what did u say.. .after 4 weeks not washing your car? it looks brand new... my wifes car looks after two days like she drove the fking paris dakkar in two turns
@carcleaningguru I used the same Towels as yourself and found they linted all over the glass even after thoroughly washing them. Have you come across this problem. The glass was clayed and was spotlessly clean. Thanks.
I had a bad experience with these products. The felt pads are just about useless. The compound left spots that weren't polished, had to go over those spots a few times. Then when I used the glass sealant, the same thing happened, it left spots that weren't sealed. Even going over the areas two -three times. Finally I ripped off the felt applicators and used a little cloth that comes with ceramic coatings and that worked perfectly. With that said, we had heavy rain yesterday and when I came out to my car the windshield was totally dry as if it hadn't rained at all. So I'm very happy with the products just not the felt applicators. ty
Based on this, I forked out for the SOFT99 Glaco DX and couldn't be happier. It might be a bit pricey but the results speak for themselves. Works great on bathroom mirrors too!
I've found Glaco set few weeks ago and applied it on my car 2 weeks ago. The hydrophobic effect is awesome and over certain speed you don't need to use windshield wipers! Definitely recommend this!
@@davidsmith2650 Rain-X, however, is only good until you use your wipers for about... 20 or 30 minutes, then it's only about half as good. It needs to be re-applied regularly, especially if you have to use your wipers during low speed travel. For highway speed it's fantastic, no wipers needed no matter how bad the deluge (well, mostly).
ANY kind of coating on a window is temporary. If you use wipers at all it wears it off very quickly. I can make an application of rain-x last 6+months by never using my wipers. If there is morning frost, pour warm water on your window to melt it. Never scrape, never wipe, don't touch them.
Your car detailing skills are second to none. Your editing is first-rate, and your dulcet tones in the commentary are perfect. In addition, watching your videos is so relaxing I swear my bp drops. Cheers, mate, for what you do 😊
Griots Glass sealant is the easiest to apply, is very cheap and beads water like crazy also works with the wipers causing no chatter.Been detailing for 30 years now.
Great review. For anyone reading this, I don't care whether you use this product, Rain-X, or some other brand product, just use something! This products increase safety for you immensely.
The best glass sealant is the quickest to apply as they all don’t last as long as you would like them too so being able to quickly re-apply is the way to go.
I’ve watched this video maybe 3 or 4 times. Thanks for producing these clear, concise videos with lots of great footage. I finally got around to buying the glass cleaner and using it - amazing product that I wish I’d discovered for my cars 10 years ago. Will definitely try the repellent next once my bottle of rainx is depleted!
I'm so excited to see people start using these products, I coat every car with this and have a hard time driving without it in the rain. I personally highly recommend going with 2 coats, (or even 3 on the windscreen), makes the product last a bit longer, but it has a strong hydrophobic effect for much longer.
applied this some time ago and its amazing. the dirt just doesnt stick to the glass....1 month in of terrible weather and the glass is still spotless. interesting that you applied yours like i had, post wash...so glass was wet when doing the compound. Seems like many do this on dry windows... but ive done both, and thus far see no difference in the durability of the coating.
There was a product like this in the mid 1990s. My dad had it. Loved it during a heavy rain storm on the freeway with the wipers off while everyone else had to pull over and drive slow.
Normally I skip long vids or at least fast forward to the bottom line but I stayed to the end because it was very well done. The ending was very cool & I liked the jazzy music 😊
It’s so satisfying to have the car finished and looking perfect and completely protected. I generally use G-Technic’s glass sealant but I will give this a go. Cheers. 👍
The wax job has comtinued to make your car look lush and honestly that glass cleaner is pretty impressive. Might have to get myself some for the lil suzuki swift after the wettest summer of our lives. Love those funny little dash cam shots. She was well impressed with your car!
