The viewing glass (clear ceramic really) had developed a hazy spot that would not clean up with standard
stove glass cleaner, negatively impacting the viewing experience.![Down :( :(](/talk/styles/default/xenforo/smileys/downer.gif)
I ordered a 3" backing plate, polishing discs for a right angle gringer, and some cerium oxide glass polish and went to work.
As you can see from the before and after pics the glass now looks like new.![Smile :) :)](/talk/styles/default/xenforo/smileys/grin.gif)
The polishing does take some time so you must be patient. I found it best to polish for 5 or 10 min
take a break and let the glass cool down (it gets hot form the friction) and then polish some more.
