New Life for Old Glass, renovation trick :)

[wldnas]

I've just found a new trick for renovating old window glass parts that might have yellowed with age or got some mild scratches or gravel rash.

I've tried this on a set of Sand Scorcher glass and I'm quite surprized at the result, all you need is a soft cloth and a can of Pledge furnature polish, the kind im using is the Springtime fresh Furniture Polish. as with most polishes it has fine very grains in it which acts like a mild cutting paste and can smooth out mild marks and scratches.

all you do is spray a small amount directly onto the plastic then start working it in with a circular motion with the cloth, once the polish disolves, wipe down with a dry part of the cloth to bring out the shine, if its covered with scartches then you might have to do a few coats, inside and out to get the finish down to something acceptable, it dosent get rid of yellowing completely but it does reduce it a little.

My scorcher glass was dirty and "rashed" but after a few goings over with the polish has come up really well.

why noy try it yourself if you have some old marked glass work youd like to reserect.

I've also heard that using a car cutting/colour restoring polish in the same way as you describe above, and then polishing with a regular car polish does the same, although a little better. using the regular car polish puts the shine back in to the glass which the slightly harsher cutting polish takes out. I think this way is a little better at getting rid of deeper scratches.
