Good video Jon, I've used Rain-X for years, I'll wait while the groans subside, and have never had a problem. I do make sure the wiper blades are clean, ie no more black marks coming off when you wipe them off with a paper towel and then treat the screen and the blades! I also add a good slug of their screen wash along with my usual screen wash so the screen gets topped up as you wash & wipe. Clean screen, no smears, easier bug removal and over 60 mph you don't always need your wipers on, as the water streams off before the wipers can get ot it! I have used the Glaco scrren cleaner and it works really well. I aslo applied Fuso light on my son's silver Audi, wow that stuff's good as well. Keep up the good work.
I have this on my mini, and of all the ones I've tried over the years this is my favourite, your review is spot on and reflects everything I have found with the product
This is one of my favourite detailing products so far. Applied it two years ago and there is still good hydrofobic effect on my windscreen some 40k km later. Also the glass is very easy to clean. Much better visibility in rain, wiper blades work smoothly, no visible streaks etc. Prior installing I did use Sonax glass polishing compound and felt pad + pressed hard with rotary polisher for 30 minutes, so the product had some fresh clean surface to adhere to. Maybe it's the reason why it has lasted so long. Or could be that Gyeon wet coat acts like a booster for it, even i try not to spray it onto the windshield when I'm using it. Anyway great product, i was thinking i will polish the windshield and reapply it soon.
Great review jon! Cheers 🍻
I've found a light mist of alcohol based glass cleaner on the buffing cloth when removing glass sealants helps to level them off and avoid ghosting and judder.
I’m getting judder on my Windscreen right now after using rain repellent… so annoying. What cleaner could I use to get it off?
@@uTAPOUT1 I usually find this to be an issue of a dirty wiper instead of anything to do with the rain repellent coating on the windscreen itself. I usually take a little bit of glass cleaner and spray it onto a cloth and clean the wipers. You'd be surprised with the amount of gunk that's on them.
Glad I saw this video. I just bought the sealer but didn’t know about the compound. I’ll pick that up before applying.
Ultra glaco works great for me, as long as the windshield is perfectly clean prior to applying. I'd say the coating it lasts close to a year, and i've done ~9 windshields and a couple rear windows with just the one bottle. Excellent product, absolutely worth the €20 tho i only paid like €8 when it was on sale.
Great John 👍. Looking at using this. So the tips are very much appreciated.
Yeah either use glaco cleaning compound for all, or a machine polish and panel wipe for all. Could also do top half compounded and bottom half of your test panel with just a panel wipe, so we see how much longer they last. Would be a very interesting test, thanks for your videos John.
Great video as usual Jon.
I cant help but feel I'd rather just crack out the cerium oxide and rayon pad at the start of a full detail personally.
Yeah it's messy AF, but nothing will ever get the glass to pristine like it - well, short of calling Autoglass anyway! 🤣
Defo prep with the same stuff. I need this in my life!
Would love to see a comparison to the Meguiar's glass compound and sealant.
If you do a product comparison, then please include Gtechniq G1/2 (with the G4 cleaner). I've been using it for years and very happy with the durability, but could be tempted to move to Glaco for ease of application!
Ace! Interesting product, will check this out 👍
Sweet M4! Nice color choice! I really liked that hatchback you had too, love the practicality of the hatchback but I am sure that M4 is on another level for performance.
Thanks, I had a bad time with h2go so just took it off. The judder and ghosting were dangerous the first time I was out in proper rain. Probably my bad application but I followed the instructions. It was on a brand new windscreen too so no scum to deal with
Clean your wiper blades using wd40 and the judder goes away
Thanks for another interesting video. I've applied Gyeon View to my car it's a slow process cleaning and then three layers of coating. I had a new wiper set and cleaned them with Tire cleaner before coating them as well. I don't get any smearing or judder issues, the question now is how long does it last.
Your car is absolutely loverly!
Used this for the first time today and wish I'd have seen your tip about holding the base so you don't keep squeezing more out all the time! Also glad I read about needing to rinse it off as quickly realised it would have been hell or impossible to buff off with a cloth. However, the results for ease of use are a massive WINNER. This + Bilt Hamber Trace-Less and you'll have no trouble with glass ever.
I've been waiting with baited breath for your glass cleaner showdown!
Interesting product... I wonder how it does compared to using a clay mitt and synthetic wax ( like 🐢 ice)? Interested to know what the pad is made out of? Like you said you don't hear glass cleaners making that noise. Thanks for the squeaks, cheers. Gary 🇦🇺😀
I have been very happy with gyeon quick view however the applicator broke so I have sent it back as the lid got stuck on. It’s been three months and is as good as a week old. I clayed my glass before applying and applied some of the coating to the blades, I shouldn’t have. It juddered badly the blades needed replacing anyway and once the new blades were fitted there’s been no judder. I think dirt, the condition of the blades and how much embedded contaminants are what cause judder. I’m tempted now to get the glaco polish and gyeon. If the glaco is proven to last I would switch up. Looking forward to a glass coating video. It would be great to included a ceramic as a comparison.
