Scratches and dings in an automobile's windshield can go from a small problem to a widening crack very quickly. Abrasive elemental damage, other motorists and even animals pose a threat to glass integrity, making upkeep of a windshield very important. Products available to remove varying degrees of scratches range from simple hand-buffed gels to those requiring electric-powered brushes to resurface the glass. Spending a little money on a repair kit now can save a driver a large amount of money down the road should that little scratch become a larger problem.
Janvil Glass Restore System
The Janvil Glass Restore System is designed as a solution to minor scrapes or scratches in auto glass surfaces. Liquid scratch remover is applied to the glass surface then hand-buffed away to reveal a blemish-free surface. Janvil's system only requires a soft cloth to buff the restoration liquid away from the glass surface and requires no special equipment, making it ideal for the consumer wishing to remove minor nicks or superficial scratches from a windshield.
Diamondite Glass Restoration
Diamondite glass resurfacing creme is designed to handle moderate auto glass scratches. Milled abrasives in the creme act to smooth the top of scratched auto glass which, in effect, remove the scratch by creating a wider surface area. A glass "poli-shield" is then applied to the resurfaced auto glass to seal in the newly exposed portions of windshield. This ensures that no new elements, such as minerals in rain water, stones or other abrasives, rescratch the windshield. You will need an electric polisher capable of 800-1000 RPMs in order to buff the resurfacing creme away from the auto glass.
Spectrum Glass Restoration Kit
The Spectrum Glass Restoration System is a hand-operated windshield resurfacing kit designed to tackle tough windshield scratches. Spectrum utilizes a proprietary resin injection method to fill deep scratches while removing the air from the scratch in order to create a tight fit. Spectrum's simple design and ease of use increase the likelihood that those without professional training in auto glass repair can successfully use the system to repair scratches at home.
