FAQs
What type of scratches can this kit remove?
The kit is effective for light to medium scratches, scuffs, water marks, lime scale, acid rain residue, adhesive particles, and hairline scratches.
Can this kit be used on automotive headlights?
Yes, the kit can be used on automotive glass, including headlights, to remove hazing and minor imperfections, restoring clarity.
How do I prevent creating new scratches?
Always ensure the surface is clean before starting and that you are using clean pads and discs. Start with the least abrasive method and progress as needed. Use even pressure and consistent motion.
What is the purpose of the interface cushion?
The interface cushion provides a softer, more conforming surface between the backing pad and the polishing pad or abrasive disc, allowing for better contact with curved glass surfaces and reducing vibration.
How often should I replace the abrasive discs and felt pads?
Replace abrasive discs when the grit becomes worn or clogged. Replace felt pads when they become significantly flattened, hardened, or show signs of wear and tear to maintain optimal polishing performance.
Is this kit suitable for deep chips or cracks?
No, this kit is designed for surface imperfections like scratches and marks. It is not intended for repairing glass chips or deep structural cracks.
Can I use the polishing compound without the abrasive discs?
The polishing compound is best used after the abrasive stages to refine the finish. Using it alone might not remove existing scratches effectively, but it can be used for light buffing or cleaning residue.
Troubleshooting
Glass remains hazy after polishing
Ensure you have progressed through all abrasive grits (P600, P1000) and used the polishing compound sufficiently. Clean the surface and reapply the compound, ensuring even pressure.
Polishing compound is not being picked up by the pad
Ensure the pad is clean and slightly dampened. Apply a small amount of compound directly to the pad or glass surface.
Drill/polisher is overheating
Reduce the speed setting on your machine and use lighter pressure. Allow the tool to cool down periodically. Do not run at maximum speed for extended periods.
Dust generated during polishing
Ensure the dust mask is worn correctly. Lightly misting the surface with water from the spray bottle can help control dust, but avoid over-wetting.
