QUOTE(Superman07 @ Apr 3 2019, 02:38 PM) There is a specific glass polish as per my knowledge but for this kind of stuff, probably you want to get professionals to do it. My colleagues tried doing glass polish by himself and ended up changing the whole windscreen. QUOTE(#Victor @ Apr 3 2019, 03:56 PM) QUOTE(blurcase @ Apr 3 2019, 04:17 PM) Generally, the correct compound to use to polish and windows is compounds that contain cerium oxide (key component). This is even available in pure powder form and can be used to polish windscreens once added with some water to make a paste. However, it depends on what defect u are trying to remove. Are u trying to remove water marks/spots or scratches? Does your rear windscreen have wiper attached (like typical hatchback cars or SUV), or no? I have this Osren Perfect Cut 2.0 and was thinking of using this to try out. Its hidden in my store somewhere so thought of checking with sifus here before digging and attemptAlso, just to note that side mirrors are not the same glass material as the windscreens, so removing waterspots with this method is highly NOT advisable. On a side note, there is another method that is highly NOT recommended historically to clean waterspots, which is by means of using acid. However, in my recent polishing round of my wife's car, I had found that acid with the right dilution can still be highly effective and still safe (to a certain degree) to use. I do have to note that I have only tested it on one car (Toyota Altis) windscreens, and results may differ for other cars. Nonetheless, I believe it is worth sharing it as well. Hmm, if your friend ended up changing the windscreen, that would mean the polish he used scratched his winscreen more than removing waterspots. Perhaps u could share what he used and how he did it for our analysis? This post has been edited by StevenL: Apr 3 2019, 06:00 PM |

QUOTE(V429 @ Apr 17 2020, 09:38 PM) By 'watermark' do you mean dark lines running down from places such as door handle and side mirrors? Or watermark as in dried water droplets on car paint? Also, mind sharing what cheap wax you got last time and how did it spoil your car? This post has been edited by StevenL: Apr 18 2020, 12:57 PM |

QUOTE(hahakat88 @ Apr 17 2020, 10:06 PM) . Thanks for the recommendation, it's a bit on the pricey side at RM109 per bottle on Lazada, https://www.lazada.com.my/products/turtle-w...Pfhz0J&search=1 Is there any cheaper alternative? maybe RM60-80 per bottle is ok... Attached thumbnail(s) |

QUOTE(woodentiger86 @ Apr 22 2020, 01:50 PM) Just did a quick DIY on a small area [too small in the end] during my lunch break: Your handphone no led light ke? I didn't take the end result after removing the tape cos I seriously couldn't see if the swirls were reduced against the untreated areas. Will wait for brighter sun to be out to assess the paint again. |

QUOTE(woodentiger86 @ Apr 23 2020, 03:27 PM) That's cool bro. How's the effect on the screen? Similar or better water beads like Soft99? I've not used others besides RainX but SnS seems to be much better than RainX. I'm happy with the result and no streak though provided you wipe good off itWould be interesting to try also since I tend to use S&S for paintwork - worry will streak on the glass areas. |
