Step 5 Glass Polishing Pads
Step 5 glass polishing pads are part of the professional Glass Restore step-by-step restoration system.
Glass Restore is designed as one complete process, not as a collection of unrelated polishing pads. The technician selects the correct starting Step based on the condition of the glass and then continues through each required following Step.
Step 5 is normally used after Step 4. It may also be selected as the starting Step when the glass requires only minimal correction and does not need an earlier Step.
How Step 5 Is Used
Step 5 may be used in the following sequences:
Step 1 → Step 2 → Step 3 → Step 4 → Step 5 → Step 6
Step 2 → Step 3 → Step 4 → Step 5 → Step 6
Step 3 → Step 4 → Step 5 → Step 6
Step 4 → Step 5 → Step 6
When earlier correction is not required, the technician may begin directly with:
Step 5 → Step 6
The correct starting Step depends on the condition of the glass. The Step number does not mean that every restoration job must begin with Step 1.
When Step 5 is selected as the starting point, test the glass first. If Step 5 does not provide enough correction, move back to Step 4 or another appropriate earlier Step. Once the required correction is complete, continue forward through the remaining Steps.
One Complete Glass Restore System
Using random polishing pads can leave the technician guessing where to begin, which pad to use next and when the restoration process is complete.
The Glass Restore system creates a clear workflow:
- Select the starting Step based on the glass condition
- Test whether the selected Step provides enough correction
- Move back to an earlier Step when necessary
- Continue through every following Step in sequence
- Complete the restoration with Step 6
Every Glass Restore pad is clearly identified by its Step number. This makes the system easier to organize, follow and repeat on professional restoration jobs.
The pads are designed to work together. Beginning with Step 5 does not mean the process is complete after Step 5. Step 6 must still be used to finish the Glass Restore process.

We keep a steady stock of Step 5 pads in our glass shop because they are essential for the ultra-fine refining pass. Once you’ve removed deeper defects, this pad levels out the micro-texture so the final clarity pass shines through. A must-have pad for high-end optical work.

When servicing solar collection arrays hit by atmospheric smog glaze, aggressive cutting pads can damage protective coatings. Step 5 delivered the exact degree of ultra-fine polishing needed to lift the persistent film safely, restoring maximum light absorption across the panels.

Some products try to be an all-in-one solution. I actually prefer that Step 5 has a specific role because it gives me more control over the restoration. It lets me match the process to the glass instead of treating every project the same way.
