[jcrawl]

Any one got any good ideas on what to use to polish glass with mine is just hazed over the local glass shops was 65 a hour 2 hour job they say but all they can do is remove the haze they said. there has to be some way for me to do this on my own for a lot less money?

I've Googled this before. I think it was toothpaste. Google it I found it once. Whatever it was it'd household stuff.

I've seen glass polishing kits before...maybe Eastwood?

How would one of those headlight restoration kits work? I know they're designed for plastic lenses, but it might work.

Thax for the insight guys i think i will google that toothpaste idea, i knew there was a house hold trick i just couldnt remember it.

Eastwood did carry a kit but I haven't used it. I asked the local auto body supply if they had anything with no luck. I would be interested if a household item such as toothpaste or a rubbing compund would work.

White toohtpaste. 4 out of 5 dentists recommend it.

Go to your local auto parts store, get a clay bar, take the clay out and in your hand soften it up and use a small piece with water by rubbing lightly see if it will clear up the glass. chances are it will...

Clay bars come in different grits so pay attention.

Is it a haze or is it pitted from old age?

Google Bon Ami just be careful there are 2 different formulas of Bon Ami out there now I guess. I first saw it on car guys tv then they talked about it at a bmwcca meeting I was at in Iowa. Im getting ready to try it out on the
4Runner.

I have used the eastwood kit, Its silica dust and its orange. I polished the glass on a 63 a few months ago and it made the original glass look new. MAKES A HUGE MESS AND WEAR A RESPIRATOR!

Actually if on a budget and you have a tool that accepts a 1/4" shank you can buy the holder for around $30.00 and for $9.00 the cerium-oxide disc. Nothing needed except water as a lube. Same thing pros use. We sell them. you will have to hold it flat however
