As mentioned earlier, we received Legendary Auto Interiors "New" line of upholstery for 2nd Gen Camaros and Firebirds so we finally are starting to prepare the interior for the Trans Am. Rears are done.

Well our glass guy came back out to reinstall our glass.

We had him remove the windshield for replacement and the rear glass for restoration.

We buffed the heated rear glass with Cerium Oxide to save it and it turned out great.

Shown below is the before, the buffing process and the after.

No we did NOT! Would advise against that.

Most of the problems with the glass was on the outside due to getting sandblasted in desert winds.

It came out great, you did an awesome job. Do you keep it wet with the Cerium Oxide or do you buff until its almost all gone?
