Silicone based products like the rainx always have better repelling power initially but it quickly drops off compared to fluorine based such as the ultra glaco. You need to apply rainx very frequently to enjoy its initial performance.
This is true. I've used both and my Rain-X bottle still has a bit left. For Rain-X, I'd have to apply maybe once a month at least, or once every two weeks if I wash my car regularly. Since I've switched to Glaco Ultra, I haven't needed to reapply it onto the windshield. It's been half a year and it's still beading like it's new. The only downside is, when the old coat of Glaco is no longer beading, I need to remove it with glass compound before reapplying a new coat of Glaco Ultra. Still beats having to reapply Rain-X regularly.
Tried both and prefer Glaco... seems to last longer, and do not have wiper issues... think the wiper life is shortened with rain X and it makes loud noise too....
From what I've seen on the glaco it works best when driving not when stationary which makes sense considering you need it to work while you're moving. How is it while driving?
Glaco is best one, when you applying Glaco almost immediately you wiping (cotton cloth only) other way is hard to clean up, and on applicator they say Do NOT use microfiber cloth witch is taking back your stuff from the window , I am using Glaco for couple of years and is best working for me, when driving in the city traffic, no need to use wipers on high speed at all, raindrops going away from windshield them shelf, as they said is one year performer, and is truth, regards from Australia
You used glaco ultra which lasts about a year (confirmed after using it in my cars). Rain x is more hydrophobic but it lasts about a month tops. A fairer comparison would be with glaco roll on which is designed to be more hydrophobic and lasts a couple of months.
I love seeing these kind of tests, but you really need to strip the windshield of debris and contaminants to do a glaco protectant justice. I've tried both of these products, but using a auto gym glass cleaner just isn't going to get the base layer of chum off the windshield for the proper glaco to bind.
Not sure it’s worth comparing the products on the windshield when the car is stationary. I’m only interested what happens when I’m driving, and when I’m driving I prefer Glaco Ultra on my car and Glaco DX on my van because I generally drive slower in my van 👍🏽
Glacco Glass Cleaning Compound Use it before you apply the glass coating The compound is amazing and removes everything No need to clay bar Videos on RUclips show you how to use it.
Rain x let a temporay milky appearance on the windshield after the wipers are on and it almost do not happens with glaco. Specially noted during the night.
Extremely well wrung cloth. Hard to get right. I found that using a wrung out cloth followed by a dry cloth worked well. Left me with glass that looked amazing. It took me a few attempts before I worked it out and it’s definitely more difficult to get right than all these YT videos make out.
Well in my experience it lasts longer than Rain-X, but perhaps isn't as hydrophobic. The problem I run into is very long rainy periods where it's never a good day to re-apply the Rain-X. @@MDrives Another interesting test is comparing brands in how they do with frost. A window that's never had a hydrophobic coating is *much* harder to clear of ice and frost. Fresh Rain-X makes it much, much easier and I presume that other products help too but I haven't really done that test.
Have u notice that glaco has more beads its hydrophopic.. It only shows its better than rain x... Driving in rain is much better with glaco coz this repels more rain better than rain x... At low speed like 50km glaco repels way better than rain x....u need higher speed for rain x to repel the rain. Hosing the glass does not tell the whole story unless u drive it into the rain.
I had it on a car for a long time and looked for the differences at different speed. Unfortunately there was no noticeable difference between the two in my case.
I only clean my windscreen during summer when I get insects on it. I use quick glass from Autoglym. Other than that I don’t wash it apart from when I wash my car which isn’t too often.
Estava em dúvida entre os dois. Mas acabei indo de Glaco. Espero que seja duravel. Ou se não, pelo preço por aqui no Brasil não compensa. Vale mais aqueles de posto de ficar reaplicando.
@@xXManiacoXx é um bom produto sim. Mas esperava mais. Não sei se por ter usado outros produtos antes, a ancoragem ficou prejudicada. Pois noto que com pouco uso, algumas partes no vidro ficam deficientes. Quero testar o Rain-X agora. Dizem que tem um resultado melhor, mas em menor tempo. Exigindo mais aplicações. Mas se for fácil a aplicação, não será dificil realizar.
@@rodrigowmp Tem que descontaminar o vidro antes, senão dura menos. Faz toda a diferença. O caminho das pedras com 3 produtos : -Glass Refresh também da soft 99.

@@MDrives za dobrze rozumiałem angielski :D zamówiłem już glako i chyba zaczynam żałować, ale z drugiej strony używałem RainX tylko bez przygotowania szyb (na boczne i lusterka i bardzo krótko trzymało). Teraz zamówiłem zestaw glako czyścik + niewidzialna wycieraczka. Radzisz zwrócić glako? Dodam, że nie rzadko jeżdzę po autostradzie, raczej miasto więc prędkości do 100km/h
@@mariusz231 Glaco powinien wytrzymać dłużej. Znajomi mają i trzyma się bardzo długo. Nie wiem dlaczego u mnie nie trzymał się dłużej niż rainx. Ja by raczej zatrzymał. Będziesz miał go na lata.
@@MDrives Yes RainX hinterlässt starke Schlieren beim Wischer Glaco macht das nicht. Und Glaco hält viel länger. Das Roll On ist aber für die Frontscheibe besser.

