Removing Scratches from Quartz Glass – Detailed Guide for Perfect Polishing
The process of removing scratches from quartz glass requires a careful approach and the right materials. Using diamond paste with varying grit sizes is key to gradually smoothing out the scratch. Here’s a step-by-step guide to achieving the best results.
Step 1: Initial Scratch Removal
The first step is to address the scratch itself. For effective removal, start with a coarser diamond paste, such as:
- 20/14 micron
- 14/10 micron
These grits help remove the bulk of the scratch and level the surrounding area. For faster and more efficient results, we recommend using our Increased Concentration diamond paste.
How to apply:
- Apply a small amount of paste to a soft cloth or polishing pad.
- Gently rub in circular motions over the scratched area.
- Focus on the scratch while applying minimal pressure to the surrounding glass to avoid further damage.
Step 2: Fine Polishing
After addressing the main scratch, switch to a finer diamond paste to blend the edges with the rest of the surface. Use:
- 10/7 micron
- 7/5 micron
Apply a small amount of our Increased Concentration paste to enhance the polishing process and restore clarity.
How to apply:
- Work in light circular motions.
- Apply light, consistent pressure.
- Continue until the scratch blends smoothly into the surrounding area.
Step 3: Finishing Polish
Use the finest diamond paste for a seamless, mirror-like finish. Recommended grits include:
- 3/2 micron
- 2/1 micron
- 1/0 micron
At this stage, polish not only the scratch but also the surrounding glass to eliminate visible marks or inconsistencies. Our Increased Concentration diamond paste ensures optimal refinement and a flawless surface.
How to apply:
- Apply the paste lightly with a clean cloth or pad.
- Work in gentle circular motions.
- Polish beyond the edges of the scratch for an even finish.
Step 4: Final Touches
After polishing, inspect the surface closely. If any imperfections remain:
- Repeat the process using fine and ultra-fine diamond paste.
- Apply a protective coating to preserve the polished glass surface.
For best results, use our Increased Concentration diamond paste throughout the entire process to ensure maximum efficiency and brilliance.
Why This Process Works
Diamond paste is ideal for scratch removal on quartz glass because of the superior hardness and precision of diamond particles. Benefits include:
- Effective material removal due to the hardness of diamonds
- Even surface refinement through gradual grit progression
- Faster results with our Increased Concentration formula
Conclusion
Removing scratches from quartz glass requires patience, precision, and the right materials. By using the correct grit sizes of diamond paste and our Increased Concentration formula, you can restore the surface to its original clarity and shine. Whether it’s a scratched watch crystal, countertop, or any quartz glass surface, this method ensures smooth, consistent, and professional results.
