Just saved my ass big time, I took a metal snow shovel to the windshield and scratched it to hell, the thing is its not my car!!! Worked beautifully. Looks better than before I tore it to hell. I just used a microfiber cloth by hand and it worked great
So glad we could help Justin!! Yikes, no more metal shovels man! :) We appreciate the view and sharing your fantastic results, have a great week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC

Wow, yesterday I did the same thing with snow shovel, made some nasty scratches on driver side.
bigblue well I have always loved to find trick ways to do things and I want to share those with everyone just to be as helpful as i can. You will love the results and thank you for being here !!! :)
This really works. My driver's side window was trashed with scratches. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years when I bought the truck. A major glass repair shop quoted me $300 to replace the glass and this was not covered by my comprehensive insurance. I bought the buffer, made the high speed air nozzle, used all of the cleaning and lubricating products you recommend and buffed the glass with your special formula. The savings on that one window more than paid for everything. And now the glass is perfect. Thank you so much.
I can tell you this were the only ones with this mixture other people of done it with their products but nobody has ever use these two mixed together guaranteed
lol, dude, he just told you he’s done it (well, 5 years ago). You have absolutely no way of “guaranteeing” that nobody has used the same mixture and you said it yourself, you can use any polish compound and the ticket is only the pumice from the hand cleaner.. so any hand cleaner mix would be no different. 😂 silly to HAVE to take credit for this.
I had 3 long horizontal scratches in my windshield. Watched this yesterday, went out and bought Orange pumice, mixed it with rubbing compound and followed your instructions. . . Perfect! I never thought I could get those scratches out, but this technique did the job beautifully. Thank you so much!!
Sweet Project Cars will this same technique work on automobile side windows on the small surface scratches you get from the movement of the windows up and down over the years? Thanks!
KWG we have had great success with it on all glass, its worth a try by the sounds of how your glass looks now...give it a shot and see if you like the results my freind :)
@@SweetProjectCars thank you for sharing this might work on my windshield I have a few minor scratches from the wipers being left on before car was shut off next day hit the remote start and wipers are moving on a dry windshield when getting in car THANKS AGAIN FOR SHARING from Chicago!
I used fast orange on its own for years. Did an ok job, but not overly spectacular. Never thought to try and mix it with a compound. Works amazingly well. Thanks alot for sharing this
@@patrickgoldberg7915 if you wash your car you will get a clean car.;-) couldn't help it being a smart-ass, but I think I know what you're asking... if you're asking me if the scratch will reappear, the answer is no. You're not filling in the scratch. What you're actually doing is not removing the scratch, but removing some of the glass round the scratch to where it's level with the scratch... just like when you remove scratches from paint, you're not actually removing the scratches from the paint, you're just leveling the paint the same height as the depth of the scratch. This is why it takes so long to do, glass really really hard and it takes a while to polish it down to the depth of the scratch... and it is also why he uses soap with pumice along with rubbing Compound to make a homemade rubbing compound that is aggressive enough to remove glass
Mate, you saved me a ton of money! Did this on my Landcruiser on the weekend that had spent the last 10 years offroad in the Australian Outback. Both side-windows were finely scratched and dull all over from the fine red sand out there. You could hardly see through them against the sun ... and we have a lot of sun here. Did the polish with the exact same materials and pad and they look like new ... just $500 cheaper ;) Big thanks over to the other side of the planet !
Good Deal Glad to hear that my friend, it does works if done like you did and that was using what we suggested to use...good job!!! we do know it takes the rpms of 2500 to 3000 with a single action buffer...a DA wont work on most scratches.
I have been watching a bunch of videos on repairing glass scratches. Many required me to buy new expensive products (felt pad, sanding pads, specific branded glass compounds). Now I am able to go out and buy pumice cleaner and get the job done with the polishing equipment I already own. Fantastic.
SWEET PROJECT CARS here...for this method to work you need to use the same exact tools as we are using, this goes for most all our videos, they are method and tool specific.. ..you will need a (Single Action Buffer) that turns at a minimum of 3000 RPMs and you need the same exact pads we use. This works great for most all scratches but if yours are deeper than a human hair you will be buffing for some time and we mean hours. Hope this helps
excellent...I will try, and thanks for including the ratio, so many advice videos say do this and mix these products together. but they don't give amounts.
Thank you .. ur a life saver... I just replaced my front window on my RSX ..now my windshield on my 06 Nissan Armada and my 2011 internatonal truck is starting to get bad from using my Windshield wipers and having coral dust on top.. thank u
I used this on my thick glass table top and it worked like a charm!!!! Thank you so much, now we wont have to replace that spendy glass anymore! Thanks again it saved my family a lot of money! 💸💵💸🙏🏻👍🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for your formula. I have reversed glass scratches from 30 years ago in the windshield of my 1965 Chrysler 300. When a teenager I used a lysol can to scratch off ice. Lesson learned the hard way.
I definitely am so to give this a try on my 2014 Ford Fusion. It has scratches from a previous owner whose wipers obviously went bad. When I removed the old wipers, there was literally no rubber left on them.
Now that was absolutely brilliant magical mixture that did the trick on my Jeep. Now, I am going to try this now on my 1980 Corvette glass that is in desperate need of some TLC.
Holy crap this is brilliant. I never in a million years would have guessed what you were using here. I’m going to try this myself. I literally looked up videos on how to remove scratches from car windshields because I have tons of little scratches in mine from where the dust would catch under the windshield wiper blades and rub over the glass year after year

