Gordon Glass Co. Cerium Oxide Glass Polish — 1 lb Fine Abrasive for Mirrors & Windshields

Gordon Glass Cerium Oxide is a professional-grade polishing compound formulated to restore shine and remove fine scratches from glass, mirrors, and windshields.

This 1 lb container of cerium oxide from Gordon Glass Co. is designed for precision glass finishing when used with a felt polishing wheel or similar polishing pad. The compound’s fine abrasive properties make it a go-to choice for the flat glass and mirror industry, as well as for automotive glass repair and home improvement touch-ups. It’s formulated to produce a high-quality polish on both flat and beveled surfaces while helping to remove scuffs and fine surface marks without aggressive material removal.

How does this polish improve glass appearance?

Gordon Glass Cerium Oxide works as a mild abrasive that gradually smooths micro-imperfections, reducing light-scattering scratches and restoring clarity. When applied correctly with a felt wheel or pad, it leaves a consistent polished finish and improves reflective quality on mirrors and finished glass edges.

• Fine-particle cerium oxide for controlled abrasion
• Produces a clearer, more reflective surface
• Suitable for flat and beveled glass polishing

What surfaces and damage types can it address?

This compound is formulated primarily for glass, including mirrors and automotive windshields. It’s effective on fine scratches, scuff marks, and minor surface blemishes; deeper gouges or cracks require specialized repair techniques beyond polishing.

• Flat glass panels and beveled mirror edges
• Automotive windshields for light scratch removal
• Cosmetic scuffs and surface haze reduction

How should I use Gordon Glass Cerium Oxide safely and effectively?

For best results, mix the cerium oxide into a paste with water, apply to a felt polishing wheel or pad, and operate at moderate speed while keeping the surface cool. Work in small sections, check progress frequently, and finish with a clean buff to remove residue—use eye protection and ventilation as standard shop practice.

• Create a creamy slurry with water for even application
• Use with felt polishing wheel or compatible pad on a rotary or variable-speed polisher
• Polish in overlapping passes, rinse and inspect often

How durable is the finish and will it affect coatings?

The polished finish is long-lasting on untreated glass but may interact with surface coatings, tints, or bonded films. Test on a small inconspicuous area before treating coated or laminated glass to confirm compatibility and avoid compromising factory-applied surfaces.

• Durable polish on bare glass surfaces
• May alter or remove thin coatings or films—test first
• Not intended for structural repair of cracks or deep chips
