Glass polishing is used to improve clarity and reduce minor defects such as wiper marks, light haze and micro-scratches. Because glass is a very hard surface, it typically requires dedicated glass polishing products (often cerium oxide-based) and felt pads. Work evenly and avoid overheating to keep the process safe and consistent.

Tips
Use glass-specific polish/powder and felt pads.
Work evenly, avoid staying too long in one spot, and control heat.
Deep scratches may not be safely removable by polishing.
After polishing, consider applying a hydrophobic protection.