have to give it a go ,,, when you said easy to get concoction , i never thought it would be that easy to get most folk say easy to get and include diphtheria germs , bat wing and unicorn scrotum ,,, well done guys
Let me thank you ! Trying the secret sauce with just the #0000 steel wool, scrub the windshield for a while and cleaned it off and got most of water spots and some scratches off, still blows my mind! I have tried EVERYTHING and this simple sauce worked! I can't wait till I try it with the rotary and foam pad.
Renting and I’ve scratched the ceramic glass cooktop badly. I mean REAL scratches not just from dried cooking stuff! I’ve tried buffing, cream metal shine cleaner, toothpaste, etc. nothing works! I live in Oz and will definitely try this. Hope it works! Thank you for sharing this!
Ohhh man I've been looking for a solution for deep scratches in my windshield forever! I have an old Ford Torino with deep scratches and I'm going to do this ASAP!!!!! Thank you sweet project cars!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and helping people out doing things the ways that do work and for cheap!! You have no idea how much respect I have for you and others like you who share their knowledge and hard earned experience. I'm truly grateful, man. Wish you and yours a very happy new year.
Worked perfectly to remove light scratches in windshield. Auto glass company falsely said nothing would work because they wanted to sell a replacement windshield. I saved a ton.
I was working my head in how to get rid of those nasty scratches... my neighbour jet washed his driveway and all the sand ended... yes .. on my car, including window seals. I've managed to remove most of the sand but I can still hear it griding there. I might have to dismantle the whole door assembly to get that stuff out.... o well, at least got rid of the scratches on the passenger side. Thanks a lot mate you're a star and a true gentleman. Not many people share their magic 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know this is an older video but... it works. I had tried *everything* to get our shower cabin glass clean. Literally everything. Special glass pads. Special glass polish. Rotary, DA... to no avail. 3 minutes fooling around with this concoction (I'm assuming you add the compound for lubrification?) and I got a 20x20cm test spot crystal clear. Amazing, so thank you!
Thanks for the awesome tip. My windshield doesn't have scratches, but is somewhat foggy when the light hits it a certain way. It is either pitted or has had some kind of overspray on it. I think your method is the ticket to restoring my windshield. Thank you for the trade secret!!! You earned my subscription!!!
Now i know very easy and simple things to do how to get the scratches. Because my van is a lots of scratches i was worried now finally found the solution.. thanks a lot
I got swirl marks and light scratches on a residential window using bio clean. Inwas removing water spots. Im going ro try you method because it makes sense and others agree. Thank you sir and GOD bless you.

