Tip for shower glass..

[Mikey P]

besides Magic Al's Glass & Metal Magic.. http://groundfloor.org/product/product_ ... e196ec4796

Get some 000 steel wool and a Makita.

Have a shower door guy remove them and the fixtures (or work in a cramped stinky stall, your choice and go to town.

Damn near perfect and no matter what, you can charge (sub the removal and install) half of what new glass cost if their not hose cheap ass Home Depot $125 kits.

Let the polish dry a tad then get the bulk of it off with white cotton towels then buff to perfection with Micro Fiber towels.

before..

after..

if you cant find the discs or dont own a grinder you can do it by hand whit regular Steel Wool "pads" too..


far less mess but takes a lot longer.

I have a few bottles of that glass magic. Only used it twice and works great. I have'nt had a real bad shower like yours to try it on.

I would think for it to work with most people you would have to polish in place unless the customer was getting a full makeover on their bathroom

 

[dealtimeman]

is glass magic similair to rubbing compound?

 

[Mikey P]

yes.


but not the same.

The new and improved Scratch B-Gone. Don't forget to charge $300 per hour for this glass cleaning miracle.

how is that better than just using some CLR rubbing it around and letting it soak and then wash it off, you are trying to remove hard water stains right??

Exactly.

 

[Mikey P]

Give the CLR a try and get back to me.
It wont get 12 years of build up off like this method does.


Hoodeldork when you grow enough balls to actually own a business and learn how to diversify, then you can insult my strategies.

 

[Hoody]

I appreciate you caring about what I'm doing, but I'm doing just fine.

 

[Mikey P]

I think Lora would like her couch back.

 

[Hoody]

I sleep on the boxes in the shipping department.

 

[alazo1]

Unlike clr it's safe on stone.

[Danny Strickland]

12 years of build up is just plain freakin LAZY. was this house on Horders???

 

[The Asian Sensation]

That's pretty nice.....

Clr can etch the metal.

Lemon oil will turn the water deposits clear. Long enough for the check to also clear.

This is a trick house cleaners use.

 

[Larry B]

Or you could just slap on your mask and use some "Works Toilet Bowl Cleaner" and a green scratch pad. Wipe it on rinse it off and the glass looks like new. Takes two minuets and cost about $0.50 per shower. It will also remove rust stains from the tubs and sinks.

It's 20% acid so it will smoke when it comes in contact with soap scum & don't get it in your eyes.

If you leave the works on chrome without rinsing it off it will streak the chrome. Just make sure you rinse good.

 

[Gary T]

I use the same stuff as Mikey mentioned. It won't screw up stone or metal like acid does and it works great. I like to use a random orbit sander. Doesn't fling stuff all over like the Makita.

 

[Mikey P]

which gizmoP do you use Gary?

 

[bob vawter]

Makita 922-C is what you need...I jus paid 20 bucks for one at the flea market......
my heart was pounding when i saw it sitting there...........
you can buy a NEW one kit an' all for $189!

Terje use one to pre scrub furniture, off to HD to get one.

This is the one we use. Use it on glass, granite counters, fits the monkey pad too for edge work. Only need one hand to operate.

Oh, and I sanded about 1/4 of the outside of my house with it prior to panting. Still going strong.

After I saw Terjes post about that I bought one. Instead of buying a bunch of those little bonnet pads just take your upholstery tool and clean the bonnet off after your done with the job. Since its covered in pespray it makes it look like new and your ready for the next job.

at my house we have about the hardest water on the planet, its really terrible water, the shower glass looks terrible after a month or so. you can scratch off scuzzy stuff with your finger nail. some CLR sprayed on, a scotch brite pad to move it around, notice I said no scrubbing. 10 mins later rinse it off DONE. so lets say I hadn't cleaned it in 5 years, CLR would still do it, this time scrub it and soak for longer, no need to use a fancy buffer.

besides mikey since when are you brokedick enough to have to resort to shower cleaning for your lively hood??

 

[Mikey P]

for 2 to 300 an hour I'll do most anything Steve.


and I'd be willing to bet a POS broken down Lancer your glass at home is far from like new after 10 minutes with CLR, less chalky sure but like new?


no way.
