Using PC on Glass

E55 · 01-08-06, 06:25

Background:

- I have a new PC about to arrive.
- I've never used one before.
- I have some nasty water spots on my glass. I've tried Autoglym Glass Polish, Glass Scrub, etc. by hand & they won't budge.

I'm thinking that I would like to try using the PC with some Autoglym (or Sonus Glass & Crhome Polish). But I'm wondering whether this is risky

given that I'm a complete newbie with the PC. In addition, I know that my glass is soft, as I've had some troulbe with scratching previously

Thoughts?

try claying the glass, i've gotten rid of them that way.

On problem glass I will use these with a glass polish.

I've clayed them several times. The spots didn't budge.

AIO by hand?

Try AIO via the PC. I use it with my SFX-2 polishing pad and it works like a charm.

Since it's on glass you might want to try something like CLR with a foam applicator. Works on tile!

Autoglym Glass polish + PC+polishing/cutting pad = no more crap on windshield

Just dont be smoking when you open the bottle of Autoglym glass polish and all will go well

Glass was the first thing I did with my PC. Used Zaino Glass Polish. I looked at it this way-glass is harder than paint. I figured that the glass would be a great practice surface to play with the PC, learn how it moves, how the speeds feel, etc....without the chance of screwing anything up. I can even remember practicing the patterns in the roadfly tutorial on the glass-and it was easy to see the overlaps and how the product spread.

I've often used my PC on glass. To me, it's the fastest and easiest way to get stubborn waterspots and other crap off. AIO on a 4" cutting pad = everything is off the glass.

I have used the Autoglym glass polish on my glass for several years without any problems