I bought this combo on the back of the last video you did on them. I found the compound very difficult to buff off, but then I'm a bugger for over applying things, so that one it probably on me. The repellant was a joy to use though, it went on and buffed off far more easily than rain x. I don't think it's quite as repellant as rain x and I can't drive wiper free like I can with rain x, but hopefully it will last longer. I may try using the glaco cleaner followed by rain x and see how it turns out. Also a word on slickness - I have had some wiper chirp on one occasion and it seems to retain plant matter that lands on the glass, which then becomes trapped under the wipers and my experience with rain-x is that it is a slicker product, which doesn't hold contaminants and debris quite so much. Time will tell which one I end up preferring, but I can see me alternating between the two.
I am going to try this combination. I went down the GTech route (G1/G2) and I have wiper judder with occasional smears. I need to figure out a way to strip the GTech off. The Glaco prep looks like the ticket. Followed by some IPA.
I've just bought my friend Glaco Q which is an all in one (my friend is very lazy) for his M2. I'll apply the first coating for him and see how a cleaner and sealant works in one bottle/applicator. It only lasts 2ish months but considering its ease of application it shouldn't be a problem.
I personally prep my glass with a magic eraser and a claybar, and finish off with a meguirs ultimate compound or any compound or polish, I use a car pro ceramic quick detailer diluted with distilled water to clean the windows and works great each time applying a fresh coat of protection, no streaks with the proper technique, but the main thing that helps is the rainx screenwash, ready mix , with repellent in it , its just a game changer keep the blades lubricated at all times and extends their usability its not cheap but it last for a long time cause you dont need much👍👍👍
The glass compound/polish looks to be cerium oxide with it being water based. I think i need to try compounding the glass first before applying Gyeon Quick View, as i don't seem to be getting great results with it.
I’ve used glass coatings for years Jon. Always liked the effect they leave and now can’t imagine driving without…Gyeon View is the best i’ve tried but yer they do leave ghosting almost always but i don’t mind for some reason - maybe i’ll try the Glaco stuff and go Japanese style haaa ya
I did the same thing with Carplan N1 super gloss and I do get 1/3 to 1/2 of a second of ghosting. With no wiper judder. 2009 Passat estate 129000 miles.
great video..do you have any wiper marks?
tried rainx years ago and never bothered since as it was a smeary nightmare when driving slow and the rain wouldn't clear quick enough so had to use the wipers, just use a good glass cleaner now along with cleaning the blades regularly
Would love to see a comparison between this and the angel wax range of glass cleaners and sealants
I've used this at least 3 years, lasts about 9-10 months for me and that's with hard winters. Also they tell you to let it cure 12 hours without stressing it or letting it get wet
No, they don’t.
“After application, let the coating sit on the glass' surface for 5-10 minutes, then wipe it off with a slightly damp towel or microfiber.”
Direct from manufacturer.
@@Alacrity2021 Correct, and they also state "Keep dry for 12 hours for maximum effect and durability." which is what i meant.
I've just bought Gtechniq G1 Clear Vision Smart Glass, but not applied it yet. Do you think it's worth a review Jon?
Nice E36 M3, I have 2 myself. What are you using for washer solvent?
My favorite is angelwax h2go i just don’t use my wiper blades at all. I always have a bottle of water in my car if it’s a little dirty. Pour it and start driving. At abut 54km/h everything flies off
I have a massive love\hate relationship with glass sealants. They annoy the hell out of me when there isn't enough rain on the glass, so the wipers judder. So I stripped it off, and now I hate not having it, because I can't see fuck all! I thought H2GO was good, and it really is, but the same withing with no judder, I'll have some of that!
Try Valeo Silencio wipers, solved the problem for me.
Hello Jon, loving the content, do you have a video on how to clean the alcantara and the door cards? Is it just warm water? Any response is much appreciated!
hi m8 see this one ruclips.net/video/eTCVxLE3q2Q/видео.html
Never used these glass sealants. I’ve only used Rain-x. Isn’t the smearing from warn or dirty wiper blades. You always seem to get the scum at the end of the wiper sweep and where the wipers sit. Will defo give this a try.
What do you think is better in durability? Soft99 Ulltra Glaco or Gyeon Quick View?
My money is on Gyeon View. Seems to last forever and also includes the prep compound.
