Working with hand pads is usually time-consuming, but it also affords a feel and an intimacy with the glass that's not usually possible with more elaborate tools As with most grinding and polishing operations, a typical job calls for using a succession of grits, from coarse to fine Diamond hand pads are color-coded Rough grinding and polishing work often starts with 70 grit, then proceeds to 120, 220, and 400 Usually, 600 grit is about as fine as people use with hand pads on the glass; this won't leave a highly polished surface, but it will go with a nice satin sheen Regardless of the grit you're using, be very cautious if you're working close to areas that you don't want to work with the hand pads The pads will quickly scratch shiny surfaces Perfect for abrading glass, fiberglass, and composites Invaluable for seaming and edging
