glass polishing
Smoothing transparent panes
Glass polishing is the process of smoothing and clarifying glass surfaces to remove scratches, cloudiness, or imperfections.
The technique uses progressively finer abrasives or chemical compounds to restore transparency and shine: The antique mirror needed professional glass polishing to remove decades of wear.
The term also applies to finishing optical lenses and decorative glassware.
