The condition of automotive glass is affected by temperature changes, precipitation, impurities contained in water, and so on. During operation, the appearance of scratches, cracks, turbidity on the surface cannot be avoided. The modern chemical industry brings to the automotive market a wide range of products that help to solve these problems. Thanks to the variety and availability of funds, shiny, well-maintained cars are increasingly found on the streets. To get such a result in updating a car, it is important for the owner to choose the right glass polish.
Useful qualities of polishes
Properly selected and used according to the instructions, car glass polish will eliminate cracks and scratches, and add shine. Proper use of the product is the key to maintaining the effect for a long time. With a windshield polish, you can put it in order and provide the driver with a clear clear view and traffic safety for a long time.
Polished car windows do not need frequent washing, which means that sponges and rags will leave fewer marks in the form of scratches and scuffs. Auto glass polishes provide protection from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation, aggressive substances (acid rain, bird droppings, car wash liquid shampoo). The protective film neutralizes the negative impact on the condition of the glass from pebbles, dust and sand flying during movement, the movements of old wipers.
With the right choice, application and observance of the terms of use, the polishing agent will show all its useful features. In this case, the polish can become a kind of insurance for car windows.
Types of polishes
Polishing agents differ in a number of ways. First of all, there are polishes based on Teflon and wax. Which ones are better? Teflon ones last much longer, they are not washed off the glass surface as quickly as wax ones.
The application method also plays an important role. There is a protective polishing of the car and with the help of abrasive products. The first without pre-treatment immediately covers the glass, protecting it from the appearance of new scratches. The second involves preliminary grinding of the surface and subsequent polishing. This method of applying the polishing composition gives a more durable result and protection from scratches. Thus, it is appropriate to apply polish for car windshields.
The means and other methods of application differ. For example, polish can be applied manually or machined (using a grinder, drill, in rare cases a grinder).
Among the most popular among motorists are the compositions of such brands:
- Turtle Wax;
- sonax;
- Doctor Wax.
Special and universal products, such as windshield polishes, allow you to care for your car daily or occasionally without leaving a trace of scratches. Turtle Wax makes it easy to keep your car in perfect condition.
Doctor Wax products perfectly polish car windows, eliminating microscopic scratches, cracks and micro-marks. Auto glass polishes of this brand, as well as Turtle, carefully remove the film with traces of dust, dirt, old compounds, insects and other things.
Powerful cleanersDoctor Wax with the finest abrasives in one application, they remove a layer of dirt, polish the surface, providing impeccable transparency to the glasses.
Sonax brand products give a professional result: removing small scratches, faded eroded spots. Polishing is carried out chemically and mechanically at the same time. As with Doctor Wax products, there are those in the Sonax product range that contain abrasives.
Glass polishing
Car windows are polished not only from the outside, but also from the inside. The work is carried out by specialists in a car repair shop or by car owners on their own. Glass can be polished manually or with a tool. Having chosen the right product, for example, Turtle Wax polish, they begin to prepare the car and the workplace. Wash glass thoroughly before polishing. Ideally, if the treatment products are of the same brand, for example, the Turtle Wax mentioned above.
If the work is done manually, then the composition is applied to a napkin and rubbed in a circular motion on the glass. When using a tool, Turtle polish is rubbed with polishing wheels at low machine speeds.
When working with a grinder or drill, do not press them hard against the glass to avoid damaging it.
It is recommended to work on small areas, gradually increasing the surface area to be treated. Moisten Turtle or other product with a spray bottle constantly to keep it from drying out. At the end of the polishing process, it is necessary to carefully wipe the glass, check for defects and, if necessary, repeat the procedure.
Currently, the market is filled with all kinds of auto chemicals that allow you to do it yourself. No exception and means for eliminating scratches and polishing the windshield. How not to make a mistake when choosing from all this variety? How to find exactly the remedy that best solves your problems? Let's try to figure it out in order.
Why is it necessary to polish the windshield?
The reasons leading to the need to polish the windshield are as follows:
- "Glass aging";
- wipers;
- Inaccurate washing of glasses or cleaning them from ice;
- Crushed stone and gravel from under the wheels of cars driving ahead.
Glass aging does not happen by itself, if a car sits in a hangar for 20 years, its glass will not become more cloudy than when it leaves the factory assembly line. Aging is conventionally called the imperceptible process of exposure to a windshield of fine abrasive in the form of dust and sand. The windshield acts as a shield from the wind, it saves passengers and the driver from a mass of dust particles, grains of sand, pebbles and insects. This process is similar to sandblasting, it is not surprising that over time the optical quality of auto glass deteriorates. Any objects can leave traces behind them, the longer we operate the car, the more damage occurs on the windshield.
They exist for prompt cleaning of glass from water, snow and dirt, on the other hand, during operation they cause microscopic scratches. Windshield washer fluid should be used to reduce friction damage.
The motorist himself can often scratch the glass, cleaning it from snow, ice and dirt. Dust, sand and dirt can cause minor damage to the glass, getting on a rag or brush. At first, it is completely imperceptible, but then there are more scratches, and the glass becomes cloudy.
Crushed stone is notorious among motorists, flying out from under the wheels of a car in front, it can make a noticeable crack in the windshield or, in case of a big failure, break it.
All these reasons lead to the need to polish car windows, and, therefore, to additional costs of time and money.
How to restore the transparency of the windshield
To restore the optical properties of glass, it is necessary to remove all scratches, small and large, as well as chips and cracks, from it. It must be understood that polishes are not able to completely eliminate all damage, these products can only deal with minor micro-scratches.
Tools for grinding and polishing
Very often, motorists confuse grinding products with, and this is not true, since grinding usually precedes polishing, and during it the glass is treated with abrasive materials.
The whole process looks something like this:
- Abrasive treatment (to eliminate the largest scratches);
- Processing with conventional and filling polishes (in order to eliminate haze to the maximum and fill cracks with special substances with optical properties);
- The use of insulating polishes to protect glass.
During the initial processing of glass, GOI paste is sometimes used, first they are treated with coarser types, gradually coming to a paste with fine abrasive, which gives the glass a shine.
Most often, power tools are used to grind and polish scratches, manual processing requires more time and effort. Manually, you can “finish” the windshield all day, and with the help of a grinder, the whole process will take about two hours.
Choosing a polish brand
According to their composition, polishes can be divided into wax and Teflon. Wax polishes are more affordable, very common, but more archaic. Wax covers the surface of the windshield and does not allow dust to adhere to it, repels moisture. Teflon works on the same principle, only unlike wax, its properties are much stronger, any types of dirt do not linger on it. A thin layer of Teflon is absolutely transparent, and most importantly, it is a powerful insulator against abrasive, which leads to a dull glass. Experts believe that the regular use of Teflon polishes can greatly push back the grinding work in time.
Consider the most popular brands of glass polishes:
- Turtle Wax;
- sonax;
- Doctor Wax.
Car care company Turtle Wax specializes in car care products, there are shampoos from this manufacturer, and polishes help keep your car windows in “good shape”. Using the products of this company, you can get rid of small scratches. At the same time, the price of Turtle Wax auto chemicals is low.
Sonax products give good results, remove minor damage and stains. The range of this brand is quite wide, there are polishes containing abrasive substances, so protection occurs simultaneously by chemical and mechanical methods.
Summing up, it must be said - one should not expect a big miracle from polishes, they effectively fight only micro-scratches in the early stages and repel dirt and water well. To get rid of larger scratches, it is necessary to grind the glass, and this is a somewhat more time-consuming and costly process. In turn, proper care of auto glass can extend their service life and have a positive effect on optical properties.
