SOFT99 Glaco Glass Compound Roll On 100 ml - Abrasive Glass Cleaner for Car - Hydrophobic Glass Coating Preparation - Remove Oily Stains & Remains of Other Coatings - Integrated Applicator

Product Information

There’s little benefit to a rain repellent if it’s convoluted to apply or has an insanely long curing time (how long it takes before you can get it wet). With this in mind, this two-stage approach does take longer but the results last much longer. Nothing in this world can make the prospect of a traditional windscreen wiper exciting. At CAR, we’ve previously employed Lord Byron to make wiper blades interesting and even the worlds best wiper design - the superbly overengineered single wiper blade on the Mercedes 190E - isn’t interesting. To put it simply, use both together and you'll get effective long-lasting protection. Better still, there is no juddering from the wipers when they're in use, which can be an issue with some cheaper rain repellents. Get a minimal amount of product on the pad by applying gentle pressure to the surface of the wax and moving the pad around in a can. The usual rule of thumb has been that the better the protection, the more complex and expensive the application. SOFT99 aim to change this with an affordable, simple to apply rain repellent that offers long-term hydrophobic protection. What is it?

The Glaco DX Glass Set 3pcs is a comprehensive solution for effortlessly cleaning, protecting, and maintaining the clarity of your car windows. This set includes three essential products: the 10308 Glaco Glass Compound Roll On, the 04957 Glaco DX liquid wiper, and the 04111 Glaco De Cleaner. Tested Ryan Gilmore: An absolute pain to apply, Gtechniq G1 requires a good half days’ worth of sunshine to properly cure on the car’s windscreen. With the British weather the way it is, the application was delayed on no less than two occasions owing to approaching rain. It’s best to have a garage or at least a gazebo if you’re planning to apply this. In a word, yes. SOFT99 claims that the Glaco is an 'invisible wiper' and will remove the requirement of wipers at commuting speed (SOFT99 makes it clear you should use your wipers anyway) and in our experience, rainwater does bead off the glass effectively. We tried the Roll-On on both treated (with the compound) and untreated cars, and the difference in performance was rather clear. A classic rain repellent, Rain-X is readily available and quite possibly the best-selling rain repellent range here in the UK. The big benefit to Rain-X is the ease of application. Soft99 Protection time is a fantastic limited edition kit put together by Soft99 to celebrate their anniversary. This boxed kit includes: Soft99 Fusso, Soft99 Ultra Glaco and a FREE Soft99 Glaco Compound.Wait about 5-8 minutes until the wax binds with the paintwork. The higher temperature, the shorter time needed. Tested Ryan Gilmore: Originally developed for use on motorcycle helmets, an area where there’s no wiper action to help shift water, Vision + needed to be a capable option for removing water. Now available in a larger size for cars, Vision + proved to be an outstanding option, offering excellent water beading and glass cleaning action, all from a spray that required no curing time and took a couple of seconds to apply. Visibility will be your number one priority if applying a rain repellent to a car. In the same way that visibility is no.1 when applying some de-icer. After all, the sole job of a rain repellent is road safety, keeping water from congregating on your windscreen. A good rain repellent will see rain beading straight off the windscreen, leaving the road ahead clear. A poor rain repellent may, however, leave a smear on the glass, particularly in sunny or low-light conditions. This hampers visibility when it’s not raining and is a fairly irritating thing to deal with.

Apply the compound onto the glass by applying pressure, then move the applicator around in criss-cross motion, polishing the surface. In this kit we've enclosed the only the best things for your car! Try out the legendary Japanese Fusso technology and make your car shiny and protected even in the toughest conditions. Enjoy perfect visibility and driving comfort even in torrential rain. It's PROTECTION TIME! To maintain the effectiveness of the coating and keep your windows in optimal condition, the Glaco De Cleaner (04111) is included in the set. This cleaner is specifically designed to remove contaminants that may accumulate on the window surface over time, such as dust, pollen, and smudges. Regular use of the Glaco De Cleaner helps to preserve the water-shedding properties of the Glaco DX coating, ensuring long-lasting clarity and safety. It requires no buffing or curing time, instead wiping straight off after spraying it on. It's not the most refined of products, and the protection offered can be measured in weeks, not months, but it's good value for money and will also double as a decent glass cleaner too. When it was eventually sunny enough to apply, the process was straightforward but took the most time here. You’re provided with four applicator pads and really need to apply three layers to get the absolute best protection possible. You then need to apply the G2 Residue Remover (also included) to prevent streaking before leaving the whole thing to set for at least three hours.Take the cap off and apply it evenly on a dry windshield in a criss-cross motion. Do not apply it on wet surface, as it may cause damage to the surface. Application is also worth paying attention to. There are three options; spray-on, roll-on and applicator-applied examples. Each has its pros and cons, with spray-on options the easiest to apply but least durable and applicator examples vice versa. Rain repellents are similar to car waxes in many ways, sometimes featuring minimum temperatures and directions to apply out of direct sunlight. Longer-lasting options may also feature a curing time. Once you’ve finished, you can embrace a moist-free car interior if you decide to opt for an in-car dehumidifier. What about durability? After this, Gtechniq recommends not letting the glass get wet for 12 hours, but the end results will be 20,000 miles of hydrophobic protection, by far the best out of any rain repellents we've seen. Spread a thin and even layer of wax on the paintwork in a criss-crossmotion, working panel by panel. A simple squeeze of the orange bottle will deliver the repellent onto the foam pad, which you then pull across the windscreen, leaving a small visible streak as you do. After this, it's simply a case of leaving it for up to 10 minutes before wiping it with a microfibre towel. The results last for two months and don't leave any nasty smearing or cause juddering wipers.
