so I have a couple of these for my Trekker . Both are ok , but have scratches on the glass ... So I decided to try "fix" the worst one .. This one was from a unit I parted a few years back .. It was rolled , as you can see the deep scratches on the glass . so first .. I put some tape on the back side , so I would know ware I'm working then I brought out the DA and started to sand it with 220 it as far as I got today .. .
Sweet i always wanted to see someone do this. I saw something on "The Powerblock" on tv but it wasmt very detailed. I wana see the end result
got a little bit more done today wet sanded with 400G wet sanded with 600G wet sanded with 800G and removed the tape just need to polish to remove the haze .
I spent a few more hours sanding .. and polishing .. 6 hours total so far reflection is awesome , but there are still some haze spots .. captured pretty good on the camera , but you really have to "look" to see them .. and I think on top of the roof , no one would ever notice overall , I'm pretty happy .. no more scratches , which were visable from far with the roof open , and also visable from looking inside up at the roof .. you no longer can see them , and the minimal haze , is not visable either .
maybe a REALLY gritty compound, i had one i never used because it would scratch as much as it would buff.. i could feel the grit in it, one of the 3M compounds so any paint store should have it, that might "cut" a little more than the regular compound.. im very interested in trying this now! even if it's hazy it's better than the giant scratch