Top notch...you guys are the best!!!!! Very helpful, will definitely give this a try. Hey, don't forget to show us how to make the copper bendy tube thing a ma jig for the air hose trigger. I have mine bored out and ready to go...
Gonna have try it. As a senior glass tech i’m always looking for cool ways to buff scratches on car glass. Usually it’s oxide powder and avoiding distortion from heat is the main culprit. 1mm deep is fairly deep scratches. Well look into it. keep up the vids, interesting. 👍
Nice work! Glad we could help darkgarlam! Thank you for watching and sharing your fabulous results, have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! I TRIED IT AND IT WORKED! :D I am so relieved I don't have to buy a new driver side window now. Sincerely thank you. I'm ecstatic right now.
@@saifulimpul6042 I don't recall how many swirls I did by hand, but I was at it for about 5-10 mins by the time I had saw the change. The scratchy haze started to fade and kept going for another 10 minutes and it was finally clear. It was remarkable. Have at it and do it yourself.
Awesome work my friend!!! So glad we could help! Thank you for watching and sharing your stupendous results, we really appreciate it, hope you have a sweeeeet weekend Joshua! mad Mike & team
For Aussie viewers, the pumice liquid soap brand shown here is not available in local stores BUT you can buy "Solvol" liquid soap or Solvol bar soap (both use pumice as the main abrasive). I would use a mortar and pestle to grind the soap down and mix it in with the cutting compound. Failing that, you can buy pumice stone which can easily be broken down, first by smashing inside a towel using a mallet and then applying some elbow grease with a mortar and pestle. The other recipe I will share with SPC is that you can buy Cerium Oxide and mix it into cutting compound and it will do the same thing. Cerium Oxide is what the optics makers use to grind lenses and glaziers use to polish rounded edges on glass table tops and the like. SPC...you guys are unbeatably great! :)
No problem. Give the Cerium Oxide a try. You can get it cheaply on Ebay. Just moisten it slightly with a bit of water (reduces friction heat) and then mix it in with a bit of cutting compound...enough to make a slurry. When using the buffing tool just back off every couple of minutes so as not to overheat the glass. I'd love to see you do a video with the result. If I was in the US I'd even send some Cerium Oxide to you gratis but the cost of postage between Australia and the US is often more than the cost of the goods being sent!
I tried this on my 2012 Chevy Cruze window and it did helped me a lot. No more blemishes or scratches visible anymore. I did the same for all glasses and it did really helped me. Thanks for this informative video. It saved me $$$ bucks.
I've tried a few methods from these videos, they all work and save me time... especially the mothers mag cream on the headlights!! I'll keep this in mind if I got to buff a windshield
you can use the turtle wax metal polish for headlights and another great one is the mothers mag and aluminum polish. thanks for the great comments and thanks for being here with us :) Reply
I worked with glass for the best part of 20yrs. We used jewellers rouge if that's how it's spelt. Although this works, you have to be absolutely sure the glass doesn't remain dry as this can cause more scratches to form.
I was driving towards sunset and was absolutely puzzled by the amount of scratches i have on my 13years old car.. (bought it not many months ago). Well good thing i can maybe repair it. Gonna see how it goes :) tnx for this video.
Glad to help Imbe! Follow the video to a T and be sure to use the exact products/tools we use and you will love the results my friend. Thank you for watching and sharing, have a fantastic day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
you can look at you local grocery store for hand soap with pumice in it many mechanices use it. thank you very much for the great comment and we appreciate you being here with us...:)
Gotta give this a try. I scratched up my Mustang window thinking I could scrape frost with an empty coffee cup that was still hot. Oooops. I was able to manually buff them out a bit, but your method will get them all out. Much thanks.
My windshield has thousands of little tiny chips in it, it looks like it was driven through a sandstorm or something. I’m going to give this a try and see if it can at least reduce the glare created by these tiny chips in combination with all the faint surface scratches that seem to never go away no matter how much I clean it. Thanks for the video!
Our pleasure, Kenny! Thank you for watching and sharing, we really appreciate it, have a great week and all the best on your project my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
This is great! I have a wiper scratch that pervious owner thought it a good idea to keep running the wipers after they broke. I don't mind putting in the work so this seems like a far better alternative to a complete windshield replacement
Absolutely it is! Follow the video to a T, and use the exact same products/tools we use and you will love the results my friend. Thank you for watching and sharing, have a great day and all the best on your project. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I have a classic car show next weekend I am entered in and I had a problem with a window and I have both these products thank you!!!! 1970 Beetle w/ stock sunroof...
Great video as always, I say this, I'm always sceptical but most of the things on this channel work. If it just polishes enough to be invisible who cares? It gets the effect and that's what matters. Great job guys, you just saved someone a Glass replacement.
Hey I found your video here and thank you so much! My son borrowed my rig and scratched the windshield, while trying to remove some ice with pants and the zipper caught the glass (Kids always cost you no matter what age). We used your formula consisting of some F1 and the same pumice filled hand cleaner and his real good elbow grease and the formula got the scratches out. Voila it looks new again! Thank you so much for your help!
Great to hear! Thank you so much for sharing, we truly appreciate it :) And you are right about kids, gotta love em ;) LOL Have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Worked perfectly. My dumb ass in a tired rush thought a license plate wouldn’t be too harsh to scrape some ice off of my windshield. Super embarrassing but is a fun story now thanks to you. If you’re watching this video you have to give it a shot. I honestly didn’t think it’d work as I was actually able to catch my fingernail ever so slightly through the scratches. Took about 25 minutes with simply a microfiber towel and you can’t tell at all.
Right on. SO much easier than the way I did it in the old days ' 63 '. I used to polish Petosky Stones by hand using Pumice & Found it was great for Glass also. I may have had to work harder but made good money for a 14 yr. old kid. TYVM for bringing me UP TO DATE with u'r improved method. ALOHA. P.S. 20 bucks for 2-3 hrs. work was good in those days for a windshield.
