Can wool polishing pads remove small scratches or stains from glass surfaces?

Wool polishing pads, with their unique material properties, show significant advantages in removing small scratches and stains from glass surfaces. Wool fiber is highly elastic and absorbent, which allows it to penetrate deeper into the smallest scratches or stains while providing a gentle but effective abrasive action. In addition, the softness of wool helps reduce additional pressure on the glass surface during the polishing process, reducing the risk of secondary damage.
First of all, it is necessary to conduct a preliminary assessment of the scratches on the glass surface to understand the depth, width and distribution of the scratches in order to choose the appropriate polishing method and tools. Make sure your work area is clean, tidy, and have the necessary wool polishing pads, appropriate polish, water or detergent, and necessary protective gear (such as gloves, goggles, etc.) ready. Apply an appropriate amount of polishing agent evenly on the wool polishing pad, and pay attention to controlling the amount to avoid too much resulting in waste or too little affecting the effect. Gently place the wool polishing pad coated with polishing agent on the scratch, and rotate or move it linearly with appropriate strength and speed so that the polishing agent can fully act on the scratch. During the polishing process, uniform pressure and speed should be maintained to avoid over-polishing a certain area.
After polishing for a while, stop and check the scratch removal. If the scratches have been significantly reduced or disappeared, you can continue to polish other areas; if the effect is not satisfactory, you may need to adjust the type, concentration, or polishing method of the polish. After removing scratches, you can use clean water or an appropriate detergent to clean the glass surface to remove residual polish and stains. Finally, dry the glass surface with a clean cloth to restore its shine.
For stains on glass surfaces, the effectiveness of wool polishing pads also depends on the type and nature of the stain. For water-based stains, such as rain marks or minor water stains, a wool polishing pad can usually be easily removed with water or a mild detergent. However, more difficult-to-remove stains, such as oil stains, pigments, or offset printing, may require the use of specialized cleaners or solvents and may require a longer polishing process.
When using a wool polishing pad to remove scratches or stains, be sure to follow the product instructions and manufacturer's recommendations. Avoid polishing on a glass surface that is too hot or cold to prevent cracking of the glass or poor polishing results. Regularly check the wear of wool polishing pads and replace seriously worn pads in time to ensure polishing results. For important or expensive glass products (such as antique glass, artwork, etc.), it is recommended to polish them under the guidance of professionals.
