I just finished resealing my 220 gallon aquarium, before I silicone my 3D background in place I'd like to get some nasty mineral deposit stains and some scratches off my front pane of glass. A lot of my time was invested in this background, starting to wonder if I should just buy a new 240 from glass cages.
So I've been using a 5" orbital sander with some glass polishing pads and cerium oxide I bought off amazon. Lets just say it really hasn't worked out so well. I'm not sure if the pad I'm using is the right pad, or if the orbital doesn't have enough RPM rating to buff them out. The scratches are pretty fine but they're in the center of the tank, which is why I'd like to have them gone.
The mineral deposits aren't coming off either. I have tried the cerium oxide with the orbital as well as letting the tank soak in CLR. I even tried bleach all the harsh stuff....lol
Really haven't had much luck removing much of anything at this point. Has anyone used cerium oxide or anything else to successfully remove scratches or mineral deposits/hard water stains/salt deposits from glass?
