This just a short review on the CarPro CeriGlass. Ever since I bought my Volvo back in August I noticed that the rear windshield had etched in water spots. Just recently I received for Christmas some CarPro CeriGlass and a Lake Country 5.5" Glass Polishing Pad. After finding a day I could leave the garage door up while I polished away, I got to work.
The car was recently washed a week or so ago, so there was not much dirt on the glass. Some ONR diluted to QD ratio cleaned the dust right up.
Then I proceeded to clay the glass with Blackfire Poly Clay with FK425 as a lubricant. After claying no contaminants were left on the clay, but the glass did feel a bit smoother.
Now finally on to the CeriGlass review.
Here is what I had to begin with..
I put down a tape line for a 50/50 comparison and then got my Porter Cable 7424XP with a Lake Country 5.5" Glass Polishing Pad and applied some CeriGlass. I spread around the polish with the Porter Cable off to reduce splatter and sling, then turned the machine on while on speed 4 to cover my working area. After that I bumped the speed up to 6 and started working the area with moderate pressure and very slow overlapping passes. Once the polish residue started to become clear I stopped and per CarPro's instructions I wiped the area down with water and a MF.
These were the results..
I then went on and finished the other half and came up with these results..
Here are some more 50/50 and finished shots..
I was very impressed with this product and how well it worked with a dual action polisher. Wipe off of the product was not the easiest but with the help of some QD it did come off. My pad was 90% clean when just rinsed with water and squeezed out. Some XMT pad cleaner did the rest of the work. This was a major advantage in my opinion. Made clean up a lot easier. I did not notice any heat up of the glass after polishing a section which is a plus. But a rotary polisher would achieve quicker results. I highly recommend this product for use by dual action polisher or rotary buffer.
