Hey folks, first time posting in here.
Its being some time since Ceriglass was launched, but still wanted to share my experience and results using this awesome product.

Im a firm believer in testing EVERYTHING i have the pleasure to offer my clients. I have a 1997 VW Golf GTI wich happens to be my daily driver and only car at the time. Perfect Guinnea pig for this, and most of future reviews to come. Its a 17 year old car, wich i try to keep and mantain as best as i can, and as much as time allows.
Will try to find a way to name some car parts as best as my english allows, so bear with me please :)
I started to notice some marks on both front windows recently. Upon closer inspection, looks like the felt guide inbetween the rubber gasket wich holds the window in the lever guide was done, perhaps was just dirt wich was causing the scratches?, havent found the time to take it apart and inspect it closer.
This is what it looks like from afar. Damage is pretty evident:

I started claying the drivers side, removing as much bonded contaminants as i could. Next step was masking the rubber gaskets and other parts prone to damage.
Once the glass was ready, i started priming the CarPro glass pad, applying an X in the center, using my finger to distribute the product evenly:

I divided the glass in half, trying to work as slow and safe as possible as time allowed. Used speed 3 on the PC to distribute the product onto the surface. Increased the speed to 5.5 and used medium pressure, product started to dry after 2 minutes.
This is one thing i love about Ceriglass, one little water spray was all i needed to "re activate" the product, increasing its working time.

After 4 or 5 passes, i cleaned the surface and inspected my results. Not bad for such a small effort, but still not getting there!

Cant recall exactly, but maybe 2 or 3 additional passes got me the results i wanted. 50/50 shot:

And the Money shot!

Time was rushing and was quickly out of light, sorry guys, no finished pictures but hopefully youll get the idea.
I have no previous experience with any other type of glass polish and this was my first time doing it. All in all, i highly regard Ceriglass: Its really easy to use, saves $$$ VS buying a new glass (or having someone else correcting it), fairly priced and gets the job done.
Thanks for reading!
