Glas is polished with cer-oxide. The white 3m glass polish is what I use but you can mix it yourself from cer powder and water if you are in for a giant mess.



You can use it with an old foam pad and a rotary polisher. Polish until every bit of residue is completely gone. You can't scratch the glass by dry polishing with the foam pad but the residue is almost impossible to remove by hand and will result in a completely lovely sealant application.


Don't think you'll be removing scratches with a polish though, it's really more about getting rid of contaminants before you apply a SiO2 sealant.

You can remove scratches by sanding the glass and then polishing it, but the process is extremely work intensive and it's less of a hassle to just get a new windshield, protect it from the beginning and just avoid using the wipers. Also makes your sealant last forever.

Apply the sealant with a throwaway lint free wipe. Wipe until the entire sealant is evaporated. Do not stop while there are still streaks. Wipe half a windscreen with a few drops for at least a minute or 2. If you think you are wiping dry, do another minute. Do not leave any residue. It will also be impossible to buff out and it will leave weird water streaks in the beading. You do not have to buff the windscreen afterwards. Just make sure you absolutely work the sealant until fully evaporated.

I use the old würth window sealant that comes in a 250 ml or so bottle. The Koch chemie stuff is essentially the same. Never used rainX but it'll likely be similar.

For the wipes I use würth tex-rein



Don't bother with the pre cleaner that you get with the sealant. It's just a cer oxide polish too. Don't bother with hand polishing. Use the rotary with a pad, wipe with dry throwaway wipe to remove any dust, apply the sealant with a fresh wipe and leave be for a day or 2.
Cool, thanks for the detailed explanation! I don't really have any scratches on my glass, but when the sun shines at just the right angle, I can see a ton of little dots that are pretty annoying and distracting. They they're probably sort of contamination, or maybe tiny chips from rocks.

It's wrapped pretty well, so it's hard to tell, but that could be someone's entire worldly possessions on the back of their car so they can move house.

What the hell is going on with that hitch? It's hard to make out what is attached where. I mean, the truck isn't beefy enough, but you could at least use a ball mount that raises the ball enough to somewhat level the trailer.

Well considering the back wheel of the trailer is off the ground, putting the boat on it properly would have been a good start.

The boat is on the trailer right, truck isn't rated to tow that much weight.

It appears to be a car fire and a comically small fire extinguisher

E: they appear to be draining the gas tank, but I don't know where the spark came from

Even used properly that tiny CO2 probably wouldn't have any effect on the fire besides blowing the flammable liquid around.

CO2 sucks for class B fires, the liquid is often hot enough to auto ignite once the extinguisher is removed, and it takes a fuckton of CO2 to smother a liquid fire that size. I can't believe an auto shop doesn't have a decent size dry chemical extinguisher on hand.

Spark was probably just static if that's gas.

It's actually supposed to go further forward, with the bow snugged right up in the bow stopper. Looks like old mate's bought too big a trailer hoping she'll grow into it.

I didn't know that about the boat, makes sense considering the way weight distribution works with a trailer.

I'm not a boat person, but yeah, it looks like that trailer is not setup correctly for that boat. So the tongue weight is probably inappropriate for even the correct tow vehicle.

The trailer appears to be a "Boat Master" Commercial model. It comes with at 60K pintle hitch and a 10K tongue jack, where the rule of thumb is that the jack's capacity should be ~10% of the trailer's.

I wonder if this was a lender repo crew that ... made some bad decisions.

Farmers sometimes make dollies out of angle iron and booger welds so they can use a tow ball to move equipment with a gooseneck/two-point hitch around the yard (or down a county road when they don't want to put hours on a tractor).

Its probably a generic boat trailer a dealership had on hand that had been modified to fit that bayliner. Finding a large boat trailer in florida right now is interesting. My work is having to scramble to source trailers for some of our boats and still coming up short with the more unique ones. Setting it up like that will work well enough to transport it to a marina where it can be craned into the water or live in a slip.

Also, loving lol, bayliner.
