[TR] Glass Polishing

[wbeech at flash.net]

Also, very handy for cleaning the buildup outside of the wiper sweep on the
family car as well.  I think the formula I heard was vinegar and 5x0 (00000)
steel wool, same process.

Before getting into the glass polishing project (which is fraught with
damage possibilities due to heat build up when polishing)  try cleaning your
windshield with a sponge and "Soft Scrub" (made by Chlorox - your wife
probably already has it in the kitchen).  Use moderate pressure in a
circular motion.  Soft Scrub has a very mild abrasive in it which really
polishes off mild scratches and years of discloloration.  Rinse very
thoroughly with lots of water and dry.  You'll be amazed at the results.

    I  have my TR6 in the paint shop and am repainting the windshield frame
at the same time. I have the glass out of the frame. It is the original
glass
(1974) with no real pitting or rock chips. I was thinking of polishing the
glass while it is out and re-using it. I like the Safevue label on it. Does
anyone have any experience with glass polishing? It seems like if I take it
to a glass shop that they'll charge so much that it'll be easier to just buy
new glass. I was thinking that somewhere there is a polishing kit that
wouldn't be too much money.
