We also repair glass that has been affected by acid etched and graffiti on store fronts on commercial properties. We are experts in polishing those impossible-to-clean hard water stains on your shower doors. We specialize in glass restoration, transforming your glass back to its new condition and make it look as good as it did on day one.
Who are we?
My name is Pedro Diaz, and I’m the owner of The Glass Scratch Remover of Miami. I have been working in every facet of the glass industry for over a decade. Early on, I realized that when a panel of glass was scratched, regardless of size, it was almost always discarded and completely replaced. Expensive glass shower doors with watermarks or stains were being thrown away, same was the case of glass windows with scratches or damaged sliding glass doors. This seemed wasteful, nor did it guarantee that the same panel wasn't going to be scratched again in the future. As a result of seeing so many pieces of glass wasted in the process, I embarked on a journey to learn how to remove scratches from glass and help so many disappointed owners and to save them money. Over the following 7 years, my team and I have perfected the art of glass scratch removal. During this time, our hard work and dedication to our clients has made us the leaders in the marketplace. We truly work hard every day to ensure that our clients are satisfied, and we will not rest until the job is done right.
When is it worth repairing glass scratches?
Simply put, a glass panel should be repaired when it's more expensive to replace it. This happens the majority of the time a scratch is discovered. Some very light scratches can be buffed away using a product called cerium oxide, but if the scratch is deep enough that it can be felt by running your finger nail across it and getting it caught in the scratch, you should only use professional removal. Experts like us have the necessary tools and experience to completely remove scratches from the glass surface, leaving little or no distortion. All it takes is a phone call, and after a quick site visit you should have an accurate estimate for a professional and efficient glass repair.
Tools of our trade?
We use a myriad of tools and advanced compounds to polish and repair glass. Special attachments and buffing pads of varying textures and degrees of roughness allow for a custom system that is flexible enough to address any level of repair. Our system of glass scratch repair treatment typically progresses through four levels of abrasive pads, specially designed to perform microscopic cutting through glass. Upon the initial scratch removal using these pads, a faint haze remains on the surface. We then use a cerium oxide compound to leaving you with a crystal clear glass as the moment it shipped from the factory.
Major glass scratches repairs is our specialty, and our meticulous process and quality control standards are the solution to all your glass needs.

I have watched tons of videos about how to clean calcium and how to restore a glass and this is the most professional video I have seen. I toke a chance an I called Pedro to Miami from California on a Sunday thinking He wouldn't answer my phone call. And surprised! He did and He responded all of my questions in a very professional way! Thank you so much for your valuable time. Greetings from California!
Youre a good man. Thanks for posting this! All the best with your business my good sir!
Great to see a pro at work.
What an awesome guy, just reached out over some water spots and he was super helpful! Thanks again!
Do you happen to know where I can find that same service in Seattle Washington?
This insight helped a lot, my current method is about to get a boost in results ! Much respect and thank you for taking the time to chat with me , much respect from Trinidad in 2022 ! 💯👊
Any time! It was my pleasure. Best of luck!
Thank you Pedro! Nice work and video! Where i can buy this products?
You didn't miss to explain a bit, you're very good at it!
What about the types of pads he was using? Or the exact model of the electric buffer?
I have watched a lot of videos, only and only Pedro has demonstrated how to remove scratches from glass. Open
Thanks Mate! If you have any questions about the process let me know. Take care.
Thank you, Pedro! Awesome job! --Brian
Excellent work, Pedro, but I worry for your health. The glass dust is carcincogenic, please use a suitable mask. Although you can't see the dust in this video, if you set up a light you'll see massive clouds of it as it flies off the glass into your face. Again, your work is great, but protect yourself.
Yes, always wear a mask. This time I did it so you could hear me clearly.
In eyes of gfmcc everything is carcinogenic, air he breaths, water he drinks, food he eats, That will save him from cancer and he will die from stroke, as other healthy people.
@VividClearGlass im in miami...are you still available???
Nice job! Very therapeutic to watch!!!
Vote for Pedro!
What a pro
This brother know his stuff
Thank you Pedro for providing CZcams with this very professional video. I wish you were located in the Los Angeles area! I know you travel, but the cost of travel is not practical for little jobs like shower doors or windshields. Just saying.
Fantastic pedro😊❤👍🇬🇧beautifully done. Thank you so much for your time and effort my friend
Check out our newest video. Scratches advanced!! Thank you 😊
Good job.CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Thank you Pedro, I've subscribed!
These guys are amazing, don’t be afraid to give them a call if you have any questions. They will go out of their way to help you. Very happy with experience!
Thanks Daniel! Good talking to you. Let us know if you need anything else.
Super! Thank you Pedro, such an art of high RPM glass polishing.
Are you polishing at 4,500 rpm? I believe it is not a variable speed tool.
super professional job and explanation
Thank you very much Pedro!👍🏻👍🏻
Excellent work, I love it.
Nice work Pedro! Just wondering where you get your medium, fine, polish and backing supplies from, also what is the model of the drill your using? Thanks man. Leo from Canada
Outstanding 🙌🏼
Thanks for the video Pedro! What tool do you use? Could you use a random orbit sander or a standard electric drill?
