SkylineV35 Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Sad and angry for you SkylineV35 reading this. Hard to tell exactly from the pictures but couldn't you at least try one of the windscreen repair kits ( http://www.ebay.co.u...&ff14=95&ff19=0 ) and possibly some GTechniq G4 glass polish afterwards like 350 Russ suggested? I've seen the glass repair kits being used on some seriously bad chips before and the results are great. Ahh thats the stuff the harlfords guy had for me. I just did a little reading.. http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/archive/index.php/t-5317.html Does the GTechniq G4 need to use a buffer? Im not too confident with these things especially since the guys on the link were saying i could distort the glass?! or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not too confident with these things especially since the guys on the link were saying i could distort the glass?! or something You have to put a lot of heat into the glass to distort it, it's not really that easy to do if you pay attention to what you're doing. If you're using something like cerium oxide to polish out the scuffs it's hard work with a rotary, harder work with a DA and it'll kill you before you make any difference by hand. G4 use; G4a very strong glass cleaner which is easy to use. pour some onto a terry towel or old cotton cloth (only a few ml is needed) and work in quite hard, use some elbow grease for max power and just keep working in for a short while. buff off any remaining product with another terry towel or cotton cloth once done and wonder where the glass went as it's almost invisible!!

Thats the one. Most windows are tinted on the inside so you may be ok, id rather not say if will be fine as i can't be sure. I can't see the tint being on the outside of the glass though. where are you based, i have some of the glass polish left over from when i did mine.

GMballistic Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Thought the second video would give you a good idea of the results you can get using one of the windscreen repair kits. If you need any help you know I'm local but it's all pretty straight forward if you use either of the kits/techniques on the videos as you can see.

Thanks man I think im going to try the techniq cleaner first to see what i have to work with.. then prob use the repair kit on whats left... then if that doesnt do it il try the buffing machine... if by that time if messed it up totally then il see if zed window will fit... then if not il have to look for my actual window =( so gutted though got a tax rebate and was looking to get an exhaust or an uprev or something substancial done.

GMballistic Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Good luck and you never know it might not look that bad once you've had a good chance to try some minor repairs on it. Fingers crossed for you. I'd still spoil yourself and the motor though with the tax rebate if you can ~ don't let some drunken idiot ruin your plans or fun. Just not worth fretting over.

ioneabee Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 sorry to see that saskhi I used cerium oxide on my window when it was marked, with a rotary DA - very similar process to the 1st vid above cerium oxide though, is a very very fine grit/polish I think I have some left if you want to try it works a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Stupid drunken student idiots grrr! As I read your thread I did wonder if it might have been an attempt by some arseole to break into the car - doesn't make any difference to the pain you are feeling but just mention that in case they come back at some point for a second go and whether it is a parking area you can avoid.

I really dont understand why autoglass say it cant be done..or are they just fishing for me to spend on a new window... if thats the case its really sad.

Yeh im thinking that also but I leave no valuables on display. Even if they did smash the window and got in they would be pretty stuck to steal the car.. its not as simple as breaking the steering lock and getting the ignition barrel and turning it from behind. My stupid immobiliser needs a key code. But im still surprised my car alarms sensitivity is so crap.. With the impact of a brick it should have went off. Think i need to invest in a new system. I really do hope it was a random drunk and not a targeted act. But even still its just crazy what goes through these mindless yobs heads.
