Operation Clear View

[zckid]

Hi folks

Been inactive for long,

Anyway, presenting to you 2 cases in one:

1. Persisting with wiper blades that are long past their prime

2. Using amateur techniques to remedy damage caused by bad wiper blades that have actually worsened the driver`s line of vision

Torn wiper blades or wipers missing the rubber blade edge can often leave deep scratches along with streaks on your windshield. These scratches will be just as distracting as streaks. They will reflect sunlight and headlight beams from oncoming traffic. Scratches will definitely obstruct vision, making driving more dangerous. However, it is important to remember that damage can occur any time a repair is not done correctly, making vision still more obstructed.

Letting the pics speak:


Front glass: water spotting and swirls




water spots removal gone from bad to worse

The result of using inappropriate products, tools and techniques to remove wiper scratches









From inside.....clarity or a lack of?





closer





Worse still, during a rainy day or night when facing headlight beams from oncoming vehicles

Tools & Products

- local APC & towels
- Sonax clay
- Sonax felt pad
- Sonax glass polish
- Makita rotary
- A spray bottle with water
- Menzerna Powerlock sealant and applicator

Process

- wash and clay the glass
- tape all rubber trims and cover adjacent areas
- mist the felt pad with water
- apply the polish to a small section of the glass
- proceed slowly to prevent heat build-up. every now and then, spray water on the surface being polished
- check your work at all times, it may require quite a few hits
- be patient and check the temp regularly
- clean and apply a sealant, let cure and wipe

hope it helps and with this, i complete my 200th post.

cheers
