TomoHawk Posted June 7, 2005 Author Share #3 Posted June 7, 2005 Sorry guy, that thread doesn't discuss polishing the glass. It's mostly about polishing the plastic light lenses. I looked at that one earlier.thx Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/16182-windscreen-scratch-removal-with-brasso/#findComment-126572 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hls30.com Posted June 7, 2005 Share #4 Posted June 7, 2005 Eastwood sells a kit with a pad and mandrell for a drill motor, and powdered compound-it works well.http://www.eastwoodco.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=2010&itemType=PRODUCT&RS=1&keyword=glass+polishing Will Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/16182-windscreen-scratch-removal-with-brasso/#findComment-126574 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomoHawk Posted June 7, 2005 Author Share #5 Posted June 7, 2005 Have you ever tried using that product and polishing by hand? The scratches I've seen are barely noticeable. That's why I was going to try the Brasso polish.thx Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/16182-windscreen-scratch-removal-with-brasso/#findComment-126575 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hls30.com Posted June 7, 2005 Share #6 Posted June 7, 2005 I just used it by hand to remove years of water spots on the quarter windows-see my gallery. It is a slow process-for anything over quarterwindows use the drill motor-unless you have several days-an hour each on the quarter windows!

TomoHawk Posted June 7, 2005 Author Share #7 Posted June 7, 2005 It shouldn't be much of a problem. I've rubbed out the whiole body, sanded 1/2 of it, all the chrome, wheels. One small windscreen with almost-not noticeable scratches shouldn't be a problem.The RIGHT WAY- by hand.I'd still like to know about polishing glass with Brasso.thxAll by hand Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/16182-windscreen-scratch-removal-with-brasso/#findComment-126579 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hls30.com Posted June 7, 2005 Share #8 Posted June 7, 2005 I think I answered what I understood to be your question...yes?What would you still like to know?Will Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/16182-windscreen-scratch-removal-with-brasso/#findComment-126581 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomoHawk Posted June 7, 2005 Author Share #9 Posted June 7, 2005 I was still interested in polishing glass with Brasso.thx Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/16182-windscreen-scratch-removal-with-brasso/#findComment-126630 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZSaint Posted June 8, 2005 Share #10 Posted June 8, 2005 I noticed some scratches in the driver's side glass. I took some Brasso and did a little hand polishing. I cleared up the dull parts quite nicely. I got it down to the one deep scratch and you hardly notice it anymore. I lubed and restored the mechanism so 'no more scratch' on my window!

1 Bravo 6 Posted June 8, 2005 Share #11 Posted June 8, 2005 Tomohawk,Brasso on glass ???????? Hmmm, don't know about that mate. I for one would be surprised if it works.I've had a lot of experience in cleaning BRASS with Brasso. Believe it or not, we used cardboard and Brasso to clean and polish the brass buckles on the web belt. (This was when I was in the Army).Some Brasso was poured onto the cardboard then the brass was placed onto the cardboard and rub like hell. A bit messy but it worked.Maybe the old cardboard trick will work on glass, ...... but I'd be surprised if it did.Let me know huh ???????Rick. :devious: :devious: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/16182-windscreen-scratch-removal-with-brasso/#findComment-126780 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomoHawk Posted June 8, 2005 Author Share #12 Posted June 8, 2005 I have time later today ( or is it yesterday to my mates?) to try the cardboard. Sounds like the cardboard would be a kind of sanding pad.
