Glass Scratch Removal

We were called to attend a domestic address by a customer who had 3 bi-fold doors with glass scraper scratches to be removed, caused by a cleaner using a metal scraper incorrectly

Unfortunately the scraper had left numerous glass scratches on all 3 of the doors which were very noticeable, especially in the afternoon when the sun was on the glass

Stage 1.

Remove scratches from glass

Starting with our 2nd roughest grit cutting disc we remove the glass on and around the scratches, growing these areas as we cut until they join and become one area

We now cut the glass growing the area evenly so as not to distort the glass during the glass polishing process until all visible traces of the glass scratches are removed

The main focus of this stage of glass polishing is keeping the glass flat whilst we remove the glass scratches

Once we are happy with our area we move on the the next stage

Stage 2.

Remove all traces of previous glass polishing process

We now cut the glass again but this time with a finer grit cutting disc

By now the glass scratches should be gone so the main focus of this stage is working the area evenly as one to guarantee the full removal of the previous stage whilst still keeping the glass flat so as not to distort it during the glass polishing process

When we have gone over our area 2-3 times, not forgetting to slightly increase its size, we check that all traces of the previous glass polishing stage and all glass scratches are removed

Once we are happy with our area we move on to the next stage

Stage 3.

Remove all traces of previous glass polishing process

We once again cut the glass but this time with an even finer grit cutting disc

As with the previous stage the glass scratches should be gone so the main focus of this stage is working the area evenly as one to guarantee the full removal of the previous stage whilst still keeping the glass flat so as not to distort it during the glass polishing process

When we have gone over our area 2-3 times, not forgetting to slightly increase its size, we check that all traces of the previous glass polishing stage and all glass scratches are removed

Once we are happy with our area we move on to the next stage

Stage 4.

Remove all traces of previous glass polishing process

We now cut the glass for the final time, once again with an even finer grit cutting disc

The main focus of this stage is again working the area evenly as one to guarantee the full removal of the previous stage whilst still keeping the glass flat during the glass polishing process

When we have gone over our area 2-3 times, not forgetting to slightly increase its size, we check that all traces of the previous glass polishing stage and all glass scratches are removed

Once we are happy with our area we move on to the final stage, polishing

Stage 5.

Polish the glass to restore clarity

We have now cut the glass to a point where it is fine enough to be polished

We now use a polishing pad and polish to remove the previous stage of the glass polishing process and bring the glass back to its original clarity

When we have gone over our area 2-3 times we check that all traces of the previous glass polishing stage and all glass scratches are gone

The job has now been completed

All scratches have been fully removed from the glass and all traces of the glass polishing process are gone

The glass is once again back to its original scratch free condition and clarity, all in a matter of hours and at a fraction of the cost of replacement
