Polishing car window with his hands
During the operation of the vehicle over time is inevitable damage to the glass. It can be as serious defects such as chipped and Shcherbina of gravel or small abrasions left by brush washer. But even minor damage to impair the transparency of glass, and hence the visibility for the driver of the vehicle, not to mention the loss of aesthetic appearance of the car. Of course, with small rubs on the windshield can be no problem to pass inspection. However, it must be remembered that even such defects can distract the driver, greatly increasing the burden on the vision, which increases fatigue. A tired and as a consequence, distraction on the road does not bode well. At this point, as they say, no comment. You can certainly approach the problem radically and simply replace the worn and scratched glass. But this path will require substantial financial costs to the same troubles on poor-quality replacement windows in the form of the appearance of leaks, stress cracks, and as a consequence of a much more serious trouble from defective repair of glass. If there is a minimum set of tools and a few hours of free time is absolutely not difficult to solve the problem of scuffs on the glass, it would wish. The process of removing small defects from car windows is called polishing. If the wear deep enough, polishing process is preceded by grinding glass. Polishing involves the following complex operations: the preparation of the glass, causing polishing (grinding), pastes or powders directly polishing the final wash. Getting to work, you must remember that in order to avoid the effect of the wave (or lens) with a windshield is not recommended to remove deep scratches (those that are clearly being felt by touch), and Shcherbina of small stones and gravel. Additionally, all chips must first be repaired, since there is a risk from heated glass polishing process to get out of a crack cleavage. At the stage of preparatory work should wash the car and glass. Cleanliness is a guarantee that in the polishing process appears more scratches from dirt, got on the instrument. Then the car is covered with foil, leaving direct access to glasses, due polishing. With the help of a marker location with injuries mark the back of the glass. The fact that otherwise in the course of work under a layer of a polishing tool to see them will be difficult. The next stage - the application of polishing compound. Ready-made pasta or diluted to a creamy consistency powder is applied to the polished surface, usually an area not exceeding one square meter, as well as on a felt polishing wheel (usually use 3M). After that, proceed directly to step polishing. Sanders kept at a slight angle and lead to a working surface steadily, avoiding strong pressure. To polish does not dry out, you need to periodically moisten it with water from the spray. It is important to remember that can not be used for polishing grinders, because they give too great speed. Once all the windows properly polished, the protective film is peeled off, windows are washed thoroughly, and the marks of bullet was removed with alcohol. Thus, only several hours, and enclosing a relatively small efforts can be independently polished glass of the car.
