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

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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

Wait about 5-8 minutes until the wax binds with the paintwork. The higher temperature, the shorter time needed. 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. 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. 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.

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! 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.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. 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? 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. 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. 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.

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?

Invaluable before every Glaco glass coating application!

Prepare the windshield by carefully hand-washing it with a pH-neutral shampoo, drying it and decontaminating its surface using a clay bar, compound cleaner or other product of this kind. Glaco products work best if the glass surface is cleaned beforehand with Glaco Glass Compound Roll On. 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. 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. 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. There are two glass protecting products on test here: a glass compound for preparing the glass to be cleaned and a roll-on rain repellent. Ergonomics are at the forefront of the SOFT99 mantra, with both products featuring a built-in applicator and a simple way to dispense the product (squeeze the body).
