2 Answers
Methods for repairing scratches on glass: 1. Small scratches can be removed by polishing; 2. Glass scratch repair agents can be used, where the gel is applied along the crack to fill it, but this is only suitable for minor scratches; 3. For severe scratches, it is recommended to visit a professional auto beauty shop or 4S store for repair; 4. For deep scratches, it is advisable to find a reliable and reputable professional repair shop; 5. Apply a small amount of polishing compound to the glass, spray water from a spray bottle, and begin polishing. During the polishing process, continuous water flow is necessary to prevent the glass from overheating, and the repair area should not become too hot to touch. When using an adjustable-speed angle grinder for polishing, ensure the movement follows a back-and-forth zigzag or circular path, avoiding any pauses at a single point to prevent severe deformation.
I enjoy fixing minor car issues myself, like small scratches on the windshield. The method I usually use is to buy a car glass repair kit, which includes specialized polishing paste and application tools. First, clean the glass with a clean cloth to ensure there's no dust; then apply the polishing paste and gently rub the scratched area in a circular motion using the provided tool or cloth, being careful not to press too hard. After polishing for a few minutes, wipe it clean with a damp cloth. If the scratch is still visible, reapply and repeat the process. This method works well for shallow scratches, but deeper ones may require professional help. The whole process takes about ten minutes and can restore clarity while preventing the scratch from expanding and affecting visibility. When driving, avoid wiping the glass with dirty cloths to minimize scratches. If the scratch is in the driver's direct line of sight, repairing it early is crucial to prevent accidents.
