The last thread I found on this topic is almost 10 years old so thought it would be worth revisiting. I bought a set of tinted side glass that looks pretty good but has a patina of minor pits, scratches and scale you might expect from 50 year old glass. They'll need to be polished before I can use them. Anyone done this or have any suggestions or tips? There are lots of YouTube videos and other sources that make it look easy, but it's always nice to get help from people you trust and aren't trying to sell you something.

Windshields ? no problem.
Side glass...no way. Very different glass properties I have early tinted side glass with areas of scratches. I've spent hours attempting to remove these blemishes with a firm polishing head on a polisher /sander machine. I used a kit that included rare earth , instructions and a proper polishing wheel. Maybe it can be done but no luck for me. Seek professional help. Attached thumbnail(s) |
