Meaning and boundaries
Cerium oxide is not one uniform product; purity, oxidation state, particle size, additives, concentration, pH, dispersion, and contamination can change performance.
Why it matters in glass restoration
It is a core glass-polishing system but should not be described as harmless, universally compatible, or self-terminating.
