Regular cleaning and occasional polishing are vital ways of the maintenance of all glass products, including glass panels of doors and windows. Hence, the homemakers look for some polishing
agents that will be safe for their hands and also need to have long-lasting effects on glass surfaces. Usually, the longevity and glaze of glass objects also depend on the perfect polishing
methods, done with the right substances.
Prime groups of glass polishing materials as per solubility
Generally, glass polishing materials are
available in the form of powder, which can be easily soluble in water. Hence, it is easier for the users to make a paste of desired viscosity by dissolving some powder in water. They need to
follow the instructions provided on the packets of these materials, to get the best results. Since such pastes do not stick to the glass surface, people can simply wipe off with a clean cloth,
leaving the glass items in a sparkling state.
Some polishing materials dissolve in certain specific oils, which are mainly used for industrial purposes. These types of materials are needed for eliminating very tough stains that cannot be removed by water-based
materials. However, it takes more time to clean off these oil-based pastes from glass surfaces, which are sticky like grease and cannot be removed by simple wiping.
Common techniques for using glass polishing agents at home
Polishing chemicals, like cerium oxide, cerium hydroxide, silicon dioxide, and Zirconium salts are available in any local shop. Any of these powdery glass polishing agents should
be mixed with water to form a thin paste. This paste is applied with a Hog’s hair pad or a small polishing wheel over the glass surface. Similarly, minute diamond particles can be fixed on soft
polishing discs, to rub over the glass surface for polishing effect. Large industries use polishing machines for providing an excellent finish to their glass products.
So it is quite easy to apply any of the above-mentioned ways for polishing glass objects, on both domestic and commercial fronts.
