I had the same issue when my brother visited and cooked something on my cooktop. Most of what people think are scratches is really burned food residue, debris from the pan bottom or minerals from water or liquid spillover that burned off of the top. That is Ceran glass and pretty strong and hard although it is possible to scratch it. If it is truly a scratch nothing is going to take that out. I generally use Comet or some other cleanser and a damp blue scotch brite sponge pad and then go over it with original Windex. In extreme cases you can use fume free oven cleaner. Most metal polish has ammonia in it (plus mild abrasives) which is itself a cleaner that will break down burned grease and baked food remnants.
When you said metal polish, I instantly reach for the bar keeper friend, and it worked perfectly! All I did was scrub it with my Scrub Daddy, and use Bar Keepers Friend. I put a little elbow grease for about a minute, and wiped it with the paper towel. Voila!
At first I was having trouble with this method working but when I switched to a stronger drill, this method works! My stove top was in worse condition so it took some time. Thanks for the video!
you prolly dont give a damn but does anybody know a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot the account password. I would love any assistance you can give me.
@Hamza Paxton thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Did you first use a razor blade to scrape off the baked on stuff and then use a ceramic stovetop polish? The stovetop polish works similar to metal polish. You also may want to use different pots and pans that do not scratch the surface. Aluminum and cast iron pans can make scratches.
Always make sure to wipe off stuff thoroughly that's not intended for this purpose as it can cause harmful fumes when heated and you can inhale as well as it can get into the food
It is the same as using a machine polisher to correct scratched paint on a car for example. You would be best advised to use a softer pad as that was actually a cutting pad that could leave marring. The Metal polish is a cutting agent for polish so quite abrasive. Using a softer pad with less abrasive polish would give you a better finish and remove finer scratches. The required pads would be available from most car detailing websites. Good demo though.
@@christinawarrington3192 After reading his response and then your response to him (Gareth), I'm' going to try "Bar Keepers Friend" - I used to auto-detail cars, like he mentions, so that's what he means. But NOT the "Soft Scrub" product, but Bar Keepers Friend. Your comment is 2 months old, let me know if you figured anything out these last weeks. :)
Unfortunately this does not work. It looks to be baked on food and not scratches. I followed what she did step by step exactly, with the same product and it does not completely erase your scratches. 😮
@@cliveperrett730 there are no scratches to fill in these are not scratches are metal remains from the pots.. how on earth you can scratch a ceramic surface ? Using a katana samurai sword to cook ?? The polish removed the metallic remains that looked like scratches and were literally at the surface
I hate my glass top stove so much. Someone needs to make them hardier or stop making them. (I think the newer ones are worse? The older ones seem to last much longer. My mom has had one for years and I don't notice scratches. Mine makes me crazy cuz I have to treat it so carefully. Its the hardest working part of the kitchen and I have ti treat it with kid gloves??m 🙄🤦♀️😣

Pro tip from the automotive industry,
Mist your buff pad with water lightly before you use it
I will definitely use your method. Thank you!
This is the best video I've seen so far

@Hamza Paxton It worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account !
@Raphael Kasen glad I could help xD
amazing, thankyou !

Thank you for the video. From where did you buy the polish and buffer
Nice job I just ordered some for a scratch on my cooktop
How did it go
Always make sure to wipe off stuff thoroughly that's not intended for this purpose as it can cause harmful fumes when heated and you can inhale as well as it can get into the food
Mmm that's a good idea! I have some
Maas polishing cream
I should try that on my stove top! Looks great
Thank you
I was told you should not use paper towels on glass cook tops. They are wood based and can scratch. This looks great tho!
Will it be harmful to health once you heat up the stove which may produce poisonous air inside the kitchen?
Really good question! Who wants to breathe in heated polish? I am really scared to try this. Help anyone?

So you mention a less abrasive polish, I have finer scratches. What polish would you recommend please? Thanks very much.

Soap filled wire wool pads work for me.
Unfortunately what you cleaned off was baked-on crud, not scratches. It is not possible to remove actual scratches from a glass cooktop.
It is Andy. But you need to use abrasive discs first, then cerium oxide.
Spot on Andy all this polish is just filling in the scratches. They don’t show you the scratches reappearing when the hob is turned on!
@@cliveperrett730 there are no scratches to fill in these are not scratches are metal remains from the pots.. how on earth you can scratch a ceramic surface ? Using a katana samurai sword to cook ?? The polish removed the metallic remains that looked like scratches and were literally at the surface
You are deluded if you think a ceramic top is unscratchable. It highlights the video for the rubbish that it is
@@cliveperrett730 its not unscramble but it’s very hard to scratch it the marks you see in this video are not scratches..
hey! question: how does some scratches ruin an entire cooktop?
They can get bigger and mess up the cook top
They are not scratches but a baked on build up of aluminium and other muck.
i did it by hand using the same cleaner but it took some time and elbow grease
Did you use a microfiber towel to buff it in? I don't have or want to buy a drill.
@@valerieevans2036 a soft wet sponge. 3m glasstop pad
Those weren't scratches, just residue. You would have had the same results using a razor blade scraper and Weimans cleaner.

Can it fix cracks?
No.
It's not recommended to sit on the polisher.

Hello, swirl marks

Wow you really don’t know how to use a buffing pad
No
