the video. My glass never got hot (ambient temp outside where the glass was about 30 degrees F). Is there a coarser grit disc that I should have started with (as opposed to the green ones)? My polisher was set on 2000 rpm and I applied light to medium pressure on the polisher. I gave up because 3 hours seemed excessive based on the video demonstration of around 40 minutes. Help!

Thank you for reaching out and providing detailed feedback on your experience with our kit. We appreciate the time you spent and the effort you put into using the kit. It's essential to note that the green GlasX120 pad you used is designed for scratch removal, and the blue pad (Glas60) is intended for pre-polishing. For extremely deep scratches, we do have a coarser pad called GlasNet200, which is primarily used for grinder and welder splatter removal or very deep scratches. A few tips for optimal performance: • Ensure the sanding discs are completely dry, and the glass surface is also dry. • Make sure the backing pad is completely flat on the glass. • While sanding, maintain a constant speed with your drill and apply moderate pressure. Additionally, if the scratches are particularly deep, you might consider starting with a coarser disc before progressing to the GlasX120. The video tutorials kzread.info/dash/bejne/aaCFpriloa69ctY.html demonstrate how and why GlasNet200 discs are used. I hope these tips prove helpful, and if you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out, or drop us an email with your contact phone number, and one of our team members will schedule a phone call. email: contact@glasspolishshop.com

Try it on a small spot to see how much work is involved. Use paper towels, not a rag or towel, as the powder will just go into the cloth and not work. a little water, powder and some elbow grease and it works great. It doesn't take much. a little goes a long ways. Use like you would cleanser. Once it's clean, use a squeegee after showering so you won't have to do it again for a long time.

Thank you for your enquiry. Yes of course this works well on upvc double glazed windows, in fact the glass we are repairing in the video is a double glazed unit.

In general no there is nothing else that could go wrong, if you are working on laminated or float glass then you should keep the temperature in check because overheating can cause it to crack, as long as you follow the step by step instructions and take your time you will be fine. If you mean a manufactures coating on the glass then in a double glazed unit the coating is inside the glazed unit so there will be no problem with that. If there is an after market window film on the glass then it has to be removed before any repair can be done.@@TimHarrison1

@@GlassPolishShop Cracking due to heat is my biggest concern. How hot is too hot? How do you know without touching and how often should you spray cold water on it?

You can use an infrared thermometer to check the temperature. If you don't have one, the only way to gauge the glass temperature is by using the palm of your hand. The maximum temperature you can reach during the process depends on the type of glass you are working with. For example, mirror or laminated glass can reach temperatures of up to 48 degrees Celsius, while tempered glass can go as high as 82 degrees Celsius.

I tried it on my Alfa 156 (4 yrs old) windscreen. Wiper blade marks from previous owner. I tried to make sure I didn't overheat the area but failed and the section went slightly opaque 😡

• The reason you have the cloudiness left is that you may have used the side part of the abrasive when removing the scratches, as this is not as worn down as the inside it may have scored the glass and caused this to happen. When removing the scratch using an abrasive disc, you want to use the pad completely flat and try not to stop on the same spot when removing the scratch; this will prevent you from causing glass distortion. • Before starting the polishing process, make sure that the surface has a uniform clouded appearance (by looking at the picture, this has not been achieved yet). To remove the marks you have in the picture, we recommend spending more time with the blue pad flat on the glass and a constant speed of about 2000rpm. • Please note polishing glass is a time-consuming process. The video has been edited from over 40 min long to only 7 min. The restoration process takes time, especially for someone who never used our or similar systems before. • When polishing, don’t be afraid to experiment with speed and pressure. Lower the speed to about 1000-1400 rpm and put the pressure to 5-10 lbs to help the polishing compound break down more quickly and get better results. • If the glass is still cloudy or some abrasive marks left by the Blue disc are still visible, you may need to use more compound and polish for a little longer. Remember that using too much water while polishing will dissolve the compound.

However, when working on mirrors, you will need to pay closer attention to temperature control during the process compared to working on standard glass. To assist you further, please send us a picture of the mirror you wish to polish, and let us know the specific type of damage you are looking to address. Whether it's scratches, haziness, or any other issue, providing us with these details will help us provide you with more precise guidance.

Thank you for your inquiry. Obviously this all depends on the depth of the damage and size of the damaged are. An area of around a foot square with damage you can feel with your fingernail would typically take around 20-30 minutes.

Why are you polishing fish ?

I guess if the window was expensive enough this would be justified but this is a lot of work for 1 scratch. Replacing most windows seems like would be cheaper than the time involved.

Yes in some circumstances small windows and panes of glass will be cheaper to replace as glass can be relatively cheap to buy and if you know how to de-glaze and fit the new pane.
