Where are you located Chris? Are the scratches in a straight line? Like something is scratching as they roll up and down?

I don't think they would get deeper from polishing, but may have cleaned them, making them more visible, and able to feel.

Can you snap a picture?

I'm located in LaGrange, Georgia. And no there are scratches from left to right on the side windows to where it looks like I was scrubbing them with the wool. There others that look as if its been scratched from sand.. There like scratches in like a circled motion.. And I've tried to get pictures but the scratches won't show up in the pictures. Just looks like its crystal clear. Like a mirror but in the right lighting especially at night you can see the scratches everywhere especially when certain light hits it. I can describe the scratches as those on paint in a circle motion. Also The ones from the wool are a bit different scratches..
 
I wonder if there is someone in the area able to lend a hand. Maybe the carpro polishing pads aren't cutting enough with that tool.

Yeah I've been looking for somewhere just to get my whole car detailed.. Swirls in my paint, reflections not that great, windows need scratches removed etc. I just haven't found anywhere...

You gotta do it yourself!
 
Just gotta get the time to do so. I'm mostly concerned with the windows.. Just looks like ill have to wait right now..
 
How much polishing have you done in the past? Glass is 10x harder to remove scratches from than paint. If you haven't done much of either, you'll realize it can be a very tedious, long process to make them perfect. You might be able to run a bit more air pressure, to keep the pad spinning under pressure.


Send me a PM if you want to try a better tool. Electric will not have the same challenges as air powered tools.

It can be done with a FLEX or Rotary. I believe that a PC would take days.

It is a lot of work

Here is a quick video of the two driver's side window on my Yukon that I corrected with CarPro CeriGlass, CarPro 5" Rayon Pads and a FLEX 3401.

It can be done with a GG6. Didn't take me too long. I've done it multiple times.
 
The new tool you've got will take care of those. They aren't nearly as bad as I imagined.

oh those are just the pictures i could get while the sun was hitting it. the ones i am worried about is that large rear one in the picture. the third picture. also on the passenger window and the widescreen in front of the passenger. those are the scratches that concern me.. i just couldnt get them at the time..
 
Well I spent about 8 hours working my ass off on just the drivers side windows. there is 3 of them and a small one and got most all of the scratches out. I still have the whole other side and the front and rear windshield. My feet were killing me. These pads are pretty eaten away. hopefully in the mourning I can get a better look at the progress.. Didnt really take that much into a detailed look yesterday but did see alot of the scratches were removed! Ill take some pictures tomorrow of the progress..

Good to hear progress is being made.

Liked the Freudian slip: "mourning"...
That really tells the tale, doesn't it.

I'm glad to hear its working out for you. It sounds like you might need to get some more pads.
