Default Windwing sanding

Hello everyone! I want to show you an embellishment.

On one side of my roadster, the originally sanded wind wing is broken. I have ordered a replacement glass. Unfortunately, the ornaments on it were not sanded but only varnished. I didn't like it, it looked ugly.

Therefore I reworked the glass with a minimot and a diamond pane 1/10" deep, rubber polisher and wax polish. The result has become very beautiful and can hardly be distinguished from the original cut.

It's easier than expected.
