The following process is carried out to repair a scratch:
- To start the area that is damaged is inspected and assessed carefully for the best method of treatment. Sometimes it can just be polished but on deeper damage it may have to be ground out first The work area will also be marked and cleaned.
- The scratch is removed from the windscreen by a specially controlled grinding process.
- Then the ground area is carefully repolished to a finer grade of surface finish to restore most of the optical clarity.
- Finally, specialist polish is used to remove all traces of grinding.
- The result is glass in “as-good-as-new condition.”