I work for a reputable auto glass company and I would have to say I'm sceptical. I will give it a try, but all of the glass polishing compounds I've seen will only work to a certain extent. I almost guarantee this will not work on deep scratches. Maybe it will work on glass rubs as I have seen some polish do. But after a point the glass is going to distort in the area you are polishing from the heat of the abrasive. This is a fact! Again I'm very sceptical.
@@Dan27894 we can assure you that if your scratches are not too deep that it works great, give it a try and I think you will be surprised at the results
Sweet Project Cars I just wanna see if even a severe skeptic can have his opinion changed after using it! Also, I will try it either way but I think my windshield may have too many chips on the glass
I got the same rubbing compound and fast orange pumice and mixed in the prescribed ratio 25 to 75 percent. I used a harbor freight polisher and orange 8-inch pad. Have a lot of swirl marks and the scratches are still there. The material seems to soak up into the pad fairly quickly and I have to reload the material. I was hopefully this would work and will update as I give it another try tomorrow.
Gerald you have to use a lot of the mixture until the pad is saturated especially if you are using a dry brand new pad....and it takes alot of high speed polishing as seen in the video it is not a quick process thats for sure we thank you very much for the quality comment it is very helpful for the whole channel :)
@@SweetProjectCars I started on it last night. I don’t have the actual buffer you used, but I have a lighter duty version. I still have a long way to go but I’ll get there.👊
Haaasa. It worked. I had a polish compound but it was too cold to get the orbital out. Scratched the window pretty bad while scraping ice. I can confirm it works with polish. 👍👍👍👍 Thanks dude. I was about to call breakers to buy a new back pasager window, that's how bad it was. 🤣
I tried this method today , i used gojo , and i a rubbing compound called lazer that apparently is german made... I mixed as you said 75% gojo and 25% rubbing compound , i couldnt find the same 3m pad so i used a hard pad that i was able to find( that is flat and doesnt have the same surface as yours ) , after more than an hour of hard work , i saw that the scratches were 50 fadded from 1/6 of the surface of the entire windshield .keep in mind that my windshield is all scatched up becauae of sand that i was on it and using the whippers ,( stupid i know). Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
the pad we use is a very important factor in this process, so yes that maybe the problem...but i would say just keep doing it it will get better if thats the only pad you have. :)
Also a thinner pad is generally going to be more aggressive. If you think about it it's kind of like the sidewall of a tire, smaller sidewall is going to be harsher and a taller is going to be softer. As the pad's moving across the surface the thinner pad is not going to flex as much, it will be cutting more. I've made a few mistakes and that's how I know.
Well you can give it a try it sounds like your windshield is not doing very well it will either work or you’ll end up replacing the glass it all depends on how bad it’s pitted or scratched thanks for asking
That's great...been trying all options to remove scratches. Now I Know the trick. Will be knocking this project out once and for all this weekend. Will take before and after pics to share.
I just got a chance to do this...you aren't joking with elbow grease. My palms are blistering after 30+ min if buffing the glass. While some scratches did come out I still see some. This is going to be a labor of love. I think after three applications the windshield will be smooth as....well you know what I mean. Sorry no pics, lighting is not allowing then to show up.
Found a buffer at a return store for $8 I'm going out Tonight to grab some fast orange. I really hope this works. My windshield is damaged from where my son's mother turned on the wiper after a blade fell off during the trip. She couldn't understand why the water was not being removed from the windshield. Thank God for Rainex, I'm convinced that is the only reason they made it back safely. I'll keep you posted with the results.
Hi, went to look for the white pad you mention but think you misspoke. You say 3M 05732 but think you meant 05723. The 05732 is a red pad. Just pointing that out in case someone else is trying to find the right pad. Great video as always!
Thanks for the video. I had similar scratches on my windshield as you did in your video. My truck is 10 years old and I believe has the original windshield. I do not have a buffer so I used very fine steel wool and a "lot" of elbow grease. Should have bought a buffer. The windshield looks great now.
Glad it helped, we are very proud of you! That you had the tenacity to follow through with the process and ran with it! Great Job Chuck! Have a fantastic evening. mad Mike the hammer SPC
WORKS!!! I only tried it with the fast orange with pumice and it worked worked it in with a drill with the attachments got em at Walmart for like 6.50 window on my car was really hazy and you could see the scratches now al 'll gone thanks!!!
dave houston just a couple pounds of pressure, as it is more of time spent on the scratches that matter, but I can tell you this you most likely will not get them all out by hand ...but I do give you credit for doing it by hand. keep up the great work my friend :)
Sweet Project Cars I don't have a buffer either. I'm thinking of swapping out the sand paper in my hand-sander with a microfiber cloth. What do you think?
@@digitalcurrents If you live anywhere near a Goodwill or Salvation Army thrift store, they occasionally have power tools, including buffers and angle grinders, for sale a very low prices. Then you can get the buffing pads from almost any hardware store.
bigblue one thing i found on youtube is not to look or sound like you are boasting in any way many dont like that so we try to stay off anything personal just to keep the waters calm lol
Aside from the Pumice solution, is it really necessary to use the exact same pads you used? As I am in the middle east, where there is always sand storm and people drive like the ones you hear in the background, the choices are severely limited.
I had a Class C motorhome with a fiberglass body that collected fine 'dirt' as it aged. I used the orange cleaner with pumice very successfully to make it sparkle. It took forever, but worked perfectly. The cleaner rinses nicely with water. A followup with cleaner/wax and Meguiars as a finale left it looking like new.
I’ve used water sandpaper because it’s silicone carbide it will cut just about anything . Take a you think it’s diamond ring if it’s real it will mess the sand paper up if it’s fake it will cut the stone leaving it frosted looking we’re it was sanded. That rubbing compound is good stuff along with the polishing compound I’ve did the water sandpaper trick on the new plastic headlights foggy milky looking then rubbing an after polishing compound. They look like new it last a good bit if you keep wax on them I wax my headlight lens just like my paint . It keeps the elements and uv rays from hurting them so bad ! The hand cleaner with pumic I never would have dreamed but sounds like a real good deal thanks for sharing I’m sure it will come in handy!