My 17yr old glass sparkles at the mo as I’ve just washed it and put it back in garage as I’ve a new toy to clean now,will definitely be looking at getting this product,I use that invisible glass cleaner works a treat I reckon then gyeon wet coat over the top just beads like mad
I'd probably recommend wiping the glass compound off with a wet microfiber to get the excess off first, rather than pressure washing it. It goes EVERYWHERE! Still find residue from from making that mistake months ago 🤣
The best rain repellent I used was H2GO. I went overboard with the cleaning stage, prior to the application. I then followed exactly to the letter what the instructions for application were. It lasted absolutely ages, far longer than what others were saying and I was getting the repellency at about 15 mph so less than the 20 mph stated. It was amazing. I put it on a new car that I asked not to have cleaned or waxed etc. Maybe that helped, as well as the preparation. The only negative was the rubbish bottle that it came in. It broke easily and leaked, wasting a bit of the product.
Loved that montage at the end mate that should be a regular feature for the views. Get the dashcam loving crowd in here (we all are really ). Going to give this stuff a go.
Yeh just takes a bit of time to collect enough clips but won’t let them go to waste from now on. If you missed it there’s a longer one at the end of the diy wheel refurb vid.
I'm curious how the product behaves when using your actual wipers, in my car any trace of any hydrophobic product on the windscreen and the wipers immediately squeak and on shudder to a major extent. Not sure if this car just applies ridiculous pressure to the blades but my previous car was the same.
Hi Joe, loving the montages at the end, absolutely brilliant. I've got a GTechniq coating on my glass which works well but causes my windscreen wipers to judder. I could be wrong, but once the novelty has worn off, I think that a lot of people prefer to be windscreen wiper peasants, after all.
@@jakepocock1616 I did indeed, but didn't stop the judder. I should add that these are Bosch wiper blades, the big floppy ones. BMW OEM wipers are fine and don't judder but don't perform quite as well. I probably should by a new pair but am being stubborn (AKA stupid) because I bought the Bosch ones for their better performance.
Make sure you clean your wiper blades too. I use magic eraser pads which are melamine and these remove all the stuff clinging to the wiper rubbers that can contribute to judder.
I hate using my wipers, using a similar product to that and yeah, if water is sitting in the windscreen, a quick tap on the brakes will usually run it forward off the roof and clear the windscreen lol. Same with if its actually raining rather than sprinkling, same deal... the rain will also clear the windscreen.
IMPORTANT - These things like Rain X (£5) are amazing for glasses and rain X anti fog. My mate discovered it during lockdown when wearing masks. It made my life a lot better when I applied it to my own glasses. Rain runs off them and the inside of the glasses do not fog at all from condensation in the air and from your breath. Best £5 I ever spent, well another £5 for the anti fog
"minimum amount of elbow grease" - veins popping in his bicep, car shaking like in GTA San Andreas :D # Bought this kit few weeks ago but haven't gotten to applying it yet, now I just might. Thanks Guru
I’ve been using autoglym glass polish and rain x hydrophobic coating for over 10 years now to achieve basically identical results. Is this Glaco product substantially different in terms of performance or longevity?
Great video again, been looking for something like this to have a pop at my 15 year old A3 glass which is sadly looking its age! Added this to the list, thanks mate
Just a heads up, you can purchase OPTICAL GRADE CERIUM OXIDE GLASS POLISHING POWDER on the cheap by the bag/box with no need for premixed product for a fraction of the cost and will last a very very long time. You can mix up as much as you need and for deeper windshield wiper scratches you can you a power buffer to polish those out.. It can make a mess when mechanically polishing glass and possibly scratch paint with the over-splash when polishing glass. So covering paint surfaces with a plastic sheet is recommended.
Sounds like it would be worth a go on the MX-5 and since that has so little glass I could probably do the Land Rover too, would be interesting to see how it fends of bugs and bird nuggets. The Land Rover windscreen still has a bit of Raptor overspray dust on it so the compound would be handy to clear that up.
I used turtle wax clearvue glass coating, I put it on the night before a roadtrip and next day it was phenomenal for the whole day, then week later you can barely tell if its there or not, not great, lots of work to put on just to find it doesnt last
Loved this, and how good is it to see some youg'uns liking an older car 😊. Quick question, did you have any issues with the compound making a mess of the paintwork? All the best. 👍
People overlook the importance of a glass product to sheet the rain. I used this before and going on 80 mph on the highway in the rain, I never used the windshield wipers. Makes you realize how distracting they actually are after you drive without them.
