How to polish the car's glass and lights? Answers here

Every driver wants his "iron horse" or "beloved baby", in the sense of a car, to look all the way. A shiny body, bright eyes-headlights, brand new glasses and wheels - beauty, whatever you say. However, alas, the tires wear over time, the lights are cloudy, and small road stones do their "black" business. We have to think how to polish glass, because a good owner of a car should always have a respectable look, and scratches are not the place.

You can solve this problem by contacting the workshop. Professional services and good equipment will certainly lead to the desired result, however, it will not be expensive. With small scratches and traces from the wipers, you can manage yourself. And then the question arises as to how to polish the glass.

In our world, everything is simple, and almost all consumer requests have been answered by the modern manufacturers in the form of a finished product. You can buy a polishing powder in specialized shops, and as an equipment you can use an ordinary drill equipped with a special nozzle. The Bulgarian or the sanding machine in this case will not work, as it is possible to polish the glass only at sufficiently low revs (1200-1700).

Preparatory work is compulsory. This is a thorough cleaning (the usual liquid for glasses is appropriate) and mandatory tracing of the damage spots with the marker, the marks being made on the inside. Do not forget to cover the machine itself with a protective film, and glue its edges around the windshield with adhesive tape so that the liquid and splashes do not get to where it should not be. By the way, it will be superfluous to take care of protecting yourself and the garage walls from unnecessary pollution.

Now directly on how to polish the glass. The powder, approximately 80-150 g, is diluted with ordinary water until a creamy consistency is obtained. If a drill is used during work, a special velcro mandrel is attached to it, and then a felt circle is applied to its surface. In the process, you may also need a napkin and a water bottle equipped with a sprinkler. A little prepared mixture is applied to the felt circle and rubbed on the glass without turning on polishing equipment. Then, carefully, without excessive pressure, move the working device at a small angle within the required area (preferably, if it is a small -25 X 25cm). The main thing is not to let the polish dry, but for this you need to constantly sprinkle the surface of the glass with water. At the end, the treated area is wiped with a tissue to ensure that the defect has disappeared. If necessary, the process continues.

Important!!! Before polishing the glass, on which there are significant chips - repair it. Otherwise, getting rid of small scuffs, you risk getting a big crack.

Illumination of the road is one of the most important factors of safe driving. The light of the headlamps of appropriate brightness is of particular importance, and the yellowness, pollution and other defects interfere with normal operation. How to polish the glass headlights? About the same way as the front. With the only difference, that if desired, the headlight itself can be removed in order not to think about the protection of the body. For best effect, the initial sanding is recommended and then the polishing compound. Some very economical car enthusiasts use toothpaste instead of a special powder , and they say they are happy with the result. The choice is yours.