Oh no!! LOL you sure did dagator! Thank you for watching and sharing, have a fantastic week and all the best on that windshield my friend. mad Mike
Great video, i like the fact that you are not selfish on showing the mixture and sharing it with us. May GOD bring many blessings your way.
Thank you very much we truly appreciate that
I definitely am so to give this a try on my 2014 Ford Fusion. It has scratches from a previous owner whose wipers obviously went bad. When I removed the old wipers, there was literally no rubber left on them.
update?
yeah, did it work?
Curious as well!
I literally have a 2014 ford fusion that did the same thing
Now that was absolutely brilliant magical mixture that did the trick on my Jeep. Now, I am going to try this now on my 1980 Corvette glass that is in desperate need of some TLC.
Good deal Paul glad we could help you my friend Thanks Mike Sweet project cars
It worked like magic. Thank you sir! It took hours to get it done because I had deep scratches. Drastic improvement.
Holy crap this is brilliant. I never in a million years would have guessed what you were using here. I’m going to try this myself. I literally looked up videos on how to remove scratches from car windshields because I have tons of little scratches in mine from where the dust would catch under the windshield wiper blades and rub over the glass year after year

This guy! Best helpful tutorials ever.
Let me thank you ! Trying the secret sauce with just the #0000 steel wool, scrub the windshield for a while and cleaned it off and got most of water spots and some scratches off, still blows my mind! I have tried EVERYTHING and this simple sauce worked! I can't wait till I try it with the rotary and foam pad.

Yes it works.
I tried this method on my windshield and sure enough it worked !
Thanks Mike
Good deal glad to hear that
Can you see any marks it on window after?
Worked perfectly to remove light scratches in windshield. Auto glass company falsely said nothing would work because they wanted to sell a replacement windshield. I saved a ton.
That is Great to hear Michael! Thanks for watching and for sharing your successful results my friend! Have a fantastic day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I was working my head in how to get rid of those nasty scratches... my neighbour jet washed his driveway and all the sand ended... yes .. on my car, including window seals. I've managed to remove most of the sand but I can still hear it griding there. I might have to dismantle the whole door assembly to get that stuff out.... o well, at least got rid of the scratches on the passenger side. Thanks a lot mate you're a star and a true gentleman. Not many people share their magic 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for posting. Just ordered this setup. Son scratched the window on our two day old Pilot. 🤦♂️
I know this is an older video but... it works. I had tried *everything* to get our shower cabin glass clean. Literally everything. Special glass pads. Special glass polish. Rotary, DA... to no avail. 3 minutes fooling around with this concoction (I'm assuming you add the compound for lubrification?) and I got a 20x20cm test spot crystal clear. Amazing, so thank you!
Thanks for the awesome tip. My windshield doesn't have scratches, but is somewhat foggy when the light hits it a certain way. It is either pitted or has had some kind of overspray on it. I think your method is the ticket to restoring my windshield. Thank you for the trade secret!!! You earned my subscription!!!