Always wondered, if you're using a water repellent like this on your front windshield/window, are you supposed to NOT use your wipers as much as possible so that the repellent effect doesn't get "scraped away" by them ? Thanks.
It’s been a while since I last watched one of your videos (TH-cam seems to think I’m not interested) , I realise now just how much I missed your attention to detail, your humour and your charming accent.
Don’t use rainX wiper fluid if you use it The rainX won’t adhere to the glass and it just smudges How do I know this ? Because it happened to me Just use plain old wiper fluid and it works great.
This is neat, I have always used toothpaste as my decon then a polish to finish. Almost never use the wipers and when I do they are silent when in use. Peace!
I love Soft99, I use it on my car, Fusso, Kiwami, lux gloss and the creamy soap and thats on you! I havent tried the Glaco you put on, i have the "older" one and thats quite good as well, ill give this one a test. Have you tried their polishing compounds?
Anyone remember ducksback? I still have some boxes somewhere.. squeeze to break the glass then cover. Also dodojuice supernatural glass sealant was my favourite, although rather difficult to apply initially.
Not only did I enjoy the presentation of how well the Glaco rain-repellent works, but enjoyed listening to the narrator's accent and clean articulation of the english language. Good job mate!
Some help please. DX say 3-4 months. About right. So I want to reapply but on a perfectly fresh screen. What's the most effective method to remove all the old stuff? Cheers
@@pigeonpoo1823 I would suggest to use Compound (again). It strips back the original applied DX. Afterwards, you can either put DX on or Glaco Ultra (6-9 months of protection)
Car guru - first time using dx. Love it. Got 3 months but its dying. How to i strip the remaining dx? I have surfex, fairy, AG glass polish and panel prep. What would be your strategy for re applying
I find Barkeepers Friend works exceedingly well on glass and removes the hard mineral build up (which causes auto wipers to go crazy) with ease. Keeping the mineral deposits off though... haven't found anything yet.
What's the difference between this and Aquapel? Aquapel lasts at least 6 months for me. I use Rain-X windshield wiper fluid which supports the hydrophobic properties. I do find Aquapel works better than Rain-X, but I'm not sure about the Glaco. While the Glaco stripping is interesting, is it really necessary? Have you ever used Aquapel? It's been 4 months -- good time to re-visit how well Glaco is doing and what you've done to maintain since this video!
Rain-X (the dedicated application, not the clean-and-protect combined stuff) works great for this too, and is in most stores - a $10 bottle covers like 5 cars for me. Though I can definitely believe the stripping compound helps, and it would explain some difficulty I've had in the past. As a plus on this kind of stuff in northern climates: it's *amazing* at preventing ice from sticking. Scraping windows all winter is absolutely trivial with a good application, it just cracks and falls right off. You can hardly call it "scraping", often just a whack with your fist and then brushing it off will be good enough. Personally, as a lazy person: I stick one of those furry buffing pads on a drill to work it in. Much faster and less tiring, I've had consistently good results unlike by hand, and it cleans off the pad after a couple washes and can be reused.
Nice review, thank you for this. My car is coated with Gtechniq CSL… do you think I can use any of the Glaco products over my ceramic coating as an extra protection/helper for the ceramic coating?
I was a little reticent to use Glaco as I didn’t believe the hype but, I must say it does what it says on the tin/ applicator. I’m not convinced that it’s any better than Angle-wax H2Go which I think is cheaper?
