Can scratched car glass be polished?<\/h2>\n

All laminated glass on a car can be polished, but polishing tempered glass is complicated, time consuming and generally not done because of the high risk of breakage.<\/p>\n

The feasibility of polishing depends mainly on the extent of the damage. Especially with curved glass, each case is unique and all the pros and cons must be considered!<\/p>\n

What are the options for polishing car glass?<\/h2>\n

In general, there are two ways<\/strong> \u2013 do it yourself if you have special tools or take the car to a service provider with the latest technology and corresponding glass repair systems.<\/p>\n

Usually, a polishing machine is used. The process involves polishing discs, felt, water spray and pastes or chemical polishing agents.<\/p>\n

Car glass scratch removal, process:<\/h2>\n

\u2022 Glass preparation, thorough cleaning, washing.
\n\u2022 The glass is polished until it is hot. At the end of the process, the scratches are gone.
\n\u2022 The glass, smooth but dull, is then polished to a shine, preferably using a vertical and horizontal motion, at an angle of up to 5 degrees.
\n\u2022 Residue is removed and the glass dried with a cloth.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> Polishing one minor scratch up to 15 cm in length can take 15-30 minutes and the price and result depend on the nature, size and especially the depth of the scratch. Prices vary, but generally the price of quality service starts from 50 euros.<\/p>\n

What are the disadvantages of car windscreen polishing?<\/h2>\n

\u2022 The windscreen becomes “rippled” \u2013 distortions occur<\/strong> as the glass surface becomes uneven. This can be very distracting for the driver and is not in the interests of road safety.
\n\u2022 Distortions and ripples change the light spectrum<\/strong> which interferes with driving \u2013 especially in sunny weather!
\n\u2022 In the case of deep scratches and nicks, the glass is in danger of becoming a “magnifying glass”<\/strong> as a result of the polishing.
\n\u2022 Relatively high time expenditure<\/strong>.
\n\u2022 The end result may not be acceptable<\/strong>.
\n\u2022 All in all, high-quality polishing can cost more<\/strong> than replacing the glass.
\n\u2022 In the case of an intact dull windscreen, it is definitely cheaper to replace the entire glass<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your safety<\/h2>\n

After repairing the chip or replacing the windscreen, we always recommend new windscreen wipers<\/strong>! If the glass was damaged, the rubber part of the wipers has also sustained micro-damage<\/strong>, which may not be immediately visible to the eye (it may damage the new windscreen immediately). If desired, we can install new wipers immediately after the repair or glass replacement free of charge!<\/p>\n
