3M Glass Polishing Compound, 60150

I was a bit skeptical if this product was going to work for me at first. I had scratches from my windshield wipers that have been there for years, and I just couldn’t seem to get rid of them. I was about to accept that replacing the windshield was my only option, but wanted to give his glass polish a chance since I would prefer keeping my windshield original. From reading the reviews, I knew that I had to prepare myself for about 2-4 hours of polishing to get results. It was time consuming, but I am very happy with the outcome! I still have a little work to do, but it cleared things up amazingly!

I have a number of vintage cars from the early 1950's and one, a 1952 Arnolt MG has all original glass. With only 63 Coupes built sourcing new glass is impossible while having the glass custom made in extremely expensive. The car recently completed a concours level restoration and the glass, especially the windshield greatly detracted from the appearance. I considered having a windshield made but removing the old one is not an easy task due to the archaic way in which it is mounted requiring the headliner to be removed and stainless steel trim. I tried to polish the glass using a number of glass polishes include that from Griot's garage which received great reviews. After using an entire bottle of glass polish the only effect was that it removed the haziness but had little impact on the fine scratches and shallow chips. It took well over an hour to do so. I just tested the 3M product on a small section of the windshield and after 10 minutes it looks virtually new. All of the fine scratches are gone and the polishing even removed most of the deep scratches along the trim which where caused by wet sanding the aluminum trim. I am sure after a second pass they too will be gone.A word of caution, this is a product for "professionals" hence no instructions which s the case for all 3M's line of professional polishes. (By the way, their line of "perfect-it" products for paint surfaces are outstanding.). When polishing glass it is important to keep the surface wet using a spray bottle with water to mist the surface or the polishing pad. If you use a high torque buffing wheel and do not do this, the heat generated can crack the glass. WIth this product there is no need for a high torque wheel as a standard dual action buffer wit the right pad works fine but will take a bit more time.

Results were not as impressive, as I expected, good product, thanks

Mine was delivered damaged. From whatever I could salvage it worked out some very light scratches but very slowly. I then switched to a cerium oxide powder, mixed my own slurry and removed all of the scathes much faster. For the price they're selling it for you could buy a ton of cerium oxide and pads and still have some money left, IMO.

Used on a windshield for a boat that is 20yrs old and was parked in the sun on salt water the entire time. Glass was micro pitted and looked like it had permanent water stains but it was etched from the years of elements and could not be cleaned. Glass was clear and not yellowed and was still good enough to see through for day time driving, but night was an issue. Tested in a small area to make sure there wouldn't be any strange hazing or light diffusion and it looked perfect. So I polished the entire glass and results were amazing, but not perfect. I did another pass and took more time and now the surface looks nearly perfect. Surface is almost like new. Only problem now is I can clearly see all the staining on the inside of the windshield which is not easy to get to with a polisher. So I'll be testing that by hand next hoping for perfect glass on both sides.

The product was applied with the recommended proper equipment at the local body shop I use and it didn’t work so a waste of $73

This worked great when nothing else did.

I purchased this glass compound to remove scratches left from a missing wiper blade on my 2016 Audi windshield.after trying 2 different "glass polishes" i said why not give it one more shot, i'm soo glad i did!!I used this compound with my griots garage 6" polisher and meguiars 6" glass polishing pads.at first it looked like it wasn't gonna come out like the other polishes i used before but i was determined to get the scratches out.. i bumped up the speed on the polisher and did numerous cross hatch patterns over the scratches. i then started to see some results.. it took me about 2 hours of polishing but the scratches came out!! I then continued and did the whole windshield.. my windshield looks better now than when i bought the car brand new!! i'll recommend this product to my mother or anyone who asks me or i hear has scratches on glass.. the trick is patience and a good polishing machine and i know the scratches will come out.. i never write reviews on anything i buy but this performed so well i just had to write one.. great job 3M, Great job!!!
