Introduction: Glass shower doors are an elegant addition to any bathroom, but over time, water spots can dull their appearance. Fortunately, with the right techniques and products, you can restore the clarity of your glass shower door and protect it from future water damage. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of polishing water spots and applying a sealant to keep your shower door looking pristine.
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies: Before you begin, make sure you have the following supplies on hand:
Ceramic spray sealant option 1 or Ceramic spray sealant option 2 Both are great top tier sealants that I have tested vigorously.
Step 2: Clean the Glass: Start by cleaning the glass thoroughly using a glass cleaner or a mixture of dish soap and water. This will remove any surface dirt and grime, making it easier to tackle the water spots.
Step 3: Remove Water Spots: For stubborn water spots, use a water spot remover and apply it to the affected areas. Gently scrub the spots using a microfiber towel, then rinse with water. Careful to protect surrounding surfaces as water spot removers can damage delicate surfaces.
Step 4: Polish the Glass: If the water spots persist, you may need to use a glass polish to restore the clarity of the glass. Apply a small amount of polish to a clean microfiber cloth and buff the glass in circular motions until the spots are no longer visible.
Step 5: Prep the glass: Use the sealant surface prep to remove any residue from the previous cleaning steps. This is an important step to ensure good long lasting results from the sealant.
Step 6: Apply Sealant: Once the glass is clean and free of water spots, it's time to apply a sealant to protect it from future damage. You'll need to apply the sealant evenly to the entire surface of the glass using a clean microfiber towel. Buff to a slick glossy shine. Allow the sealant to cure for 24hrs before using the shower.
Step 7: Maintenance: To keep your glass shower door looking its best, regularly clean it with a mild glass cleaner and wipe it dry after each use. This will help prevent water spots from forming and extend the life of the sealant. Reapply the sealant as needed. A quick touch up will keep it going for a long time. You will know when it needs a touch up as the water will no longer be forming beads on the surface of the glass.
Conclusion: With a little time and effort, you can easily polish away water spots and apply a protective sealant to your glass shower door, keeping it looking like new for years to come. Follow these steps regularly to maintain the beauty and clarity of your shower enclosure.