Sup peeps happy Sunday
Gonna have try it. As a senior glass tech i’m always looking for cool ways to buff scratches on car glass. Usually it’s oxide powder and avoiding distortion from heat is the main culprit. 1mm deep is fairly deep scratches. Well look into it. keep up the vids, interesting. 👍
Thank you Randy, you will love the results of this method took us years to find what works :)
1mm is deep indeed - I was assuming the "mil" to mean one thousandth of an inch.
Greg Sullivan a couple were this deep and many were not...it does take some serious time and tools to remove any scratch from glass :)
i tried it today and it worked beautifully...thank you soooo much!!!
Wow im impressed this worked I ordered it all and i did the work! All fixed!
Nice work! Glad we could help darkgarlam! Thank you for watching and sharing your fabulous results, have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! I TRIED IT AND IT WORKED! :D I am so relieved I don't have to buy a new driver side window now. Sincerely thank you. I'm ecstatic right now.
Hey man glad if you can share how many times did you buff untill the scratches are gone? Thanks in advance
@@saifulimpul6042 I don't recall how many swirls I did by hand, but I was at it for about 5-10 mins by the time I had saw the change. The scratchy haze started to fade and kept going for another 10 minutes and it was finally clear. It was remarkable. Have at it and do it yourself.
Awesome work my friend!!! So glad we could help! Thank you for watching and sharing your stupendous results, we really appreciate it, hope you have a sweeeeet weekend Joshua! mad Mike & team
You are the man! You got my BMW looking new again, chief! Another valuable piece to add to my growing list of tips! Thanks again, my friend!
don't forget to rub some shaving cream onto the inside to stop your windshield from fogging up.
for real?
Or toothpaste, or just buy some anti fog stuff
For Aussie viewers, the pumice liquid soap brand shown here is not available in local stores BUT you can buy "Solvol" liquid soap or Solvol bar soap (both use pumice as the main abrasive). I would use a mortar and pestle to grind the soap down and mix it in with the cutting compound. Failing that, you can buy pumice stone which can easily be broken down, first by smashing inside a towel using a mallet and then applying some elbow grease with a mortar and pestle.
The other recipe I will share with SPC is that you can buy Cerium Oxide and mix it into cutting compound and it will do the same thing. Cerium Oxide is what the optics makers use to grind lenses and glaziers use to polish rounded edges on glass table tops and the like.
SPC...you guys are unbeatably great! :)
Tripsadelica, YOU ARE THE BEST.............THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR POSITIVE CONTRIBUTIONS :)
No problem. Give the Cerium Oxide a try. You can get it cheaply on Ebay. Just moisten it slightly with a bit of water (reduces friction heat) and then mix it in with a bit of cutting compound...enough to make a slurry. When using the buffing tool just back off every couple of minutes so as not to overheat the glass. I'd love to see you do a video with the result. If I was in the US I'd even send some Cerium Oxide to you gratis but the cost of postage between Australia and the US is often more than the cost of the goods being sent!
thank you so much, we will see if we can make it happen :)
tripsadelica : Thanks for shearing with the world your knowledge.
tripsadelica buy it at any auto zone!!
I tried this on my 2012 Chevy Cruze window and it did helped me a lot. No more blemishes or scratches visible anymore. I did the same for all glasses and it did really helped me. Thanks for this informative video. It saved me $$$ bucks.
Great to hear! Thanks for sharing, we truly appreciate it. Have a fantastic day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Tried this on my 74 MGB. Worked well. Not speedy by any means, but the best solution I've seen so far.
I've tried a few methods from these videos, they all work and save me time... especially the mothers mag cream on the headlights!!
I'll keep this in mind if I got to buff a windshield
thank you very much :)
I tought for headlights use a turtle wax all metal polish...
you can use the turtle wax metal polish for headlights and another great one is the mothers mag and aluminum polish. thanks for the great comments and thanks for being here with us :)

I worked with glass for the best part of 20yrs. We used jewellers rouge if that's how it's spelt. Although this works, you have to be absolutely sure the glass doesn't remain dry as this can cause more scratches to form.
What do you mean remain dry
You mean while you are buffing
Thanks for flipping us off on the thumbnail, still love your videos👍
I was driving towards sunset and was absolutely puzzled by the amount of scratches i have on my 13years old car.. (bought it not many months ago). Well good thing i can maybe repair it. Gonna see how it goes :) tnx for this video.

Hey mate, I am in New Zealand also, Where did you buy Pumice hand cleaner from? I can only seem to locate a big bulk amount from mitre 10

kris thanks for helping out:) thank you very much for the great comment and we appreciate you being here with us...:)
Gotta give this a try. I scratched up my Mustang window thinking I could scrape frost with an empty coffee cup that was still hot. Oooops. I was able to manually buff them out a bit, but your method will get them all out. Much thanks.

All plate glass for store fronts had to be polished during manufacturing in the old days and needless to say the glass was very expensive.
I was thinking tooth paste ! LOL Nice Job
This really works I did it today 👌👍👍👍👍
Thanks you saved me replacing the windshield £300.00 the window looks brand new cant believe this was the only thing that really worked
good deal my friend glad we could help
My windshield has thousands of little tiny chips in it, it looks like it was driven through a sandstorm or something. I’m going to give this a try and see if it can at least reduce the glare created by these tiny chips in combination with all the faint surface scratches that seem to never go away no matter how much I clean it.
Thanks for the video!

That's good stuff right there.. good job of showing out of the box.
I have all ways used wax on my windows. Like the front windshield. When it rains it don't stick to the window. It runs off
great tip ben so do we glad to have you here with us..
Window cleaners use pumice alot to get water stains ect off the glass good tip tho as always..
This is great! I have a wiper scratch that pervious owner thought it a good idea to keep running the wipers after they broke. I don't mind putting in the work so this seems like a far better alternative to a complete windshield replacement

