Bill- Welcome to Autopia! I`ve been an enthusiastic supporter of GG for ages; when I first ordered from you Richard was answering the phone himself in the family kitchen.

Welcome!

Any plans to make the glass sealant, which I really like, easier to buff off?

Thanks!

We`ve had that feedback only a handful of times and, at least in those cases, it seemed to be a result of what was on the glass to begin with. It was either not completely clean or polished or there were mineral deposits, previous products, etc. left on the glass. Based off that, I`d initially say make sure the glass is completely stripped bare (you can use Glass Cleaning Clay then polish) then let it completely dry.

On top of that, I`ll let you in a little secret: we have special version of our new PFM Towel made specifically for glass that is absolutely amazing for buffing off. If you`re still having trouble, knowing your process would help too. We could try to replicate it in R&D and see what`s going on. Hopefully that helps!

Thanks for the feed back.

I polish the glass with a glass polish,da, and a polish pad. Then do 2 20%IPA wipe downs. I apply a coat of sealant with a microfiber applicator in a cross hatch pattern, wait 10 miss or for a hazed to appear then apply again the same way. I wait 15-20 min to ensure a hazed. Then buff once with a waffle weave towel, then again with a general purpose Mf towel till I see nothing left.

It looks clear in the shade, but once in the sun there are some cloudy spots. Which I end up re-creating with some Griot`s glass cleaner. Which I feel may diminish some of the sealant.

Thanks, welcome to any recommendations.

Ok, that helps a lot. The team I need to run this by is out until Tuesday. I`ll go over this with them then if that works.
