Polishing the windshield on their own

Safety car is largely dependent on the windshield, so it should be smooth and totally transparent. Some time after the start of operation of the vehicle on the glass and begin to form mikrotsarapiny mikroskoly. If not too much damage transparency and smoothness of glass can be restored with the help of a specially conducted polishing. The owners of cars often have problems associated with surface wear of auto, this is caused in most cases, ordinary sand. Falling between the edge of the working surface of the wiper rubbers and door seals of glass, sand began to work as an abrasive material and promotes the formation of scratches. Assessment of problems with glass and the possibility of their elimination in the home are an important step, because to stop the work begun will be difficult to impossible. Abrasions from windshield wipers are the most simple lesions, especially when you promptly identified attrition. You should know that a windshield can not be removed by polishing the deep scratches and chips from rocks. When removing such damages independently by polishing can ruin the glass lens to get the effect. In this case, the visible image of the windshield can greatly distort the reality. Before you start polishing car windows to wash them well, and seal the areas adjacent to the glass using a conventional construction adhesive tape. Washing can be used detergents such as Mr Muscle to their fullest in any hardware store, the main thing that the glass was clean. You must close the entire car film, because during polishing paste scatters in different directions, and leave open only the windshield. For the convenience of the polishing is necessary to note damage, it can be done using a marker on the reverse side of glass. To carry out polishing needed to buy a special polishing powder based on cerium oxide «MATEQUS», «Ins-polish», polishing felt circle, a drill with variable speed. Is the optimal speed to 1500 rpm using a high speed can damage the glass and get a lens effect. Before starting the work necessary to dilute a small amount of powder with water until a creamy consistency. Securing the mandrel in the drill, attach to the surface of a felt circle. Causing a small amount of cooked pasta on a felt circle, pound it on the glass, without using a drill in a small square of glass. Inserting a drill and circular movements on my own, move it within the polished surface. Do not let it dry cooked polish, for which glass is sprinkled with water, the use of water is also cooling the glass. During polishing do not press excessively on the glass, keep polishing circle should be at a slight angle. The angle between the surface of the mandrel and the glass surface should be about 5 ° -7 °. Spend polishing small areas polished one section, move on to another. Upon completion of work wipe the glass and check whether remains opaque areas on the glass if they were, then continue polishing up their complete elimination. After completing the work, unveil the film and tape construction, thoroughly washes away the glass and remove traces of the marker with the windshield using alcohol solutions. Should take into account that the glass polishing process is quite time consuming. Time to carry out works can be from 2 to 4 hours. If you have never performed such work, it is first necessary to train on broken or beyond repair glasses. With a little time and money, gain the necessary experience to perform such work.
