• Material: Cerium Oxide
• Package Size: Varies

Product Usage Instructions

part Prepping the Glass and Making Slurry

1. Clean off the glass surface with a preferred glass cleaner and a soft, clean cloth. Remove any dust, dirt, or grime that may cause scratches during the polishing process.
2. Fill a small basin halfway with warm water to soak your polishing pad. Place a small container on your work surface and pour warm water into the basin until it’s filled halfway.
3. Dip your polishing wheel in the warm water to dampen it. If necessary, remove the polishing wheel from your electric drill before soaking it. The pad should be damp but not dripping wet.
4. In a separate plastic bin, mix 2 parts of cerium oxide with 1 part of lukewarm water to create a slurry. Stir the mixture until it has a watery, slightly creamy texture. Adjust the quantities depending on the size of your project.

Part Polishing with the Slurry

1. Ensure that the damp polishing pad is securely attached to your drill.
2. Coat the surface of the pad with the cerium oxide slurry by dipping it into the mixture. Make sure the surface is completely covered, but avoid excessive application.
3. Start polishing the glass surface using the pad and the cerium oxide slurry. Use the slurry while it’s still fresh to achieve optimal results. Keep the container of slurry nearby for easy access.
4. If the slurry starts drying out or doesn’t stick to the glass properly, add more paste to the pad. Dip the pad into the paste again or spritz lukewarm water over it to prevent the slurry from drying completely.
5. After each round of polishing, wipe off any leftover slurry from the glass surface using a clean cloth. Multiple coats of cerium oxide slurry may be required for thorough polishing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q: Can I use this product on any type of glass
  • A: Yes, cerium oxide can be used on various types of glass, including automotive glass, windows, and glass tabletops.
• Q: How long does the polishing process take
  • A: The time required for polishing depends on the size of the project and the severity of scratches. It is recommended to work in small sections and take breaks as needed.
• Q: Is this product safe to use
  • A: The cerium oxide is generally safe to use. However, it is recommended to wear protective gloves and goggles during the polishing process to avoid any potential irritation or contact with eyes.

Prepping the Glass and Making Slurry

Clean off the glass surface with cleaner before you start polishing.

Wipe down the glass with your preferred glass cleaner and a soft, clean cloth. Get rid of any dust, dirt, or grime that’s sticking to the glass, as these can create more scratches during the polishing process.

1. As a precaution, double-check that the glass surface is completely clean before you start polishing it.

**Fill a small basin halfway with warm water so you can soak your pad
**

Set a small 500ML container on your work surface. Pour warm water into the basin until It’s filled halfway. The size of the container really depends on the size of your polishing pad and the size of the project that you’re polishing

Dip your polishing wheel in the warm water.

Grab a new polishing wheel, or remove it from your electric drill if it’s still attached. Soak the surface in warm water, which will make it easier to apply the cerium oxide slurry to the glass.

The pad only needs to be damp, but not dripping wet

Mix 2 parts of cerium oxide with 1 part of lukewarm water in a second plastic bin

Pour several spoonfuls of cerium oxide powder into another empty plastic bin. Stir a smaller amount of lukewarm water into the bin to mix the powder until it has a watery, slightly creamy texture. You may want to make a large batch of slurry if you’re polishing something big, like a glass tabletop. The slurry should have a paint-like consistency, which helps it adhere to the pad and glass.

Polishing with the Slurry

Connect the damp polishing pad to your drill.

Check that the pad is securely attached to the electric drill so it doesn’t fall off when you start polishing your glass. For extra guidance, read the instructions with your polishing pad or drill.

Coat the surface of your pad with the cerium oxide mixture.

Hold the drill and dip the pad into the cerium oxide slurry. Don’t cake the pad with the mixture, but check that the surface is completely covered. You can always dip your pad into more cerium oxide later.

Polish your glass with the pad once you’ve made the slurry.

Use the cerium oxide sooner rather than later, so the mixture doesn’t dry out. Keep the container of cerium oxide slurry near your polishing project for easy access

Add more paste to the pad if it dries out.

Dip your pad into the paste again if the slurry doesn’t seem to be sticking to the glass and polish properly. If the slurry starts drying on your glass, spritz over it with lukewarm water. The slurry can cause long-term damage to your glass if it dries completely

Wipe off the slurry after you’ve polished the surface.

Take a clean cloth and get rid of any leftover slurry on the glass. You’ll probably use multiple coats of cerium oxide slurry to polish your glass project, so you’ll need to wipe off the leftover mixture after each round of polishing.
