#1 Glass Polishing

Post by TonyChile » Sun Oct 25, 2015 5:07 pm

Hi everyone.

The Door glass on my series 1 2+2 has some scratches in it. I am keen to get the scrtaches polished out rather than replacing the glass.

Any recommendations on a service or kit to do this?

Thanks
Thanks Tony

You can buy a scratch removal kit which attaches to an electric drill and uses a powder you mix with water as an abrasive. e.g.

Once you have the scratches out (if that works out) try to get a hold of Radora Brillant to clean your other glass. I use this to polish off glass every once in while. The surface turns out clear and shiny. (No affiliation) It won't take out the scrathes though. Got it through e... germany. Great stuff for getting glass really clean.

Thanks for the advice.

I came across Glassweld on a google search so it is good to get some positive feedback.

I want to retain the original glass if possible..

Thanks
Thanks Tony
