Goodday fellow members,may I know what to use to remove swirl line and scratches from auto glass by rotary buffer. Any expert here. Hope to advise from fellow members thks
I have not used the Ceriglass product yet but I've used numerous glass polishes in my life and the only ones that worked well contained cerium oxide as their abrasive component.
I've found it requires a rotary buffer and quite a bit of downward pressure at a medium speed to truly remove even light scuffs, abrasions and very shallow scratches.
My experience with all glass polishes to date is that they are very messy and in the below thread I've shared pictures and strongly recommended to cover everything surrounding the glass before turning the rotary buffer on.

Mini-hijack alert. thought I'd sneak in and ask another quick question here. Mike with all of the elbow grease required for this process, how do you hit the middle most sections of the windshields effectively. Even with a workbench/step-stool, it just seems like a tough reach to maintain that kind of constant pressure needed??
I'm doing a pretty good job on each side, but the middle is definitely lacking.

Big guns...
Seriously... shrink your work area downward, take a break so your muscles are not fatigued and then execute the process with perfect form.
I was at the gym this morning working out, helps to be in good shape when it comes to buffing out cars...
