Cool Eastwood Polisher Kit

I was very pleased with the results ... it's takes awhile (patience) but well worth it The directions say to make a paste consistency of toothpaste .... I used a touch more water and just kept the polisher moving and kept it watery and don''t let it dry. It's only a 3" polishing pad that I put on my 7" polisher.

And since I was polishing in the tub I kept rinsing with water to check the results... slow speed on the polisher = 600rpm, just go slow and keep it moist.

Maybe throw out the part number you tried and liked?
Were your scratches deep enough to feel with your fingernail? I have some pretty deep ones in my original door windows that a glass guy told me 15 years ago were a lost cause.
I didn't have any deep scratches so I got the 12525 kit, they have a courser kit that is made for the deeper scratches #12526

This will get you to the Pro Polishing kit I used.

Based on the reviews from Eastwoods site, it appears the deep scratch kit does not work well on tempered glass. All the glass is tempered with the exception being the windshield. None the less, I'll still try it out.

Yeah I didn't read the writeup on the deep scratch kit cuz I didn't need it. I have to replace the front windshield and back glass, I would like to be able to see out of them ... know what I mean?

I might go with Auto City Classic's over sized glass to get rid of the trim and have it more like today"s cars, we'll wait and see.

Glad to see you made progress on the front end.

What's wrong with your factory rear glass? Who wants to look back anyways, though.

Thumbs up Update 3/14

Nothing too exciting ... my tool for the window nut came in today ... so I figured I'd get the quarter windows polished Why wait?





Came out really nice ... wrapped them up and put them away.

Thanks for looking ... should be welding this weekend, AND it's Spring Break -NO SCHOOL next week just homework!

Thumbs up Finally a side cowl

welded in, now that's a good Camaro day.

Got the passenger side cowl welded in ... little heat, some hammer/ dolly work, and some more heat and she's all good. I'm gonna wait on the outer shell til I can get some undercoat or Lizard Skin on the inside.


Welded and hammered in


So that's what it will look like ... almost forgot

The driver's side will take more work cuz the stamping is off and I have to fill where I sliced to make it fit correctly .... but I will get on it tomorrow fer sure. If the temp is good tomorrow I may spray some epoxy ... we'll see!

Thanks for looking ....
