I love detailing and I am always buying new products weekly to try out on my cars. I usually give Chris @ Carzilla a visit at least once a week and spend way too much money on AutoObsessed. So I figure why not share my experiences.
09/27/14 Review: CarPro CeriGlass Polish KIT
This weeks review is a good one. Let's talk about water spots, we've all had them. Usually they aren't something that worry me too much as I've never really encountered severe water spots before. Typically a claybar is all I've ever needed to remove them on paint and glass and they'd come off in a breeze. Now how about when the water is so hard that they create etching?
Yes, I admit I got lazy this time. I washed my car at home and was too lazy to give it a proper drying, water spots and deposits, yes I was expecting them. But I was also planning on doing a full clay and polish the day after. Well the next day I was regretting that decision, because I had the most stubborn water spots I've ever encountered. Clay did not remove them and I began to worry. The water spots this time were bad enough, they caused etching in my paint. Luckily, a medium abrasive polish remedied my paint (will review this product at later date). But the glass!
Clay, vinegar, took the DA to it with various paint polishes, tried my Autoglym glass polish. Nothing. Here is the picture of all the hard water etching after trying all the above:

I thought my glass was ruined. I quickly searched online for products. And I discovered CarPro CeriGlass Polish which Auto Obsessed had on their online store. Now I've used CarPro products before and was very impressed. I lucked out when I found CarZilla carried the kit, so the next morning I went and saw Chris and picked one up. You can use the kit with the included hand held felt polishers or use a machine and a aggressive pad. Chris had no felt machine pads and I was very skeptical of the product being effective by hand. But I told him I'd try it by hand and if it didn't work, i'd come back and grab a microfiber disc to slap on my DA.

Poured the product on the pad and started working it in the glass using firm pressure. I thought it wasn't doing much at first, but after about a minute, I couldn't help but smile after seeing that the etches were actually being removed.
Here is a section of the glass after hand polishing with the applicator, eteches are gone, and it removed any fine scratches leaving the glass flawless:

Very amazed at this product. I plan on getting a larger bottle of this to use with a machine for faster results. :thumbsup:
