Glass, Ceramic & Crystal Polishing Compounds

Glass, ceramic and crystal polishing compounds are fine abrasive powders for removing light marks and restoring clarity.

This category includes Pumice Powder for taking out scratches and marks, and Cerium Oxide in White and Pink grades for the final polish. Both powders are mixed with water into a slurry and applied with a felt, pad or wheel. Hard technical ceramics usually need diamond compounds.

Light marks can often be polished out. Deeper scratches need abrasive work first, and heavy material removal on glass can cause visible distortion.

Polishing Glass Step by Step

  1. Clean the glass and check how deep the marks are.
  2. Remove marks with a pumice slurry on a felt pad.
  3. Clean the glass, then polish with a cerium oxide slurry on a fresh felt.
  4. Keep the surface wet and the pad moving to avoid heat build-up.

Use a separate felt or pad for each powder, and wear a suitable dust mask when handling dry powders.
