I was going to replace all my windows. You saved me so much money thank you for this!

Best instructional video. period. You show us grits, time, temperature, pressure, rpm, technique.... Kudos. ... and thanks.

This is a great video and resource for auto detailers who might want to add this service to their menu. Wiper scratches in the windshield and other light damage would probably be easily treated with your method and products. However, glass is much harder than paint and cerium oxide is a very aggressive abrasive. Either mask the paint or wash the car when you're finished. The technician wiped off the surrounding sling on the paint with a dry towel. He just installed a bunch of micro scratches and swirls to the paint on the door frame and adjacent roof area. Other than that, cool video.

I just used this method on my 78 firebird with heavy scratches especially at the rear of the door glass and got every last scratch out . Thank you Omer BarSadeh for this post!

The only video at youtube with such precise details. Thanks.

Most comprehensive, short and clear explanation, thanks a lot!

I especially liked the tip about being careful when it came to heating up the glass.

Man, this was one good video...👍 Short, informative & articulate. Very, very nice..I wish all diy videos on KZread were like this, learned what I wanted to know about what I'm searching for without all the melodramatic interjection & unnecessary babbling that so many find it necessary to include in videos. Thanks

I agree 100%, so many YT videos in general are a waste of time.

That was satisfying to watch. I have scratches on only my 2 front windows of my F150 from the previous owners rolling the windows down so much, so I’m gonna try and give this a shot.

I used these techniques and fixed my scratches in about 30 mins. I just used the cerium oxide as my scratches were small. Works great.

Great steps by steps procedures,thank you

Assalamualaikum, Brother Omer. Many thanks for making this video. One of the best videos on KZread without making confusion about what to do (step-by-step). I will try this weekend with the Cerium Oxide as my scratches are very minimal. Once again, many thanks. Jajak-allah...

My friend; What is the mixing ratio of cerium oxide and water? Can you please tell? Thanks

If the car window has a slight tint from the factory is this method safe to use. I have no idea how the original tint is applied, if its throughout the layers, on the inside or on the outside of the glass. Was worried , if it was on the outside then it could be removed when sanding and on the front windscreen would need to sand the whole panel including the edges to be uniform.

that's a thumb up, nicely done. So the same process applies to the windshield as well or some extra precautions are required ? Thanks.

Thank you Madhav. Yes it does. But working glass that is curved requires a little technique and knowledge in order to properly feather the area you are working on.

Question, a slurry of Tin oxide would also bring the same result with the final polish would it not? Also when cutting why don't you guys run water when you polish the glass for temperature control like other stone industry's?

😋 great, awesome

Not really. The interior side of a curved glass, does not let the disc lie flat against the glass. The end result is the edges of the disc cutting into the glass.

No. Those tints are a thin treated coating on the inside of the glass. Any polishing will lessen the thickness of it in some spots, giving a blotchy and uneven tint with some spots being darker than others.

I didn't hear once through the whole process what heat temp to avoid, does anyone know?

Why should a professional do the edges? Is it to negate damage to surrounding surfaces or will something happen to the glass?

I tried the Abralon 360-500-1000. But for some reason they don't seem to last very long.

The most important thing mentioned in this video is the use of a respirator. DO NOT use a dust mask. The respirator with P100 filtering is necessary to prevent glass dust from getting in your lungs, causing them to fill with fluid, killing you. If you manage to just get a little in your lungs, you'll likely get silicosis and that will take longer, but the end result is still a miserable death.
