eQualle Sandpaper Sheets for Glass Polishing (800–3000 Grit Guide)

Polishing glass requires patience, precision, and the right abrasives. Scratches, haze, or water spots can ruin the appearance of mirrors, windows, or glass tabletops. With eQualle 9x11 inch Wet/Dry Sandpaper Sheets, you can restore clarity using a proper grit progression designed for delicate glass surfaces.

Why Sanding Glass Works

Glass polishing with sandpaper gradually removes surface scratches and imperfections layer by layer. By starting with a medium grit and moving up to ultra-fine, you achieve a smooth, clear, almost mirror-like surface without replacing the glass.

Tools You’ll Need

• Spray bottle with water
• Soft sanding block
• Microfiber cloths
• Polishing compound
• eQualle 9x11 in Wet/Dry Sandpaper Sheets

Best Sandpaper Grits for Glass Polishing

• 800 Grit (25-pack) — Starts the smoothing process by removing visible scratches.
• 1200 Grit (50-pack) — Refines scratches left by 800 grit and evens the surface.
• 2000 Grit (100-pack) — Further smooths the glass, reducing haze.
• 3000 Grit (50-pack) — Final ultra-fine step before polishing for crystal clarity.

Step-by-Step: Sanding & Polishing Glass

1. Prep the glass. Clean thoroughly to remove dirt and grit that could cause deeper scratches.
2. Wet sand with 800 grit. Keep the surface wet and move in circular motions over scratches.
3. Switch to 1200 grit. Lightly sand in straight strokes, alternating direction for full coverage.
4. Move to 2000 grit. This step reduces haze and smooths the glass surface further.
5. Finish with 3000 grit. Use gentle pressure and water for an ultra-smooth finish.
6. Polish. Apply glass polishing compound with a microfiber cloth for final clarity.

Special Cases

For deep scratches, start with 600 grit before moving to 800. For light haze or water spots, you may begin directly with 1200 grit.
