New glass
This week I visited a Papamoa residence to refurbish and ClearShield a shower screen that was only 3 months old. Because it was relatively new glass, I expected to follow ClearShield Eco-system six step process to achieve this. On inspection of the glass, water staining was already present on the edge of the screen but also surprisingly there was significant build-up of contaminants on the bottom half of the screen, see first photo, milky appearance. As a result I had to add an additional step to the process to machine buff off these contaminants, as chemical or physical activity alone would not remove this.
So next time your in the shower check the condition of your glass by rubbing your hand from the top of the glass to the bottom, if you feel roughness, this is a build up of contaminants. Initially you may remove some of these contaminants with household cleaners or DIY advertised products, but this is a short term win.
The ClearShield Eco-system removes these contaminates from the pores of the glass, not just the surface, and then seals the pores of the glass. As a result ClearShield treated glass will reduce your frequency of cleaning by 50% and when you do clean, save up to 85% in your time and cleaning materials.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