This is outstanding. Great work! Very impressive.
Best video around town
Great video. Thank you!
Hope we can find that in philippines my mom worried of our sliding doors ..thanks for your very helpful video ..we have hope for this
what is the dollar cost for the work you just demonstrate on this video?
and very professional way of illustration, Thank you Pedro!!!!!!
Great video! Thanks!
That’s professional work right there..!!
Consider me impressed.
Any tips on the best method (s) to remove hard water/mineral deposits from shower doors?
I need to install a whole house water softener at some point but I also need to restore the glass.
Again, great video..!
Pedro that was a very informative video. It is fantastic to see how one can properly restore something without needing to go and purchase a brand new item. Is the process that like with auto body restorations? Start with a 100 - 300 grit and then work your way up to a 1500 grit? Awesome video Thank you!
Xienfrostborne,
Thanks for watching!!
Yes it is similar to auto restoration.
The difference is the pads we use are made specifically for glass. Long lasting and don't further damage the glass.
Thank you for watching!!
Xienfrostborne yes
Great work
so, this is what DAVID BLAINE has been up to. Making glass scratches disappear. MAGICCCCCC!!!
Cool video, I would like to polish glass in my fish tank. What is the brand of polisher you're using?
Would be helpful if you say where to get the pads and what the pads you are using are. Also some close up shots would be helpful.
Nice job. I’m glass scratches polishing technician.
What grits you using? I have a few big aquariums that need it.. of course practice on spare glass I have
Hi Pedro,
What can I use for lighter scratches and residuals concrete stain
Thank you
Can I polish an older porcelein sink with the ceramide compound get rid of scratches in the porcelein and give it a smoother surface? where do you buy your products? thanks
Very informative
hi, great job. can you tell me the grit paper you used pls?
Great video Does this work on colored glass tho?
Hello Pedro. I am reaching out from a different country in Europe. Here we do not have any possibility to bring the glass to a service or even ask a crew to come in and fix window scratches. Pretty messed up. I had a cleaning crew come after the renovation and they ruined every single window in my apt. I am trying to order products on amazon to have them shipped and I will have to DIY myself. Can you share the product links or at least the grades of the disks you used? Thanks it would be a lifesaver
What pads are you using and what solution
Thanks!
I saw a video where they use cutting coumpound,with hand cleaner that has pumice in it.And it works great for removing scratches.The deep ones is another story.
Sweet Project Cars. Yes, I saw it too.
Vote for Pedro!
Could you please tell me what kind of sander that is your using?
Pedro for President...
MrMikey1224 that's a good one!
Are the polishing pads Mirka Abralon? or some other silicon carbide?
excellent video and impressive results thanks for sharing. Wish you were closer to my area.
greenrumour we travel
Sir: Yours dealers available in Kerala State?
Please reply
Where did he get the pads and.the paste???? It's no fing good if you don't tell us were to get the stuff. I would love to get repair tools.
would that also work on tampered glass?
Can I use the oxide for small phone scratches?
Just curious how did the glass get such a deep scratch? Tempered glass is pretty hard.
What about ocular glasses? I would really like to see you put your skills to the test...
Do you restore glass headlight lenses?
BRILLIANT.
Excellent and interesting video. For the sake of your health you should wear a particle mask when grinding glass...
I have a 2006 Old Crown Vic that it appears the wipers wasn't changed early enough and/or was used in a dry sweep across the windshield too many times, is there someone in NORTH Central Florida that can do this?
Great video.. what grit pads are being used prior to the Cerium Oxide? Thanks
YEA, THATS MY QUESTION
Yea me too
@@JesuslivesFE me too
thanks very good vid....
wich kit is better for car glass polishing. (scratches also)
what kind of pads are you using on this video? can you please give a clue?
How about some explanation about the pad you used.
Did you ever find this out?
Unfortunately it's not a how to video. It's a "this is what we do and we're not giving up our trade secrets for nothing, give us a call and we'll do it for a price" video.
@@ArcanePath360 Go to CRlaurence.com maybe you can find what you're looking for
can this process used to remove iphone glass scratches ?
Please would be possible to remove light scratches from gorilla glass or should I give up? Unfortunately I'm not from you country.
hey there are so many grits of cerium oxide, 2.5 seems to be what s in kits, but you can find down to 0.2 microns, what would you recommend to get normal clarity in the glass. Also have heard some use diamond powder it can also be found in 0.1micron grit but id imagine its a bit hard for glass.
We use a medium to fine grit.
Most of the work is down using the polishing pads.
The finer the grit the clearer the polish. It's all about patience.
Vivid Clear Glass which polishing pads do you use?
Thanks, Super İmage!
thank you
Good job, but unfortunately we saw only the process but no mention at all regarding the , sanding paper grads, and brushes types !!
Hi I’m in the Uk , patio doors all fine scratches , love to know what compound to use , and grades of pads in order of use .
Speed settings ? Thanks so much Neil
Hi Lorraine, did you manage to do this yourself? I’m also looking to remove fine scratches from patio doors. Thanks!
