As the title says, I want to know if Meg's D300 can be used to polish glass and windshields. or what other polish combos besides a glass polish, as I do not have any, is recommended. I have used Menz IP before, but will be using D300 and wanted to keep things simple. I will be protecting the glass after words to help prevent environmental staining and spotting. Eric
I will also be getting the meg's system but I'm not sure we should be using such a agreesive combo, I think a medium level polish (M205) and a white LC pad or Green Uber/B&S pad is as far as you should go. Godoman was discussing this on one of his thread and appearntly there's a coating on glass and it varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, if you burn or go through this coating and don't follow up with something permanent ie. Opti-Coat then it's not a good idea to polish it extensively in the first place. Was there water etching that you wanted to remove?
Just 2 days ago I polished all the glass on my new work van with D300 and an orange pad, it worked incredible. -Kody-
I just tried it, D300 with the mf finishing pad, it worked like a charm (very quick passes just to get rid of water etching, glass wasn't even close to being warm)
I asked on Turkey day and finally used D300 w/ MF Cutting pad on Christmas eve. I needed the right car to try it on. When I asked I thinking about trying it on the glass of a '11 Maxima with heavy fall-out, but decided against it. IMHO D300 did a good job at removing the staining and deep cleaning the surface. D300 did not want to remove defects in the glass, such as pits, chips or scratches and I did not want to remove these either. My process was: Wash Clay D300 1z Windscreen clear Powerlock I will be trying this process again.
you won't be able to remove pits or chips from glass with compound and polish, if its bad enough I would go ahead and replace the windshield.
I should have proofed what I typed. I just wanted to remove the water spotting and other staining from the for better vision. IMO D300 is not one the proper tools for removing major defects from glass. D300 did the job I wanted of removing the bonded film from the glass,
