    Some phone repair shops will also let you “print” custom dimension glass screen covers. Good way to protect after you do all that work.

    This is great since I'm very much into car audio and collecting "old school" car audio as well. I actually use to be a mobile detailer and have a little knowledge of polishing and buffing. In fact Kevin aka Buff Daddy himself helped me out a few months ago before my last spinal surgery (4 in 3.5 years) by sending me a nice assortment of small pads. I'm so thankful for that.
    Of course he sent some of the1inch pads. I have been using my Milwaukee 12v right angle drill as well as the regular drill for more RPM's.
    I've used several different compounds and polishes but I've quickly realized that once you're comfortable with the process, the mow down method works wonders with this type of plastic when it's heavily scratched. Using a stiffer pad seems to do better as it's more porous and hold more of the removed plastic....not clear. I had to quickly realize there is a huge difference between the two. The plastic simply will not come out of the pad easily with a MF towel and needs a deeper cleaning. This is why I sit out 3 of the burgandy pads and preload them with 105. I know, that sounds ROUGH but I promise you what you make back in less time trying over and over heating up the screen, makes this a safer process. After it's preloaded, I a tiny micro drop of 105 in the center of the pad, if any, since I want the pours open to catch the plastic. With the drill being used, I'm only hitting around 900ish RPM's. This is pretty slow and work left to right and then up and down....not till the compound is diminishing. I look at my 3 pads as one big pad. I do this process2 complete cycles with 1-1-1....1-1-2...cadence. Hopefully that makes since. I then quickly wipe the product from the screen (don't have to remove everything) remove the pad, grab the other, put it on, and go right back. Repeating the above process. Then one more time. I don't even finish the compound out like you would on paint. All I'm doing, in my words, is chemically sanding the plastic. Just like water keeps the paper from clogging when wetsanding, the 105 is doing this with pad while adding abrasives along with the cutting ability of the pad itself.
    This is much faster than what I was doing before which was working a polish in slowly with a soft pad. This was heating the plastic up as it was taking much longer especially if there was deeper scratches.
    I now clean all the compound up and polish out with 205 and yellow pad then black pad. I forgot to mention that I have a container of rather warm water and Dawn to throw the pads in as soon as I'm done. This keeps the plastic that was removed to set up and harden in the pad.
    Just my process. Again, I worked on maybe 20 headunits, rare and expensive first with old method as I progressed and moved into this new one.

      absolutely. I had some sort of unknown marks/residue on the inside of my Miata gauge cluster lens when I bought the car last summer. I took it apart and hit both inside and outside of the plastic lens with 105/205 on 3" pads, and it now looks brand new. I tried 205 first, which did not get rid of all the residue marks (whatever the heck it was), but 105 did the trick, then 205 again to refine it out.

    How do you deal with customer satisfaction? Obviously overall you are improving the car by working on it, but lets say you create a little scratch somewhere or some item cannot be saved? Most customers would be reasonable, but there could be some that are a pain in the butt. How do you avoid drama?
    If you crack a headlight than obviously you will pay for a new one, but how about little things?

    Great video. We do this on typical bmw e and f type screens where the antiglare has been scratched by phone or just bad microfiber. Polishing it off, and buy a new antiglare film. Try this when you have the possibility, the results are amazing and saves you a lot more than buying a new screen.
    Same prosess, just adding the new antiglare

    • @Patrick94GSR
      @Patrick94GSR 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      glass is an extremely hard material, making it very difficult to polish. Just about the only thing that will make a dent in those scratches will be cerium oxide, sold as Ceriglass and probably some other products. Careful, though, because it's an extremely messy process.

    • @rotor13
      @rotor13 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Best not to mess with it. You can get rid of it with cerium-oxide, but if you don't know what you're doing you'll end up ruining the glass. Glass is really hard to get looking new, and really easy to ruin chasing the result

    • @lazar2175
      @lazar2175 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not to mention, if your glass was scratched, it was most probably not the tracks.
      It might just be very hard to remove smudges, i once had that problem on my mk4 golf. Looked like scratched but it actually was some piece of hard rubber chafing against glass and it was so stubborn that only a drill mounted adhesive remover thing could remove it.
      If it is really scratches, you might want to remove your door cards and look into what's causing the scratches, more than likely some stuff fell into the tracks, maybe some sand or something similar.

      No, for the same reason he mentioned to not polish touchscreens. Just replace the screen and get one of those screen protectors that gives you a sacrificial glass layer.

      You can polish a phone touch screen because it’s glass(obviously glass has its own difficulty and concerns with heat buildup). Larry was specifically talking about not polishing car touch screens that are a matte plastic like a laptop screen, those are fairly fragile and should even be wiped with care.

    wouldn't it be a lot easier to do it by hand from the beginning?
    its a small area and soft surface, so no need for the extra power and speed of the machine
    but a lot less mess and more control

      Youd be surprised how much longer it would take trying to polish that by hand

    I’ve been doing this for years. I just use the 3” discs that they sell on amazon or the headlight re-store kit.

    Can I be that guy and ask what would happen if you did this to a touch screen? Or at least polish with a microfiber and no power tools? Started watching this video cuz my touch screen has sone scratches..😩