@@chriscooper6337 I am also looking for the grits and more details as I am in Georgia in Europe and trying to diy
porque usas el pad grande habiendo de 2 o 3 pulgadas para no hacer la nube grande
Great work and results, but very worried for you Pedro, without some sort of mask you are almost certain to develop Silicosis if you do this with any regularity as you have demonstrated.
Thank you for your comment. We are conscious of the hazards of working with glass in this aspect. Solely and only for the ease of communicating to our audience in this case did I work without my mask on. It is of the utmost importance to be compliant with all PPE standards in your industry. Any time we work doing these types of repairs our staff is required to wear the appropriate respiratory protection.
Again - Thank you for your concern and let us know if you have any other questions about what we do.
Whats the point of the marker when you circle the hazy area with tape?
I wish that you were more descriptive about the abrasive of each pad that you were using.
We have an updated library. Check it out!!😎
@@VividClearGlass I will, thank you.
Hi Pedro,
Maybe a question that comes back over and over again ... What about glasses ? Which are not made of glass but plastic. Does this final polish would do with my dremel and the fabric fiber head ?
Thanks in advance
Daniel
Daniel Beaufils this compound will not work on plastic. You need a different type specifically for the material your glasses are made of. Also you have to slow the rpm down and use water at the same time to not melt or burn the material.
Taking a scratch out of glasses will change the prescription of the glasses slightly.
What is the fee for this exact job?
What are the grits you used? Looks amazing.
180 360 500 1000 , cerium oxide
HI Sir! What kind of pads do you use? can you specifically enumerate the kind of pads you use on this video...Thanks
Lol he loved your comment but didn't answer your question 🤷🏻♀️
Pads and which drill???
Highly interested too! I work with Mirka tehcnologies, and stuff, but these pads are new for me. Could you please name the company, or a manufacturer of the pads? I won’t bother your earnings in Miami hahah!
@@davido.4072definitely looks like a makita vertical polisher... perhaps I Gv5000 or Gv5010 model 🤔 .
Do you happen to know where I can find that same service in Seattle Washington?
Hi, unfortunately I don't know anyone out there. We do travel. You can call me for details.
Thanks for the comment.
Can this be done to a fishtank?
Where could I get those glass mesh pads from? Im from Australia and cant find them anywhere
Hi I’m glass scratch removal technician. Can I get glass scratch removal job there?
Does this work for a car windshield?
What grit or the pads
My friend; What is the mixing ratio of cerium oxide and water? Can you please tell? Thanks
By like your ? With no answer, means
NO. By the way I find this rude and insulting.
@@lgstar3363 What's so insulting about politely asking a question? The manner in which you've responded - and uninvited - is very rude Sait in itself.
can I do it
that with mar car also
It looks like the dust stay on the glass every time when you remove the pad of the glass,how did you managed to not get dust flying around?😀
I would imagine heat and friction keeps it too the glass and his speed is just right so it's not going beyond the pad.
Sir Available tools kit ?
Nice to see that you wear safety glasses.lol
I dont have deep scratches on my sliding glass door. I made the mistake of using a pumice to remove spots of water stains on my rental's bathroom sliding glass door :( Now I have to fix it and there are no companies that do this service! Since I cant put my mail on the scratches, would I be ok just using Cerium oxide and polish pad with my drill? Any help would be appreciated.
Feel free to call me. 305-773-5889
I liked your video but you left out one important part close-ups of the scratch during different parts of the sanding and polishing process
the\
Hi my window my mazda 5 . can you plays help to learn and what produceI am struggler wi th comrenphend give the name exactly and o will.. thank
Scratches with Scotchgard pad circular motions how do you take that out?
Yes that can be polished out.
never understood how people don't shine light through the actual glass to truly understand the before and after...
I know exactly why they don't. Looking up into the light reveals the flaws in the repair. They don't want you to see this. Almost every scratch removal video only shows a flash of the "after" for a couple of seconds. Most repairs are left with swirls/haze/distortion
My car has a long scratch in the windshield , where can I go to repair it?
Hey Yuri, call the number on my website so we can connect.
Nice job! Would whitening toothpaste work in place of the Cerium Oxide (sp?)
Nope
Hey Pedro will this process work for automotive glass and tempered glass? Thanks for the video man!
irzoro yes, it works on both. The panel in the video is tempered. We have a video on a windshield if you lookup vividclearglass too.

Hi Pedro, my me scratches a double pane glass by Andersen, a bit thin glass around 3mm and some scratches can be felt with the tip of my nail. Problem is no technical support from the Andersen Philippine distributor which I really hate because they are selling it here and no idea at all on how to trouble shoot. I really wish you have a country branch here and save many from spending including me because it's my liability as a contractor of the canopy and my men did damaged the glass panel. Can you email me the paticular grits of the sanding discs?. I have the cerium already.thanks
I'm talking about my men who did the damage. My email triassic_jeck@tahoo.com
If you happen to planning to visit our country, please email me your schedule and I hope we can make have something to solve the problem. Thanks
@@jeckreyes789 you never said what country you live in.
