CERIUM OXIDE
Description
For Scratch Removal & Polishing Application.
How to Polish
1. Mix some polish into water to a form a thin slurry (cream-like consistency) - we suggest mixing in a small container so you can easily apply to polishing pad
2. Clean glass thoroughly to remove all traces of dirt and grease
3. Apply polish mixture to the polishing pad
4. Mark the inside of the glass with the crayon to identify the area to be worked
5. Mount pad in the drill and apply to work area.
6. Move pad up and down, left and right in work area.
7. Keep the surface wet to prevent glass getting hot - if sufficient polish has already been applied, then just spray a fine mist of water to keep the area cool.
8. Wipe off residue and inspect repair - keep working until polish is satisfactory
9. Wash and store pad for later use
IMPORTANT: do NOT let the glass get too hot while buffing - it should be warm to touch but not extremely hot. Prevent overheating by spraying with water occasionally and keep the buffing pad moving continuously.
Deep Scratches
If the scratch can be felt with a fingernail, it is probably too deep to remove by polishing alone. You will need to grind out the scratch with progressively finer grit. This is a more specialised job and it may be best to seek the advice of professionals in these cases.
For valuable pieces, please seek professional advice before attempting a DIY repair.
