    Re: Polished Glass

    Flex XC3401VRG
    New Lake County 5" Glass Cutting Pad
    Used light pressure and medium speed.
    Yes I did have problems keeping it wet early on.

    Switched to a Lake County white polishing pad and made sure to keep spraying the glass with distilled water so I didn`t get any dry spots. Seems to have corrected the crescent scratches. Took a while. Started with medium speed to spread and then went to highest with light to moderate pressure.

    Your problem is likely just the Lake Country glass pads. I`m just going to say this (I know LC is a sponsor), but I call `em like I see `em - those pads are horrible and have jacked up more glass than they`ve helped.

    Get the CarPro pads. Use with CerriGlass. They will fix the defects instilled by the LC pads....Ask me how I know....

    griot`s glass pads are pretty decent too. glass is a very hard surface to correct, so don`t be afraid to use heavy pressure and higher speeds, but keep the pad moving. cerium oxide based polishes are a must.

    Anyone know if Griot`s glass polishes are cerium oxide based?

    That turned out really good. I need to get some Rayon pads and try this out on my Tahoe windows. Its a retired Border Patrol truck, and was in terrible shape when I got it. I`ve had the truck for 4 years and have never found anything that will even touch the scratches in the glass. Ceriglass has a permanent spot in my arsenal, but I`ve yet to purchase the Rayon pads to go along with it. Guess I need to give them a shot and see what kind of correction I can get out of it.

    I contacted them and no, it is not cerium oxide based. CarPro Ceriglass Glass Polish is the only way to go. glass is so hard that regular polishes will not cut and polish it properly.

    Only use the CarPro Glass pads. Lake Country Glass Pads are horrible, and I believe the Griot ones have the same issues.
