How to Deal with Scratches on Glass?
2 Answers
Clean the entire glass surface, and you can mark the back of the glass that needs repair. First, use No. 1 abrasive disc for coarse grinding. Attach the No. 1 abrasive disc to the backing pad, adjust the variable-speed angle grinder to gear 2, and begin grinding. Ensure white glass powder is produced, confirming that the No. 2 fine grinding marks have completely replaced the rough No. 1 grinding marks, indicating the fine grinding is complete. Remove the abrasive disc and start polishing. The speed of the variable-speed angle grinder can be slightly increased. While polishing, use a spray bottle to apply water until the surface is as shiny as new.
The other day I noticed a scratch on my car window and immediately looked up how to fix it myself. For minor scratches, you can handle it yourself: first, clean the glass surface to ensure it's free of dust. Then, buy a bottle of glass repair solution, the kind specifically for polishing. Spray it on as instructed and rub repeatedly with a clean cloth for a few minutes—the scratch will gradually fade or even disappear. Deep scratches require more caution as they can affect visibility, especially when driving at night. Wear gloves during the process to protect your skin from chemical irritation. After finishing, apply an anti-UV coating to extend the glass's lifespan. The whole process takes some time but saves money. If the results aren't satisfactory, it's best to seek professional help. Remember, regularly checking your glass condition can prevent more issues—safety always comes first.