There was no speed limit to that message that flew across my screen. Almost subliminal!
Great video as always, I say this, I'm always sceptical but most of the things on this channel work. If it just polishes enough to be invisible who cares? It gets the effect and that's what matters. Great job guys, you just saved someone a Glass replacement.
Hey I found your video here and thank you so much! My son borrowed my rig and scratched the windshield, while trying to remove some ice with pants and the zipper caught the glass (Kids always cost you no matter what age). We used your formula consisting of some F1 and the same pumice filled hand cleaner and his real good elbow grease and the formula got the scratches out. Voila it looks new again! Thank you so much for your help!
Great to hear! Thank you so much for sharing, we truly appreciate it :) And you are right about kids, gotta love em ;) LOL Have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Sometimes it pays to read the comments, because this made me laugh and I needed it today. Thank you (and your son) for the post 👖
I have these in my garage now. Going to polish scratches of quarter windows on my 69 Camaro. Thanks!
glad to help dan
Wow. I will give the secret sauce a try, thank you 4 sharing
Axel You will love the results and thank you for being here !!! :)
Axel Bart why someone would go "wow" before even trying is beyond me. You don't get out much huh?
no micro shards and yes the pads can be used on paint after if they are cleaned well
I have both of these things in my garage almost right next to each other and never thought they could do that to a windshield
OMG! I've got these two items in my house. I'll try this hack this weekend. Thanks a lot.
How did it go? Have a few scratches I need to get rid of on my 4runner
yeah how did it go?
Worked perfectly. My dumb ass in a tired rush thought a license plate wouldn’t be too harsh to scrape some ice off of my windshield.
Super embarrassing but is a fun story now thanks to you.
If you’re watching this video you have to give it a shot. I honestly didn’t think it’d work as I was actually able to catch my fingernail ever so slightly through the scratches. Took about 25 minutes with simply a microfiber towel and you can’t tell at all.
Right on. SO much easier than the way I did it in the old days ' 63 '. I used to polish Petosky Stones by hand using Pumice & Found it was great for Glass also. I may have had to work harder but made good money for a 14 yr. old kid. TYVM for bringing me UP TO DATE with u'r improved method. ALOHA. P.S. 20 bucks for 2-3 hrs. work was good in those days for a windshield.
Mark welcome from the Hawaiian islands and you are very welcome my friend glad to help :)
I work for a reputable auto glass company and I would have to say I'm sceptical. I will give it a try, but all of the glass polishing compounds I've seen will only work to a certain extent. I almost guarantee this will not work on deep scratches. Maybe it will work on glass rubs as I have seen some polish do. But after a point the glass is going to distort in the area you are polishing from the heat of the abrasive. This is a fact! Again I'm very sceptical.
Well we always say if you’re skeptical try the process yourself then you’ll have a real reason to be skeptical or not have a great day
Safelite doesn't count as a reputable glass company. 😂
If you end up giving it a try can you post an update on this thread? I’m kinda interested to hear your thoughts after seeing it in person
@@Dan27894 we can assure you that if your scratches are not too deep that it works great, give it a try and I think you will be surprised at the results
Sweet Project Cars I just wanna see if even a severe skeptic can have his opinion changed after using it! Also, I will try it either way but I think my windshield may have too many chips on the glass
Heck, show us the Indy 500 while you polish! :) Great job!
I got the same rubbing compound and fast orange pumice and mixed in the prescribed ratio 25 to 75 percent. I used a harbor freight polisher and orange 8-inch pad. Have a lot of swirl marks and the scratches are still there. The material seems to soak up into the pad fairly quickly and I have to reload the material. I was hopefully this would work and will update as I give it another try tomorrow.
Gerald you have to use a lot of the mixture until the pad is saturated especially if you are using a dry brand new pad....and it takes alot of high speed polishing as seen in the video it is not a quick process thats for sure we thank you very much for the quality comment it is very helpful for the whole channel :)
One of those rare times when I happen to have everything used in the video, at the house already. God Bless!
Awesome!! Thank you for watching and sharing, have a great rest of your week and all the best on your project my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
@@SweetProjectCars I started on it last night. I don’t have the actual buffer you used, but I have a lighter duty version. I still have a long way to go but I’ll get there.👊
Haaasa. It worked. I had a polish compound but it was too cold to get the orbital out.
Scratched the window pretty bad while scraping ice.
I can confirm it works with polish. 👍👍👍👍 Thanks dude. I was about to call breakers to buy a new back pasager window, that's how bad it was. 🤣
Great job! We really appreciate the view and sharing your results, glad we could help, have a fantastic weekend my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
You always blow ours minds.......awesome.....thanks👍👍👍👍👍👍
thank you :) very much Sadie
I tried this method today , i used gojo , and i a rubbing compound called lazer that apparently is german made... I mixed as you said 75% gojo and 25% rubbing compound , i couldnt find the same 3m pad so i used a hard pad that i was able to find( that is flat and doesnt have the same surface as yours ) , after more than an hour of hard work , i saw that the scratches were 50 fadded from 1/6 of the surface of the entire windshield .keep in mind that my windshield is all scatched up becauae of sand that i was on it and using the whippers ,( stupid i know). Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
great to hear thanks for the great comments and thanks for being here with us :)
Yes but dont you think it too too much time ? I noticed my pad is twice as thick as your's do you think its could be the reason it took that much ?
the pad we use is a very important factor in this process, so yes that maybe the problem...but i would say just keep doing it it will get better if thats the only pad you have. :)
Also a thinner pad is generally going to be more aggressive. If you think about it it's kind of like the sidewall of a tire, smaller sidewall is going to be harsher and a taller is going to be softer. As the pad's moving across the surface the thinner pad is not going to flex as much, it will be cutting more. I've made a few mistakes and that's how I know.
Will try this on my severely pitted windshield when the weather warms up..
Well you can give it a try it sounds like your windshield is not doing very well it will either work or you’ll end up replacing the glass it all depends on how bad it’s pitted or scratched thanks for asking
I was gonna ask about pitted glass too. Post back results please
That's great...been trying all options to remove scratches. Now I Know the trick. Will be knocking this project out once and for all this weekend. Will take before and after pics to share.
Deal glad to hear that
I just got a chance to do this...you aren't joking with elbow grease. My palms are blistering after 30+ min if buffing the glass. While some scratches did come out I still see some. This is going to be a labor of love. I think after three applications the windshield will be smooth as....well you know what I mean. Sorry no pics, lighting is not allowing then to show up.
Found a buffer at a return store for $8 I'm going out Tonight to grab some fast orange. I really hope this works. My windshield is damaged from where my son's mother turned on the wiper after a blade fell off during the trip. She couldn't understand why the water was not being removed from the windshield. Thank God for Rainex, I'm convinced that is the only reason they made it back safely. I'll keep you posted with the results.
You can do it! Thanks for watching and sharing, have a great weekend my friend. mad Mike
Great video man... always the best
thanks kalem we are grateful you are with the group :)
Hi, went to look for the white pad you mention but think you misspoke. You say 3M 05732 but think you meant 05723. The 05732 is a red pad. Just pointing that out in case someone else is trying to find the right pad. Great video as always!
ya i get one wrong once in a while lol that's why I show the pad and their numbers because i know my limitations lol
Sweet Project Cars hey man it's ok to mess up cause you're always coming up with great concoctions like this.
If i used other type of pad..will it affret the result.
nice! ty sir!
Thanks for the video. I had similar scratches on my windshield as you did in your video. My truck is 10 years old and I believe has the original windshield. I do not have a buffer so I used very fine steel wool and a "lot" of elbow grease. Should have bought a buffer. The windshield looks great now.
Glad it helped, we are very proud of you! That you had the tenacity to follow through with the process and ran with it! Great Job Chuck! Have a fantastic evening. mad Mike the hammer SPC

