eQualle Sandpaper Sheets for Restoring Foggy Glass (400–2000 Grit Guide)

Glass surfaces, from windows to glass tabletops, can become foggy or scratched over time. With eQualle 9x11 inch Wet/Dry Sandpaper Sheets, you can safely restore clarity using the right grit sequence and technique.

Why Sanding Glass Works

Foggy or scratched glass occurs when the surface develops tiny abrasions. Sanding gradually smooths these imperfections, and progressing to finer grits restores transparency before final polishing.

Tools You’ll Need

• Sanding block or foam pad
• Spray bottle with water
• Microfiber cloths
• Glass polishing compound
• eQualle Wet/Dry Sandpaper Sheets

Best Sandpaper Grits for Glass Restoration

• 400 Grit (25-pack) — Removes foggy buildup and light scratches.
• 800 Grit (50-pack) — Smooths the surface after coarse sanding.
• 1200 Grit (100-pack) — Refines clarity before polishing.
• 2000 Grit (25-pack) — Final sanding step for a polished, transparent surface.

Step-by-Step: Restoring Foggy Glass

1. Clean the glass. Wash thoroughly with soap and water, then dry.
2. Start with 400 grit. Wet sand lightly to remove fog and scratches.
3. Switch to 800 grit. Smooth sanding marks for better clarity.
4. Move to 1200 grit. Refine the surface, bringing back transparency.
5. Finish with 2000 grit. Wet sand for near-clear results.
6. Polish. Apply glass polishing compound for full clarity.

Special Cases

For tempered glass, avoid aggressive sanding to prevent damage. For car windows or mirrors, focus only on surface scratches—deep cracks require replacement.

Pro Tips

• Always wet sand glass to prevent heat and cracking.
• Use light pressure—let the sandpaper do the work.
• Inspect under bright light to check progress before moving grits.

Aftercare

• Clean with non-abrasive cleaners only.
• Polish periodically with fine compounds to maintain clarity.
• Avoid harsh scrubbing pads that can re-scratch the surface.

FAQs

• Can I restore all types of glass? Yes, but avoid heavy sanding on tempered or safety glass.
• Will sanding make glass perfectly clear? Yes, if followed by polishing compound after 2000 grit.
• Do I need special tools? No, sanding blocks and wet/dry sandpaper are sufficient.
