GLASS SCRATCH REMOVAL
STEP 1: MEASURE
The scratch depth is measured to determine the severity of the scratch and the expected outcome result. The scratch length is measured to determine the material use and the time of the job. Scratches are categorized in the following levels of severity:

LIGHT
The scratch is 1/1000" deep or less. The scratch will appear light white in color. It can be restored with no distortion and minimal abrasive steps.

MEDIUM
The scratch is over 1/1000". The scratch appears distinctly white in color. It can be removed with multiple steps with minimal to no distortion in the glass.

DEEP
The scratch is up to 3/1000" deep. The scratch is white in color and can be scalloped on the edges with glass missing along the scratch edge. It requires multiple abrasive and polish steps to remove the scratch and restore clarity. Slight distortion may occur from the repair.

SEVERE
The scratch is deeper than 3/1000" and visible distortion will occur by removing the glass to the bottom of the scratch.


STEP 2: EVALUATE DEPTH & LENGTH
The scratch depth is measured to determine the abrasive steps that are needed and to gauge the blending area to avoid distortion. The scratch length is measured to determine the time spent using each abrasive step and estimate the total time of the job. The scratch depth can be measured using a Digital Micrometer and the thickness of the glass measured throughout the process using an Ultrasonic Instrument.


STEP 3: MASK & PROTECT
The work area is completely covered with painter’s mask, plastic on the bottom and absorbent on the top, and taped into place. Carpets, walls and fixtures will be protected in buildings. Vehicles are masked to protect the paint from any overspray.

STEP 4: REMOVE SCRATCH
The initial scratch is removed using the most robust abrasives that remove the surrounding glass in increments of less than 1/10,000th of an inch per application. When the scratch is completely removed, the glass will be opaque and/or white from the aggressive abrasion.

STEP 5: RESTORE CLARITY
Clarity is restored by applying lesser abrasives in diminishing stages to create a smoother surface to the glass. As each application of lesser abrasive is applied, additional clarity is achieved. This process can be from three to twelve steps of various abrasives.

STEP 6: RESTORE FINISH
Using foam pads the final polish is made with a mixture of rare earths and oxides to remove the residual haze from the abrasives and restore the like-new clarity of the glass.

STEP 7: CLEAN
All masking materials, tape and debris is collected in waterproof containers and removed from the site. All polish residue is wiped clean. There is no trace of work being done in the area.


GLASS SCUFF REMOVAL
STEP 1: MEASURE
The scuff depth is measured to determine the severity of the scuff and the expected outcome result. The scuff area is measured in square feet or inches to determine the material use and the time of the job. Scuffs are categorized in the following levels of severity:

LIGHT
The scuff is 1/000” deep or less. The scuff will appear light white in color. The area of the scuff is consistent in depth. It can be restored with no distortion and minimal abrasive steps.

MEDIUM
The scuff is over 1/1000". The scuff appears distinctly white in color. The depths may vary throughout the scuff. It can be removed with multiple steps with minimal to no distortion in the glass.

DEEP
The scuff is up to 3/1000" deep. The scuffs are white in color and can be scalloped on the edges with glass missing along the scuff edge. It requires multiple abrasive and polish steps to remove the scuff and restore to clarity. Slight distortion may occur in certain areas from the repair.

SEVERE
The scratch is deeper than 3/1000" and visible distortion will occur by removing the glass to the bottom of the scratch.


STEP 2: EVALUATE DEPTH & LENGTH
The scuff depth is measured to determine the abrasive steps that are needed and to gauge the blending area to avoid distortion. The scuff area is measured in square feet or square inches to determine the time spent using each abrasive step and estimate the total time of the job. The scuff depth can be measured using a Digital Micrometer and the thickness of the glass measured throughout the process using an Ultrasonic Instrument.


STEP 3: MASK & PROTECT
The work area is completely covered with painter’s mask, plastic on the bottom and absorbent on the top, and taped into place. Carpets, walls and fixtures will be protected in buildings. Vehicles are masked to protect the paint from any overspray.

STEP 4: REMOVE SCUFF
The initial scuff is removed using the most robust abrasives that remove the surrounding glass in increments of less than 1/10,000th of an inch per application. When the scuff is completely removed, the glass will be opaque and/or white from the aggressive abrasion.

STEP 5: RESTORE CLARITY
Clarity is restored by applying lesser abrasives in diminishing stages to create a smoother surface to the glass. As each application of lesser abrasive is applied, additional clarity is achieved. This process can be from three to twelve steps of various abrasives.

STEP 6: RESTORE FINISH
Using foam pads the final polish is made with a mixture of rare earths and oxides to remove the residual haze from the abrasives and restore the like-new clarity of the glass.

STEP 7: CLEAN
All masking materials, tape and debris is collected in waterproof containers and removed from the site. All polish residue is wiped clean. There is no trace of work being done in the area.


GLASS STAIN REMOVAL
STEP 1: EVALUATE
The stain thickness is evaluated to determine the severity of the staining and the expected outcome result. The stained area is measured in square feet or square inches to determine the material use and the time of the job. Stained Glass is categorized in the following levels of severity:

LIGHT
The stain is not thick enough to obscure vision. Can be restored with no distortion and minimal abrasive steps.

MEDIUM
The stain is a thicker layer than Light and the stain drops overlap to obscure safe driving vision. The stain can be removed with multiple steps with no distortion.

DEEP
The stain is thick and widely overlapping. It appears like dried soap suds. Deep Staining requires multiple abrasive and polish steps to remove the stain build up and restore to clarity. The stain is white in color and widespread.

SEVERE
The stain is etched into the glass deeper than 3/100th of an inch and visible distortion will occur by removing the stains to the bottom of the etching.


STEP 2: EVALUATE THICKNESS & AREA
The stain thickness is measured to determine the abrasive steps that are needed to removed the buildup without creating distortion. The stain area is measured to determine the time spent using each abrasive step and estimate the total time of the job. The thickness of the glass can be measured throughout the process using an Ultrasonic Instrument.


STEP 3: MASK & PROTECT
The work area is completely covered with painter’s mask, plastic on the bottom and absorbent on the top, and taped into place. Carpets, walls and fixtures will be protected in buildings. Vehicles are masked to protect the paint from any overspray.

STEP 4: REMOVE STAIN
The initial scratch is removed using the least robust abrasives necessary that remove the stains in increments of less than 1/10,000th of an inch per application. When the stain is completely removed, the glass may be opaque and/or white from the abrasion.

STEP 5: RESTORE CLARITY
Clarity is restored by applying lesser abrasives in diminishing stages to create a smoother surface to the glass. As each application of lesser abrasive is applied, additional clarity is achieved. This process can be from one to three steps of various abrasives.

STEP 6: RESTORE FINISH
Using foam pads the final polish is made with a mixture of rare earths and oxides to remove the residual haze from the abrasives and restore the like-new clarity of the glass.

STEP 7: CLEAN
All masking materials, tape and debris is collected in waterproof containers and removed from the site. All polish residue is wiped clean. There is no trace of work being done in the area.