Looks like another Great product Joe and no doubt I'll be breaking the piggy bank open again, gotta say thank you for an earlier review you did on Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Graphene Acrylic Trim Restorer used it on my 9th gen civic and the front scuttle and wheel arch trims have never looked so good really appreciate it thankyou
I bought this and on both my daily and my girlfriend’s. After using the glass compound, it left the windscreen covered in thousands of hairline scratches that are extremely noticeable and distracting while driving. Especially in sunlight. Now I have to go through the process of figuring out how to get the scratches out of the windscreen…
Thank you so much for your comment! I bought the product over a year ago but i was affraid to use it just not to scratch the windshield. I know what you mean with the scratches and i'm sorry for what happened to you. I scratched the winshield to another car years ago when i watched a guy from a reputable detailing company that was using paint polish for cleaning glass... I was so upset. After that i tried cerium oxide glass polish and felth pads and after hours of polishingi managed to get it to a drivable condition at night, but all stone chips got bigger.

What would be your strategy for re applying
You take better care of a car than a mom with her baby! Awesome video, thanks
Thanks for sharing, some great information in the video regarding the product 👌
I find Barkeepers Friend works exceedingly well on glass and removes the hard mineral build up (which causes auto wipers to go crazy) with ease. Keeping the mineral deposits off though... haven't found anything yet.
man i need this just to pass the wiper using peasants!
What's the difference between this and Aquapel? Aquapel lasts at least 6 months for me. I use Rain-X windshield wiper fluid which supports the hydrophobic properties. I do find Aquapel works better than Rain-X, but I'm not sure about the Glaco. While the Glaco stripping is interesting, is it really necessary? Have you ever used Aquapel?
It's been 4 months -- good time to re-visit how well Glaco is doing and what you've done to maintain since this video!
I love Rain-X and don't use my wipers when applied. This seems to take more work to apply. What are the advantages over Rain-X?
Great video.
Similar performance but better durability.
Rain-X (the dedicated application, not the clean-and-protect combined stuff) works great for this too, and is in most stores - a $10 bottle covers like 5 cars for me. Though I can definitely believe the stripping compound helps, and it would explain some difficulty I've had in the past.
As a plus on this kind of stuff in northern climates: it's *amazing* at preventing ice from sticking. Scraping windows all winter is absolutely trivial with a good application, it just cracks and falls right off. You can hardly call it "scraping", often just a whack with your fist and then brushing it off will be good enough.
Personally, as a lazy person: I stick one of those furry buffing pads on a drill to work it in. Much faster and less tiring, I've had consistently good results unlike by hand, and it cleans off the pad after a couple washes and can be reused.
How's the durability with wipers? 9x out of 10 the sealants I use are gone within a month of UK weather 😂
I would LOVE to try it. My black car will appreciate it!!
Best combo imo been using them for awhile now
Awesome little car and awesome product!!!
Will this reduce frost sticking to the car?
falls off the side windows But still needs a good scrape on the screen , Best not to use the wipers until the screen heater is up to temp .
Nice review, thank you for this. My car is coated with Gtechniq CSL… do you think I can use any of the Glaco products over my ceramic coating as an extra protection/helper for the ceramic coating?
this was a really great video, mate. thanks!
I was a little reticent to use Glaco as I didn’t believe the hype but, I must say it does what it says on the tin/ applicator. I’m not convinced that it’s any better than Angle-wax H2Go which I think is cheaper?
your videos make me want to buy every single product you feature hahaha
Looks like another Great product Joe and no doubt I'll be breaking the piggy bank open again, gotta say thank you for an earlier review you did on Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Graphene Acrylic Trim Restorer used it on my 9th gen civic and the front scuttle and wheel arch trims have never looked so good really appreciate it thankyou
I bought this and on both my daily and my girlfriend’s. After using the glass compound, it left the windscreen covered in thousands of hairline scratches that are extremely noticeable and distracting while driving. Especially in sunlight. Now I have to go through the process of figuring out how to get the scratches out of the windscreen…
Thank you so much for your comment! I bought the product over a year ago but i was affraid to use it just not to scratch the windshield. I know what you mean with the scratches and i'm sorry for what happened to you. I scratched the winshield to another car years ago when i watched a guy from a reputable detailing company that was using paint polish for cleaning glass... I was so upset. After that i tried cerium oxide glass polish and felth pads and after hours of polishingi managed to get it to a drivable condition at night, but all stone chips got bigger.
