Anyone ever polished their screen? Mines the original screen, with the number plate etched in to it by a bloke in B and Q car park, Bessimer Road, Cardiff; for my old man in 1981....so I'd like to avoid simply swapping it. There a couple of wiper scratches, some weld spatter and one bit looks like someone ran a flap wheel it....the wiper scratches are the only ones in drivers line of sight. Anyone polished theirs, what did you use? Any tips?
I once bought a kit with cerium oxide and polishing pads while on pilgrimage to Trago Mills at Liskeard.. It did a fair job of hiding scratches by filling fine scratches with the oxide which was melted into the glass by the polishing pad. But it involved turning deeper scratches into wider valleys with 2400 grade wet and dry that you polished smooth, that then cause optical distortion. Which can be harder to look through than scratched flat glass.
I can’t see how some mares lipstick who works at a jewellers is going to work Moony Don’t listen to them
i have used fine wet and dry to get some grinding marks out of my glass and it came up ok... fine paper and lightly does it............... depends how bad it is really
We do it at work ,4 grades of pad the cream polish ,can take ages it depends on how deep the scratches are ,as Mike said it can cause distortion . If your not carefully you could end up with a prescription windscreen.!!!!
Talking screens what causes the minute prism ‘s in screens , someone is saying desert sand ? Looks like disco ball ?
I honestly don't know , I don't really get involved with the windscreens just polishing them if there's no one else to do it. I'm the window tinter..