I’ve used a couple of them, mainly the Meguiars glass sealant. They say leave it a week after applying it for it to thoroughly cure. Even when doing that and you sprits the windscreen while driving, it removes the sealant. Am I missing something?
Hi John hope you are well. How often should this product/process be applied? What’s the recommendation? Keep up the great work 👍🏼
The manufactur says it can last up to 12 months or around 20k, Kilometers. Here where I live, i apply it spring and autumn :)
Will durability be affected by screenwash?
I do it my way. You should add wax shampoo into wind screen washing tank. And keep spray bottle with the same mixture for wiping windows.
Really surprised Jon doesn't like glass sealants. I've used them for nearly 20 years. I'd use far less of the cleaner, less is more.
Do you have to rinse off the built in applicator pad or just leave it after every use?
Guess I’ll try this after I see how my Itekt nano glass goes though it is a Canadian product
I've been using Stoners Glass Stripper when I need to clean the class without tools. It looks to be the same process you have here.
pan done these not long ago on his channel, I'm a rain -X man but these are well worth ago if their wax is good well these have got to be there
I ditched my Angelwax H2GO to this and it is miles better
Will you ever do review on ez car care stuff
How many applications will it give per bottle do you think
Glaco compound then angelwax h2go will be interesting
What do you use to clean your alcantara wheel?
Jon can I use my usual glass cleaner to maintain it? What do you use for maintenance?
Non abrasive glass cleaner. Or De glaco cleaner sealant to top it up
Morning, any tips on what to use to clean the wiper blade rubber ?
Just some degreaser APC mate. Could use glass cleaner to.
John could the polish be used on the interior glass ?
I use cerium oxide as a deep cleaner on inside.
I've used rain x for 15 years and it lasts and is fantastic. glass has got to be super clean. never had any juddering . just tried the glaco and it smells just like rainx. be interested to see how it lasts. with rain x Ialso use their windscreen wash and use the cleaner rainx combo to wipe the blades every so often .
Yeah I have not seen how these other products are any better than rainx. Rainx lasts a long time too. Especially when you use the rainx washer fluid with it. I can get a big ol bottle of rainx for the price of a lot of these other products
Sounds like you have the janitors set of keys... lol
I wonder if that would hide any small surface chips . My F30 windscreen looks like someone was doing a rally special stage in it. As you also prob know , BMW wipers have 2 settings almost off and supersonic.
It won't m8
Hi have you Wash the windscreen frist or can you use it straight on ?
Covered in vid m8 prep with glaco compound
I'm going down a different route and having windscreen protective film fitted shortly to my M5. I've done sealants in the past which have been ok, but having experienced replaced windscreens I thought I'd try this. Has anybody got any feedback on this? waste of money durability etc?
@Lee Francis Not so much as a sealant but protection from stone chips and damage 👍
I find moonlight works really well on glass even applied it to the living room windows. Can judder on the windscreen though but topping with bh touch-on stops this.
I dilute one off touch-on in a 500ml spray bottle and it works great on glass for many months. Spray on a sponge applicator and spread. Low pressure rinse if done during the wash cycle or buff off. Takes seconds and leaves glass very hydrophobic/slick, really nice to dry on subsequent washes.
This is interesting,how long does it last?
Hard to say as it's ongoing for me, applied moonlight back in November and it had only really degraded on the windscreen when I topped with the touch-on solution in February. No change in 'hydrophobadidity' in the last few months.
I think an easy 3 months on glass with touch-on alone applied as described. So quick to top up aswell and one sachet will last years used like this.
@@fullfatmoojuice35 might have to look into this. I use angel wax glass sealant at the moment
Give it a go, touch-on works out very cheap... More so if you don't have to buy the pack of ten sachets. I have loads left to use up so thought I'd give it a try. I spray it on anything I want a quick top-up on and it adheres well. Just seems to perform best on glass that's either already got ceramic on or is well prepped
@@fullfatmoojuice35 will probably work well on top of my angel wax glass sealant then
I believe the correct technical term is hydrophobiciousnessocity.
Got a link for your home made “glass cleaner” please?
75 Di water 23 IPA 1to2 percent surfex hd
What about Gyeon quick view?
You never mentioned the spray cleaner/top up maintenance product to keep the protection going on & on
They have a dedicated glass cleaner. I have used it on it's own and where the wipers don't run. It lasts over 4-5 weeks easly. So would think it's a good product to top up with. But in the end it will wear down. It's just so much you can prolong the durability from any protection product. And you want to start over and deep clean the glass after 9-12 months of Glaco on your windshield.
a quick spray if turtles seal n shine would do the same in a fraction of the time (and fraction of the cost)
Yea think that the soft 99 is a pre made mixture of Cerium Oxide. But I could be wrong. Have you tried Cerium Oxide ? Look it up if not. Very good stuff.
