I will never be able to settle for just one nice car because polishing, cleaning, and kicking tires are not where I get my kicks. I have to be racing, driving, and building stuff.

I used to drive my 69 RR 440-4speed car in the winter with big studded truck tires on the rear in the winter. They sure threw sparks good.

I just painted my 50's Coronet with Summit single stage this summer and I'm pretty happy with it. A gallon plus activator is around $150-170 bucks depending on color. I paid way more for the epoxy primer. With paint + primer + various stuff I got it done for around $1k in materials and around a...

I built a bunch of stick-framed condos and apartment buildings where the first floor was concrete parking and the rest framed. Nothing like walking the walls and laying out trusses 4 stories up. I don't think OSHA allows that kind of stuff anymore.... which is good. Helped a buddy contractor...

I also would try and find something else. But, if you wanna do it, you should separate the top and bottom by prying up the fold on the edge (carefully) with a chisel. This is a lot of work and you have to be very very careful or you will spend more time on this than you would imagine. I have...

I used to work as a Framer walking a 2 x 4 top plate with a 8 foot fall on one side, and 4 stories on the other. Now I get vertigo standing up.

Yup, this is the real world for contractors. Every contractor knows it.

And a bent one at that :lol: Back in the day the local Mopar yard here used to have hundreds of them. Fresh off cop cars, shiny and black, no rust....... $12.50 each.

Sure its possible. You have seen it. What are you questioning? If you like it, just do it.

May I ask... did you do the entire glass surface or just spot polishing? Can you tell at all where you polished and where you did not?

I can Google search as good as anyone, but as we all know product makers claims cannot usually be taken for their word. As stated in my question, I'm looking for feedback from somebody who has actually done it and what product was used.

To clarify, these are wiper BLADE scratches. Very light, visible, ... you can't feel them. You really can't even see them from inside the car and don't obstruct vision from the inside but are visible looking at the car from the outside.

I'm looking to save a windshield that has wiper scratches in it. I will also try it on a wagon back glass if it goes well. Looking around, it seems like it is possible to polish these out. I'm wondering if anyone here has done it before, is their is a kit or product you used that did the job...

Wow, so you CAN find a needle in a haystack. Just search for 8 years! Please tell us more about how you came to find it. Inquiring minds want to know :thumbsup:

Brake shoes too wide? I bought a 61 Chrysler once where a professional brake job had just been done before the sale. The shoes installed into the drums were too wide, so in front the tech just backed off the spindle nut until it would spin, and in the rear they just left the lugs barely tight...
