Polishing Minor Scratches From Windshield, Remove Hard Water Deposits From Glass!! P & S CLARITY!!

- In todays video, I share my experience with P&S Clarity. There is nothing worse than seeing your car covered in water spots! It's unfortunate that we can't prevent rain or sprinklers from staining our cars with those pesky spots... Not only are they ugly to look at, but they cause vision problems while driving, making driving slightly more dangerous. Here is something to consider from P&S.
DIRECTIONS:
Wash and clay glass if necessary.
For light duty polishing, use by hand with microfiber towels.
For medium duty cleaning and beyond, use a machine paired with a foam or wool pad, depending upon severity.
Polish using overlapping pattern, either by hand or by machine, until glass is restored to original condition.
Repeat as necessary.
Once complete, allow for polish to dry to haze and polish to a bright finish.

Polishing out light imperfections or contaminates is very possible. You would need to get very aggressive for heavy scratches. Not something I advise.
Love how the shop dog stays by your side🥰
Now here's something ya don't see everyday. I'd much rather do that on the exterior windows than just cleaning the inside windows. Especially the rear windows on older cars that have a big ole deck a couple feet deep. That blows. Excellent window guy you are. Something to add to your resume.
Thanks Brian!
One of the best demonstration for taking care of glass and plastic jeep windows! A Big Thanks to you Brian! 😊!!!! The Master!!! The Best Detailing channel! Bar Non!
Excellent as always Brian 👊🏼Another video for the reference library.The amount of excellent information and how to is priceless.Anyone who is starting out could learn so much from these videos.Thanks for all the time and dedication you put into the channel it’s always a pleasure to watch the knowledge you have.✊👊🏼
Great video. Thanks for the information. This is probably the best, most informative video on window polishing that I have come across. Quick, to the point with no random talking etc. I recognize the glass cleaner and that is what I swear by when cleaning my car glass. You should post a link to it if you get affiliate money. Plus, its great to see you have your helpers, including the black and white dog. You can never go wrong with a dog in the video.
Awesome Brian. Machine polishing glass truly makes a difference in the overall detail. 💎
Another great video Brian always appreciate these.
Just finished getting a deeper scrape like scratch out of my windshield. Used Carpro Ceri Glass and their glass pad. It took about an hour and a half with good pressure and constantly spraying the glass with water on hand close by, but I finally got it out. If you're going after a bad scratch be prepared to spend some time on it and expend some elbow grease.
@@EireFirst2024 I don't really have anything to compare it against as that's the only thing I tried. It was a fairly coarse compound that seemed to do its job. One thing I'd spray my work area with water to keep the heat down as I worked and I found the product would kind of come back and give me more work time after I thought it was done.
@@mikefraser1294 cheers Mike.
All the best & ye appreciate you answering me 👍🍻
As a 2021 Jeep Wrangler owner of the same color, been hoping for this one Brian. Thank you!!!
Another great video! You've been hitting home runs lately!
Great video and great demo of that product.
From what I’m seeing of P & S products here on TH-cam,they seem to have a very good line.
I had no idea Crème could be used on plastic. As always I learn from your videos and thank you for taking the time to film the video.
Finally some1 is covering a topic no1 does.leave it 2 you
Thank you for the tips and sharing your experience and recommendations!
Always fantastic and informative videos - thank you for the effort Brian :)
I just used this polish on my glass shower doors. Awesome results, where water spot remover hardly made an impact.
Good stuff!! I like it.. it's actually been on the list for a while now..living on a gravel road is absolutely horrible for windshields...side and back glass😬
An easy way to get water spots off glass is to use an acid cleaner. Unfortunately, it leaves behind a smeary mess that clings to glass like nothing else … usually have to polish it off anyway. So while I do NOT recommend acid on glass, literally any light polish will work. P&S seem to have come up with a “least aggressive” approach here, I like it.
Brian has a wonderful technique for pretty much all aspects of detailing, but him stressing the importance of prep-work is so key to understanding a detailer’s job. Prep is like 50% of the work, skipping these steps will result in half-assed results. Even something as basic as taping off trim and/or weather stripping, I see a lot of detailers avoid it … there are reasons we still do this. Non-staining, low dust or no dust products do not save you from hitting it with a pad. It’s called mitigating risk.
😊😊😊
First thanks for the time you put in. Awesome videos.
After coating the windshield, would it be advised to get new wiper blades?
Best wishes
Thanks for the video... very informative.
Great Job !
Thanks for the great video, learned a lot! So at what speed would you suggest to run the polisher? Thank you Brian!
Amazing video and tutorial good friend. Huge shocker it came out amazing. Lol.b well good friend
Another great video, thanks. What or how is best to polish tinted windows and can they be coated?
Excellent. Is there a speed setting on a 1-10 polisher you'd recommend? Is there any reason why I shouldn't put a hydrophobic treatment on my rearview mirrors? Or back windows - I never see anyone do it in these videos. Any polisher brand you recommend?
Another great video. Does this work on dull, yellow plastic windows?
This is awesome!!.. Thanks Brian! 👍
That's some super clean glass. Did you clean the wiper blades? Blades catch and hold a lot of grime, so it would seem to make sense to at least wipe the wiper blades with a cleaner. I use Invisible Glass and wipe with microfiber towels that I then throw away. Your thoughts?
I use 70% rubbing alcohol you can pick up at your local pharmacy. Place the alcohol on a MF towel and run it along the wiper blade. You’d be amazed how much dirt you remove.
job well done sir
can the coating used on glass work on car paints too
Thanks!
I use vinegar on hardwater. The amount of acetic acid in vinegar is harmless to finishes.