This Man has extraordinary creative ability. I think he's a genius.
David Hall thank you very much for that comment :)
So first use the rubbing compound, then the pumice soap, and then a mixture of the two?
in the video we share using them mixed together :)

Thank you for the tip.. I’ll give it a go this weekend.. cheers 🍻
Pistol Pete you’re very welcome and you’ll love the results my friend have a great night my sweet project cars
I’ll let you know how I get on, my rear window is bad but hopefully your idea takes the eye off it 👍
Worked on my 2003 saturn l200... thanks.. saved me money.. i subscribed as thanks..
good deal shane glad we could help you my friend and we are glad to have you aboard as a sub.
WORKS!!! I only tried it with the fast orange with pumice and it worked worked it in with a drill with the attachments got em at Walmart for like 6.50 window on my car was really hazy and you could see the scratches now al 'll gone thanks!!!
I don't have a buffer yet so I tried it by hand today. Looks like it def improved scratches. How much pressure do you have to apply on the buffer?
dave houston just a couple pounds of pressure, as it is more of time spent on the scratches that matter, but I can tell you this you most likely will not get them all out by hand ...but I do give you credit for doing it by hand. keep up the great work my friend :)
Sweet Project Cars I don't have a buffer either. I'm thinking of swapping out the sand paper in my hand-sander with a microfiber cloth. What do you think?
@@digitalcurrents thats a great idea! Same predicament myself.. should work perfectly I would think / hope 👍
@@digitalcurrents If you live anywhere near a Goodwill or Salvation Army thrift store, they occasionally have power tools, including buffers and angle grinders, for sale a very low prices. Then you can get the buffing pads from almost any hardware store.
digital give it a try and see how it works :)
Any chance of a tour of your corvette or other personal vehicle? I'm sure we would all love to see it.
bigblue one thing i found on youtube is not to look or sound like you are boasting in any way many dont like that so we try to stay off anything personal just to keep the waters calm lol
Aside from the Pumice solution, is it really necessary to use the exact same pads you used? As I am in the middle east, where there is always sand storm and people drive like the ones you hear in the background, the choices are severely limited.
Layput im sorry my friend this is the method we have found that works on glass :)
I had a Class C motorhome with a fiberglass body that collected fine 'dirt' as it aged. I used the orange cleaner with pumice very successfully to make it sparkle. It took forever, but worked perfectly. The cleaner rinses nicely with water. A followup with cleaner/wax and Meguiars as a finale left it looking like new.
We agree with you Matthew! Thank you for watching and sharing, we appreciate it. Have a fantastic day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I’ve used water sandpaper because it’s silicone carbide it will cut just about anything . Take a you think it’s diamond ring if it’s real it will mess the sand paper up if it’s fake it will cut the stone leaving it frosted looking we’re it was sanded. That rubbing compound is good stuff along with the polishing compound I’ve did the water sandpaper trick on the new plastic headlights foggy milky looking then rubbing an after polishing compound. They look like new it last a good bit if you keep wax on them I wax my headlight lens just like my paint . It keeps the elements and uv rays from hurting them so bad ! The hand cleaner with pumic I never would have dreamed but sounds like a real good deal thanks for sharing I’m sure it will come in handy!