Thank you for this info.
Excelent answer. I bought a big glaco and noticed it. In other liquids I noticed greater repellency, but it seems to be more durable. still in testing
And silicone based product let a temporary milky appearance a bit longer after the wipers pass on the windshield, specially during the night.

A pilot friend told me to use Pledge. Works at low and high speed. Easy to apply. Easy snow and ice removal as well. Smells nice too.
Thanks for letting me know.

Rain x will look better initially but it dissipates so quickly… like In just a few weeks.
How did these hold up over time? I dont see an update video. thanks
Where's the updates??

Good to know!
no they very smooth and super quiet, no problem at all
No need to wait before wiping glaco?
@@rapbaluyut5778 you can wait a bit, is depend what is temperature when you applying
i wipe with microfiber.. not cloth, its not optimal?
The glaco you used is made for higher speeds not just stand still, and last a year and rain X last three weeks
Rainx defo lasts longer than that.
I use Turtle wax polish and it works brilliantly
same .. i use the turtle wax ceramic spray, works just as well.
With rainx when i was using the wipers it didn't go smooth and here was noise and little haze. How is it with the soft99 ultra?
You used glaco ultra which lasts about a year (confirmed after using it in my cars). Rain x is more hydrophobic but it lasts about a month tops. A fairer comparison would be with glaco roll on which is designed to be more hydrophobic and lasts a couple of months.
Thanks. I’ll look into that.
Glaco states clearly that it’s designed to be used at speeds over 45km/h for the regular formulation. Testing on a stationary car is almost comical.
I did test it on the road. There’s a long term review on my channel.

I think you might be right. I will try to test it again but buff the windscreen first.

I would like to apply rainX to the wiper
Glacco Glass Cleaning Compound
Use it before you apply the glass coating
The compound is amazing and removes everything
No need to clay bar
Videos on RUclips show you how to use it.
Great. Thank you for advice.
Watching this in my car at 80mph and it’s raining in England and I have used the wipers once, it’s just flies up over the car - Rain X
Hopefully not driving it at the same time 🫣
Loves to know how the wipers work with them. Which of them will judder…
Rain x let a temporay milky appearance on the windshield after the wipers are on and it almost do not happens with glaco. Specially noted during the night.
You'll need a well rung wet cloth to wipe off glaco. I learnt it the hard way in the first time😂
Extremely well wrung cloth. Hard to get right. I found that using a wrung out cloth followed by a dry cloth worked well. Left me with glass that looked amazing.
It took me a few attempts before I worked it out and it’s definitely more difficult to get right than all these YT videos make out.
Have you considered Glaco vs. Aquapel or are they essentially the same?
Hi. Tbh I never had an experience with Aquapel. Would you recommend it?
Well in my experience it lasts longer than Rain-X, but perhaps isn't as hydrophobic.

Thanx for the Vid. Was looking update Vid, do you have one??
Hi. I have it all filmed but didn’t publish it yet. Will be out in next 2 weeks.
@@MDrives Looking forward to watching it, Thanx!!
Is there a one year update for these two products?
Hi. Yes. ruclips.net/video/i8-ZYXLhUcs/видео.html
i assume rain x needs to be reapplied after car washes? is glaco immune from that?
Hi. No. You don’t have to, it will stay on the glass easily for about 2 months. Then you re-apply.

You would still have to clean your windshield , once a week , twice a week or once a month ?
What kind of cleaning you are asking about?
@@MDrives Just your normal cleaning , window cleaner and microfiber towel .
I only clean my windscreen during summer when I get insects on it. I use quick glass from Autoglym. Other than that I don’t wash it apart from when I wash my car which isn’t too often.
Very nice test... and thank you for it. I have a question- You have a very strange accent...where are you from
Hi. I’m Polish 😉
English is good don't worry
I don't think you let the glaco cure long enough. you are supposed to let it cure.
It started to rain after 12h after application.
This reminds me; i need to re-apply the rainX to my windows.
I need to do it too
Any updates?
Wow the rain X looks way better at this stage
It does! But it doesn’t count for much when the car is stationary, it’s all about when you are driving 👍🏽
GREAT VID. RAINX IS FINE SHORT TERM.
I use rain X brilliant stuff found it cheapest at Asda
Yea until is last 2 weeks or 3 lol
I’d be laughing if I get more than 3 weeks with rain x. 2 months is crazy
Hmm, I think it stays there for longer but it definitely loses its 100% effectiveness
É realmente isso que vc explicou eu faço com o glaco é 1000 x melhor .
Estava em dúvida entre os dois. Mas acabei indo de Glaco. Espero que seja duravel. Ou se não, pelo preço por aqui no Brasil não compensa. Vale mais aqueles de posto de ficar reaplicando.

?
Glaco all day
I think I need to try it again at some point
You didn’t apply glaco correctly so that’s why 😊
How should I apply it?
