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

Apply the compound onto the glass by applying pressure, then move the applicator around in criss-cross motion, polishing the surface. Glaco is a family of water repellent coatings and products for cleaning glass surfaces. Thanks to unique, Japanese technology, Glaco has been making driving in the rain comfortable and safe for car owners all over the world for 30 years. Prepare the windshield by carefully hand-washing it with a pH-neutral shampoo, drying it and decontaminating its surface using a clay bar, cleaner or other product of this kind. 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. Tested Ryan Gilmore: A popular choice for an obvious reason, Rain-X combines cleaning and repellent at a temptingly low price. Another part of its appeal has to be the simple application process, there’s no need to buff or let the product cure, it simply needs wiping off once sprayed onto the glass. The 500ml bottle features an ergonomic trigger and delivered a neat and even misting of the product, which is wiped away without leaving any residue behind.

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. Glaco DX utilises the newly developed SARF (Strong Adhesion + Rapid Finish) technology, which shortens bonding time between the coating and glass to just 5 minutes. Polishing the coating has become amazingly easy, and the strength of the bond guarantees durability for up to 4 months. In addition, the coating forms an ultra-smooth film that repels water with unparalleled power and speed. 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. 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.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. 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. 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? 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.

Glaco DX is the latest generation of the Glaco glass coating range, providing unprecedented water repellency, ease of application and ergonomics of use. Try Glaco DX and discover the highest level of safety and comfort while driving in the rain. 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. Primarily designed to clean and protect motorcycle helmets, Vision + from Autobrite Direct is our top choice for combining a glass cleaner with a hydrophobic layer of protection. Vision + promotes some serious water beading and is perfectly safe to apply to most translucent materials, including glass, acrylic and Perspex. Once your windows are clean, the Glaco DX (04957) liquid wiper comes into play. This innovative product forms a protective coating on your windows, providing extreme water shedding capabilities. When driving in the rain, the water droplets will simply roll off the windows, greatly enhancing visibility and ensuring safer driving conditions. This coating lasts for several months, allowing you to enjoy its benefits for an extended period.An exercise in excellent innovation, Soft99 Glaco Roll-On combines the repellent and applicator in one product, a great time saver and a way of ensuring that the glass is fully coated. 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! 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. Thanks to its properties, Glaco DX is useful not only on rainy days. In winter, it will reduce the formation of frost and ice, and throughout the rest of the year, it will protect the glass against dirt, making daily maintenance easier. The Glaco Compound is applied to clean glass and is really easy to use (squeeze the body and use the attached foam applicator) and while it may look like a beige wax, it will turn whiter as it’s worked into the glass. Its job is to break down any existing rain repellents as well as any stubborn oils that aren’t shifted during regular shampooing. Once applied you simply hose the Compound off and your glass is ready for a coating.

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. A seriously impressive option for total windscreen protection, Gtechniq's G1 features an almost tediously long and complex application process. There are two stages to the application process, the G1 Smart Glass (which requires three layers for the best results) followed by a curing time and then some G2 Residue Remover. Polish the residue with a clean and dry microfiber cloth, frequently changing the sides of the microfiber or replacing it with a new one. Work until you achieve a satisfying effect. Prepare your car by carefully hand-washing it with a pH-neutral shampoo, drying it and decontaminating its surface using a clay bar, cleaner or other product of this kind.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. 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. With the Glaco Glass Compound Roll On (10308), you can easily remove stubborn dirt, grime, and watermarks from your car windows. Its powerful formula ensures a thorough cleaning, leaving your windows crystal clear and free from unsightly residue.