I find that superfine wire wool and Surfex HD will remove almost anything from a screen
Does it remove sap from a windscreen ? I have tried lots of products and have given up now ...
Thanks
@@stevenhadler9747 yes it should do. It's more the combination of the very very fine wire wool AND the Surfex HD that does the job. You could probably use any good cleaning agent with wire wool and it would work. Another way is to use a blunt-ish blade like the kind from a Stanley knife, hold it at a very shallow angle and skim it across the glass. Personally I prefer the wire wool. Just test it somewhere inconspicuous first.
I would use a third party polish on the glass for the test that way no one has an unfair advantage
Can anyone tell me what containers they are @10:17? please ........ Thank you!
He made a comment about it in a video once. I can't remember exactly what these containers were, but it wasn't anything car-related. It could be that it was some stuff he got off a chemist or something.
Jon was quite happy with them, I recall that.
The video he mentioned these and their origins he was walking us through a bunch of his equipment/setup (could be a video about his new garage setup or something similar).
They are Lab Unlimited Jerry Can, about £45 each
My glass coating failed when the windscreen fluid made it gunky, resulted in new wiper blades
weird science, funny how some things stick in your mind . he doesn't even have a licence Lisa. @3:50
Don't forget the main thing TO DO after buffing the sealant. LET IT CURE FOR 12 HOURS !!! It says on the bottle! That way, it could last 12 months, like advertising. So no wiper blade action, no water, just let it sit for 12 hours.
I guess it's the usual cerium oxide powder .. usually also machinable.
Hold down the wiper stalk for 3 repartitions. It will stop in the middle.
Ahhh you did it
Use mr muscle kitchen degreaser on glass. Really remove the oily film, keep spraying, leaving to soak and some green scotchbrite
It says uploaded 43 seconds ago but the comments are from a month back ? I guess I won't be commenting 1st. Either will 1st from Puerto Rico lol.
early patreon preview :)
@@ForensicDetailing 👍🏻😬😔
Was that a weird science reference?
well its wasnt a whales d1ck honey!
I'm afraid I still don't get them on the front and rear windscreens plus side mirrors that are folded up all night long, ok a big thumbs up for really cleaning the glass but the coating only works above a certain speed so no good in traffic jams, maybe they help on your side windows but just make sure you have good window wipers that are changed more often than most people do.... sorry not worth the hassle. But a great video for those who like them.
You can tell Soft 99 has been getting their wallet out to pay for reviews. They've been around for years and suddenly Pan does a review and now this channel.
It's brilliant!!!
Pans been doing fake reviews for money for years without telling. But John is always up front about payed reviews.
John would have sold out a long time ago if he wanted to.
They’re all over Instagram with their wing mirror stuff as well (which stops working as soon as it gets washed).
Pan is an irritating advert machine. At least this Forensic channel is genuine and unbiased.
Your content is great, your personality is great. But for fuck sake invest in a tripod.
Agree. Great and informative content often spoilt by the style of presentation which is sometimes difficult and distracting to watch. Seems to be no forward planning before pressing the Record button. All the top channels (Pan, Jim White, Sandro, Apex, etc) and even some of the lowly driveway-only detailers use a tripod.
this stuff is exactly the same as the autoglym one
Wiper judder is the worst thing.
Angelwax h2go 👌 absolutely unbelievable stuff, really and truly. Simple to apply, no mess, lasts for ages and great value out of the 250ml bottle. It'll last you years.
This is not for me, autoglym fast glass is a fantastic product. Couple of seconds each time you wash your car, one spray on each window and a couple of extra sprays on the front screen then buff off. Never get any ghosting, smearing or blade judder
Or repellency
@@LSD04 Wrong. you clearly have never used Fast glass
@@chrisyoung5573 😂😂😂 it’s a glass cleaner not a sealant, that’s why it’s in the upcoming GLASS CLEANER TEST
@@LSD04 That is the hole point fella, the glass on a motor vehicle does not require a sealant. Just a GOOD QUALITY CLEANER
John, I think you should follow the manufacturer’s instructions implicitly for all brands. If they can’t supply a pre-sealant product or don’t feel there is value in properly prepping the surface then I don’t think you should use another manufacturer’s prep product. Firstly, it may not be optimised to work with other brands and may compromise the result and secondly, if the Glaco combo is actually the best then just say it is rather than giving other brands a leg up by prepping with the Glaco product. Just my opinion.
Or you could just coat the glass with cquartz 3.0 and it's done
Waste of time
Just got back from waxstock and they had a big stall for this stuff…..I’ve used it a ton of times and it’s great!!
If anything if your drive motorways in wet environments this should be a must. Really helps with visibility and more importantly safety. ⛑
