Removing Permanent Haze From Ceramic Glass

[Hullspeed]

Here's a video demonstrating the use of cerium oxide powder to remove heavy etch damage from a piece of wood-burning insert ceramic glass.  This is what you can do if the haze is more than just a simple layer of soot or ash on the glass.  If you skip trying to video record it, you can probably go a lot faster than I did.

Paper towels, 1 wet dipped in ashes and 1 dry to wipe the slurry off the glass works for me.  Easy takes me about 5 min. to do both sides.  Cleaned them this morning and they look like new just like in the photo below.

I have a gas fired fireplace.  It gets some sort of soot build up, how I'd don't understand.  I guess my gas company is sending me dirty gas :D  It wouldn't clean up completely with just glass cleaner.  I used a straight blade razor and scraped it off with that.  The glass was not etched but I will keep this tucked away for the future.  I (will) have a wood stove in my cabin.
