[mattjk]

Any cutting power in this?

Apperetnyl there is a light cutting action according to this

Very akin to AG Glass Polish, cleans nicely.

I had some AG glass polish and had quite good results, and it smells lovely,
i ve run out now but I plan to get some more which your welcome to try out mate.

 

[mattjk]

Iv got AG GP lol but thankyou anyway, i just wanted something with a little cut really but doesnt look there is anything that really will off the shelf

thanks

 

[Rich]

Aside from the products actually designed for glass defect removal no off the shelf products will actual produce any cut on glass.

Jewellers Rouge or the glass polishing kits like www.frost.co.uk sell are you only options but will deform the glass.

 

[mattjk]

I thought so to be honest, but i dont fancy using these jewellers things

Thanks

 

[Rich]

What issues you looking to correct ?

 

[mattjk]

Mainly the hazing caused by the windscreen wipers if you see what i mean like the half circular scratches

Thanks

Ive always found the AG dries up too quickly then when i remove it i get white dust everywhere.

Remember, if your glass is badly damaged it can be replaced for about £50 through your insurance, doesn't affect your NCB or anything. Saves spending money on a product that probably won't achieve much - glass is tough s**t, although did you know glass is actually a liquid? FACT!

Work it is small sections till it is gone, using to much and allowing it to dry is just a waste of product.

Could you explain the scientific reason as to why its a liquid? i have heard this before somewhere aswell to be honest with you but it clearly isnt


Im only TPFT so no windscreen cover unfortunately

I can't explain why it is a liquid - it just is a liquid! Although a very solid one! If you look at older forms of glasses, like the ones used in churches, the glass at the bottom will be marginally thicker than the top, as over time gravity has "pulled" molecules down. Obviously in day to day life this doesn't really matter just an interesting little fact! It does seem strange though that you can "break" a liquid by smashing it.

Agreed my friend however if i stood in the same spot without moving for 80 years i think id be getting a little saggy at the feet to lol

But i see what you mean

How much scientific detail do you want? Basically it shares properties of both liquids and solids, and the correct term for it is 'amorphous solid'. This means that structurally it has properties similar that to of a liquid, but that they react to the impactic of force with elastic deformation (they break).

As for the antique window pane sotry, well thats due to the manufacturing process of glass at the time, not due to being an amorphous solid.

 

[Brand86]

^ Lol well I think that explains it better than I did!

CS - the fountain of knowledge!

lol! Now i can sleep better at nite.

A-level physics is usefull for something :approve:

if I have a scratch on my window and my headlights are pitted with chips, what products should i use?

 

[Rich]

Very unlikely you will succesfully remove the scratch without deforming the glass. Headlights are plastic and if heavily pitted chances are they won't polish up perfectly. Any mild polish is worth a try on them though.