Good morning Brian thank you
My convertible top window is oxidized… hard to see through at all. Will try.
I have some scratches on my windshield from the wiper blades that have accumulated over time. Very annoying when driving at night. What pad combination would you suggest with the PS clarify used in the video? Thanks
For plastic convertible windows, I've had great results with meguiar's plastX! With DA and yellow polishing foam pad. Even better by starting with a DA and meguiar's water spot remover + yellow foam pad, followed by plastX. Otherwise another excellent review my friend 👌 👍 👍 👍
Great video as always Brian. Have you found a window sealant that doesnt show that miserable film/glare at night in the rain yet?
Interesting. I use steel wool quad 0 for glass. I live in Florida so most people spray down cars with hose and hot sun bakes that hard water in bad
Hello… okay, just a private car owner, but I gave this a go (watched the original vid too). Wow, this was work, too embarrassed to say how long it took. Got out some deep scratches from a wiper running without the blade attached. Except the very deepest, it got them all out. BUT… I have a lot of fine little swirl scratches that becomes apparent at night when driving under any street light. What can I do to remove these? Well, after the new coating wares off, lol. I actually hurt from the work 😂
To improve the clarity of your winshield you have to improve your technique. Polish 50x50cm spot using new felth pad and cerium based polish. Work the polish in with mediun to hard press force to diminish particle size of the polish. After 8-10 passes, while constantly spraying water to lube the pad and beeing carefull not to get the glass hot, wash your pad, spin it to get the water out and polish again. I recomend one new felth pad for half of windscreen. The cleaner you keep the felth pad, the best clarity you will get. You will get to a good clarity with a lot of elbow grease, the lights won't bother you in the night, but polishing will make windshield pitting (small rock chips) worse. Best advice is to save your money from buying these products and replace your windshield. I got into this after i've seen somone (chemicalguys) using regular polish and pad to "clean" the windshield. I've tried it andI've managed to put a lot of scratches in it. I was so upset at the time, just got the car...
windshield / inside - interior is plastic coated - so no buffing? the outgassing gets old - esp if customer ever Armor-All'ed their dashboard
Finally some1 who is covering and demonstrating
Other than cerium oxide glass polishes, I feel like heavy cut compounds work just as well and make many glass polishes redundant
They work well for waterspots, not so much for deep scratches or etching. Imo of course.
@@joeschmoe6908 For deep scratches cerium oxide is definitely best. My point is that unless the glass polish has cerium oxide your probably better off just sticking with your regular paint compound.
100% agreed.
Can I use regular car polish and my least aggressive pad in lieu of buying glass polish and a glass pad?
No way! I've seen on youtube somone using it and i tried. It ruined my windshield. After 5 hors of ceruim based glass polish i got an acceptable result. But best advice is to leave it at it is and when it's too scratched save your money from buying these things and replace the winshield.
Nice thanks for sharing 😊
I use a wrong pad and i saw the buffing marks i didnt know what else to do so i just coated it lol rookie mistakes
Brian, is that polish some kind of compound?
Hi Brian, what polisher's speed you used to polish the windscreen? Thanks.
I tried ceriglass by hand with the block applicator on my windshield to get out 2 wiper scratches, very fine scratches. It did absolutely nothing. Guess I need to purchase a machine polisher
By hand can net some results on paint, but on glass you really need a polisher to remove any minor scratches
What brand is the 3" cordless polisher?
What kind of cordless polishing unit are you using?
Good morning any suggestions on how to remove ink pen from car paint?
Good video. Particularly the soft glass. Brian did I see a new floor?
I have very fine scratches on the outside and inside of my windshield caused by using paper towels to clean it up. Is there a way to remove those fine scratches? Since they are also in the inside, I would prefer something that I could apply by hand. I don't want to spread compound all over my dash and headliner, plus there are very hard to reach spots with any rotary power tool
can you use 3D one on glass? with LC med cut pad?
Can you do rain deflectors?
Brian, what product did you use to coat the glass, and was it the same as the windshield?
Yes...it was Gyeon Q2 View
Thank you for your prompt response as always.
Ordered some👍
Def has a finish pop to it!
Do you use a regular clay bar or is it a glass specific? If regular clay is it a fine or medium grade?
Any brand clay bar or mitt would work.
Can I use meguiars ultimate polish by hand to polish the windscreen
Whereis your bussiness located?
Not using Glassparency anymore?
How well does the coating hold up to the wiper blades. I haven’t had any luck with durability
The key here is not to use the wipers,or use them only with wet glass to add slickness and lubrication. Otherwise, you’re back to square one…
There are many excellent coatings but I've had great luck with Griot's Glass Sealer...make sure your glass is super clean (I usually do a wash with regular car soap and water or ONR, then a real solid go round with Invisible Glass and a good quality glass microfiber) and then apply as directed. I've gotten 6 and 7 months out of it on vehicles that live outdoors 24/7. Partnered with Rain-X windshield washer fluid, it's a killer combination that will both keep your windshield from getting carved up with scratches, but also make it easier to see and extend the life of your wipers dramatically.
Hey Brian. Would love to see a windshield correction with really deep scratches, if that's even possible.
I takes a really really long time. Like hours. Thats with a rotary at high speed. Better to just replace the windshield.
@@joeschmoe6908 just use 1000 or 800 grit sand paper sand it,,then polish ita simple
What Pads to use on Front Windshield?
It's called isinglass, they make special cleaners and polishes for that, deal with it on boats
Why would you only give it an 8 out of ten and say it really doesn't remove scratches. I don't believe that is the intent of the product. I think the product is primarily for removing contaminants such as grime and hard water spots.
Will any polish work 4 glass?
