Gforce2 Scratch Removal System by Weldglass, is it true?

[mend master]

Sorry for the late response, but things have been hectic here. I have the original G-force. I looked at a variety of systems including the dry approach. As I stated previously, my personal opinion is that dry is not the way to go on small area repairs due to the distortion it will cause without enough room to feather out the area and the potential to remove too much material as you are actually sanding/grinding material away. The GlasWeld system works well, but there is a learning curve and it is NOT an easy job in most cases. Its messy, because you are making a slurry from compound and water. It also takes a fair amount of strength and endurance to keep the disc moving yet perfectly flat on the glass. Its expensive to get into as you know if you have priced these systems. I'm not trying to talk you out of this, but again, please do yourself a favor and do your market research. Make SURE you have customers that would be interested in paying for this type of service and find out how much they would be willing to pay for it. Windshield replacement costs for a car dealer are very low in most cases,at least in our country, so it really limits what you can charge for this service. Higher end cars tend to have more bells and whistles so they are more expensive to replace, but on the other side of the coin, you had better be able to deliver a perfect or nearly perfect repair. I have worked several hours to remove deep grooves from wiper arms and not been able to charge anywhere near what my time and materials were worth. I have had others that came out well in about an hour, so at $65-75 average rate, it was worthwhile as far as I was concerned. Another reminder: This is not the only service I offer, it is simply another related service that makes sense within the scope of what I do. I wish you well, whatever you decide to do.

Thank you... So it does work the G force, right? That is what I really need to know.
As for your information, I mainly use it for residential instead of auto industry.
Anyone else have experience on G force?

The Gforce does indeed work. GlasWeld is also offering an add-on abrading package for grafitti work, etc. I haven't added this as yet, but considering it.
