Diamondite® Glasswork System Kit for Hand Application |
Glasswork Clay
Diamondite Glasswork Clay is an elastic clay resin that cleans out the microscopic pores of glass to leave it incredibly slick and thoroughly clean. Glasswork clay cleans by gliding over the glass on a bed of lubricant and grabbing contaminants that are bonded to the glass. Remove bugs, overspray, tar, oil, tree sap mist, rail dust, and environmental pollutants. Diamondite Glaswork Clay even removes mineral deposits that haven’t yet etched the glass. Clayed glass will be incredibly smooth, clear, and clean.
Glasswork Clay Lubricant
Clay is the safest way to clean when used with a proper lubricant. Diamondite Glasswork Clay Lubricant is a wetter-than-water lubricant spray that allows Glasswork Clay to glide along the glass, collecting debris, without scratching the glass. Overspray of this water-based lubricant will not harm other automotive surfaces.
Glasswork Restorer
You may notice that water spots are still present on the glass. This is because water spots are caused by mineral deposits, which actually etch the glass. Even if the clay removes mineral deposits, it cannot undo the etching. Diamondite Glasswork Restorer can. This cleansing polish removes water spots, very fine scratches and etchings, and improves the clarity of automotive glass. Like a fine jeweler’s rouge immersed in a lubricating lotion, Glasswork Restorer gently polishes out fine imperfections in the glass to restore its factory-new clarity. This light polish will not scratch or distort glass.
Glasswork Shield
Protect your glass now and in the future with Diamondite Glasswork Shield. This polymer glass sealant is designed specifically to fill the microscopic ridges and valleys of glass. This perfectly clear coating repels dirt and moisture to maintain optimal visibility. Oily deposits would normally cause the windshield to become a hazy mess in the rain, but Glasswork Shield repels both oil and water to keep the windshield clear when it matters most. The slick coating also stops the chattering of windshield wiper blades and resists the bonding of bugs and bird droppings to the glass to make future cleaning easier. Glasswork Shield is a water-based polymer sealant that dries clear and streak-free when applied to clean glass.
Before you begin…
Clean the glass with Diamondite Perfect Vision Glass Cleaner and a soft microfiber towel. Pre-cleaning will prevent the Glasswork Cleansing Clay from becoming too soiled to perform properly.
Step 1 – Glasswork Cleansing Clay & Clay Lubricant
Mist the glass generously with Diamondite Glasswork Clay Lubricant. If doing a windshield, work in quarter sections. You may wish to cut the clay bar in half and reserve the other half in case you drop the clay you’re working with. Spread the clay flat over your fingers to give yourself an adequate work surface. Glide the clay back and forth over the wet glass. You will feel the clay grab. This indicates that it has encountered contamination on the glass. Continue to rub the clay bar back and forth until it glides freely. Use a microfiber towel to wipe the glass dry. If any clay residue remains on the glass, mist it with Diamondite Glasswork Clay Lubricant and wipe the glass clean. Continue claying until you’ve cleaned all the glass.
If you performed the bag test again, you’d feel that the glass is slick and smooth with no bumps or grit.
Step 2 – Glasswork Restorer & Zip Sponge
Apply a bead of Glasswork Restorer around the edge of the Zip Sponge. Use the Zip Sponge to spread the polish over a small area. Rub back and forth using light pressure. You may feel or hear the sponge grabbing the surface. This indicates that the honeycomb pores of the Zip Sponge are separating the mineral deposits from the glass. When Glasswork Restorer starts to dry, buff away the haze with the included Microfiber Waffle Weave Glass Towel. Continue in this manner until you’ve polished away all water spots.
Step 3 – Glasswork Shield
Mist the glass with DIamondite Glasswork Shield and use the folded microfiber towel to spread the sealant over the glass. Flip the towel to a dry side and buff the glass to a bright shine. Allow Glasswork Shield to cure for an hour and then apply another coat if desired.
The Diamondite Glasswork Kit for Hand Application treats the glass on 3-4 vehicles.
For regular cleaning, use Diamondite Perfect Vision Glass Cleaner in the aerosol or pump spray.
