Glass Restoration Process

Our system and process is proprietary and the following information is being provided in summary form. Additional technical details are available on request.

Equipment & Materials

Variable Speed Grinding Tool
Vacuum & Dust Shroud
Abrasive Pads
Polishing Felt Pad
Cerium Oxide Polishing Compound

Process

Abrasive pads are employed, in a dry process, in sequence starting from the roughest grit necessary, as determined by the degree of damage to the surface.

Seven to eight abrasive steps followed by one final nonabrasive polish / finishing step to include felt pad, cerium oxide and minimal water.

Abrasive work is performed with care to not overheat the surface. Depending on the surface area being worked on, to maintain a temperature in the desired range may require stopping from time to time to let the surface cool down.

Following the abrasive sequence, a polishing process is employed using a felt pad and a cerium oxide mixture applied to the pad and the surface with water at a controlled rate of rpms.

Work is performed in a meticulous grid pattern, “feathering out” the removal of surface damage to maintain the best possible optical quality of the glass and minimize any optical variations. In some cases, the best result may include leaving a small remnant of the damaged area where the damage is very deep so as to achieve the best possible overall outcome.

Surrounding areas are protected from work in process as necessary and personnel employ necessary personal protection.
