Will not work for sand-pitted glass

Review by Mr. Know-it-All -
I bought a used '96 Audi A4 with 159K miles that had significant windshield sand pitting from extended highway driving in some sandy state somewhere. I used a variable-speed polisher at the recommended 1500rpm on one 4" diameter spot for 30 minutes and I couldn't remove even the smallest sand pits. Since the polishing compound is red, I suspect that the polish that comes with the kit is Iron(III), or ferric oxide, also known as jeweler's rouge, rather than the more commonly used cerium oxide which is white. Cerium oxide cuts quite a bit faster, but it is said that iron(III) oxide will give a superior finish. Anyway, if you have any kind of sand pitting, forget the sanding and polishing and get a new windshield.Quality Price Value -

Ordered on Monday, received Wednesday, polished windshield Thursday. Done!Quality Price Value
Glass looks like new, even glossy like new, had very bad marks in wiper path.
Took a few hours of elbow grease but the results are fantastic.
I tried using a palm DA sander with hook it pad but that didn't work as good as cordless drill.
I found I could put more buffing pressure with the drill, but was harder to steady it.
Very happy with results! -
Excellent product!!

Thanks to others who posted their experiences and recommendations. I bought this to polish out the fine scratches the previous owner of my Mazda 3 left in the windshield from running the wipers with dirt or when they were dry. Before applying this product, there was a pretty severe haze left in the wiper paths. I tried cleaning the windshield, waxing it, using a clay bar, none of these removed the fine scratches. After some elbow grease and using this product the scratches are all but gone. I spent a couple of hours with my cordless drill, lots of water, and tired arms, but at the end, all but the deepest scratches were absolutely gone. I can only faintly see the very deepest ones. It is a night/day difference in my windshield. I am completely impressed with how well this product works. As others have mentioned, it will take some pressure and lots of water. Your arms will probably get pretty tired, but the effort is well worth it. I called a local glass repair shop who said they couldn't get these scratches out...will be calling them to tell them this product works. I think it is a bit overpriced for what you get, but it works. I would have preferred a few more application pads and an extra drill attachment for the money...but this is still way cheaper than a windshield replacement. Thanks Eastwood!!Price Value Quality -
Very Pleased

Review by Mack -
Just bought a '97 Taurus. Must have lived on a dirt road as the driver window and windshield were scratched. Did the driver window first, as the scratches were so bad it was a safety hazard. The results were amazing. The glass looks new. When completed the windshield was nearly perfect with exception of the deepest scratches from tip of the wiper blades. Follow the directions and take your time and you will get great results. Use a sponge to keep the surface wet. One suggestion: make sure to tape off the bottom of the door windows so the compound doesn't run into the doors. The compound will splatter. In closing, I saved hundreds of dollars in glass replacement.Price Value Quality

Disappointed

Review by DKR -
The Diamond Fast Powder "might" work well if you use a palm type buffer-polisher, I don't know yet. But after using a low speed cordless drill and the polishing pad included in the kit, I created numerous circular scratches on my truck windshield. Damn. And I used a spray bottle of water to keep it wet. I will buy and try a palm type buffer-polisher next, and hope that I will be able to remove the original and the newly created scratches. Do not use a drill. It is practically impossible to hold it steady (without wobble), especially leaning-reaching over a windshield.Price Value Quality -
Works very well

Review by old Ford man -
I am working on an 07 F150 that was scratch up from a person using a Scrotch brite pad (lots of small scratches all over). I work on the glass last weekend and I'm very pleased with the results I see do far. A couple more weekends and the glass should be looking like new. It is a slow process and you should plan on taking your time when using this product. Work slowly and keep the glass wet, a spray bottle of water work very well for me. I have 56 Fairlane that I am planning on using this product on when I am finished with the F150.Value Quality Price -

I work in a commercial optical shop, so there was no surprises when I opened the box. Pretty much the same product I use on a daily basis. But, I did not want to spend the time gathering the supplies together, so I just bought a kit. What I was surprised about was how well it worked. Pleased with the outcome on my Mercedes. I knew it would be a messy job, so I prepared for that. The glass I worked on was frosted type fine scratches from probably dirty wipers done by the previous owner. Good results, and I have plenty left over if I need to tackle another project.Value Quality Price -

Review by Bimmerguy -
I have a 2001 BMW 530i that I purchased with water spots on the windows, assuming they would clean off. They wouldn't. The only thing that would remove it was very laborious rubbing with steel wool. A detailer told me it was hard water spotting, but it was so bad and ammonia would not cut it. The windows didn't feel "slippery" and felt kind of rough. I was considering replacing all the glass.Value Quality Price
I tried the polishing kit last night with a standard rotary buffer set on low speed. It did an amazing job. I buffed the windows clean in under a couple hours including the sunroof. I have to go back to touch up a few spots. For removal of hard water spots that seem permanent I highly recommend this product!!! -
Beyond expectation!

Review by Ford farm -
I had resigned myself to replacing the glass in my 40 year old pickup. The windows were badly stained by years of hard water, had some sand pitting, and a few scratches here and there. I came across this kit and, given the cost of replacement windows, I thought "Why not try?" It took some time and effort but it was well worth it. I highly recommend this kit! It saved me hundreds.Value Quality Price
