Glass was covered in old silicone wiper fluid residue and nothing I tried shifted it cleanly. This cut through the whole lot in two wipes. Followed straight with Glaco repellent and the beading is exactly what it should be.

Clean Glass. Properly.
Strip everything that stops repellents from bonding
Oil films, silicone deposits and wax residue do not shift easily with a general cleaner - and when they stay on the glass, your water-repellent coating will not bond evenly or last. Glaco Glass Cleaner is formulated specifically for this job, cutting through those contaminants and leaving glass chemically clean and streak-free before you pick up your Glaco repellent.
Why It Works
Purpose-Built for Glass Decon
Not just a spray - a formulated prep step for serious detailers.
-
Targeted Decon Formula
Cuts through silicone, oil film and wax that general cleaners leave behind.
-
Zero Streak Finish
Leaves glass optically clear with no smearing at any viewing angle.
-
Better Repellent Bonding
A chemically clean surface means Glaco repellents bond evenly and last longer.
-
Safe on Tints and Seals
Safe on factory and aftermarket tinted glass and rubber seals when used as directed.
How It Compares
Glaco Glass Cleaner vs. a General Glass Cleaner
Most general automotive glass cleaners will handle light dust and fingerprints. Where they fall short is on the stubborn contamination that causes water-repellent coatings to fail - silicone, oil film and wax residue. Here is how Glaco Glass Cleaner stacks up.
| Feature | DetailerSA | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Removes silicone and oil film residue | Yes | No |
| Streak-free finish on glass | Yes | Yes |
| Formulated to prep glass for repellent bonding | Yes | No |
| Safe on tinted glass and rubber seals | Yes | Yes |
| Removes wax contamination from glass | Yes | No |
| Works as a standalone maintenance cleaner | Yes | Yes |
Safe and Streak-Free
Optically clear results on every glass panel
Whether you are prepping the windscreen before a road trip or cleaning all the glass on a full detail, Glaco Glass Cleaner leaves every surface optically clear at any angle, with no smearing or residue. Safe on tinted glass and rubber seals, it fits naturally into any wash and prep routine.
Reviews
What our customers say
Zero streaks, even in direct sunlight. Packed well and arrived quickly from Detailer SA. Exactly what you need before laying down a repellent.
Good degreaser for glass. Needed two passes on the windscreen where old wax had built up along the edges, but after that the Glaco Ultra bonded perfectly and has been holding well.
Questions
Frequently asked
How do I apply Glaco Glass Cleaner?
Spray directly onto the glass surface and wipe with a clean microfibre cloth in overlapping strokes. Buff off immediately with a dry microfibre. For heavier contamination - thick silicone residue or layered wax - a second pass on the same section will ensure the glass is properly clean before you apply any Glaco repellent.
Is this safe on tinted glass?
Yes. Glaco Glass Cleaner is safe on factory-tinted and aftermarket-tinted glass when used as directed. It cleans the outer surface without affecting the tint film beneath.
Can I use it on rubber seals and window trims?
The formula is safe on rubber seals when used as directed, so incidental contact during normal application is fine. Avoid saturating seals or trim unnecessarily, and work section by section to keep application controlled.
Why do I need a dedicated glass cleaner before applying a Glaco repellent?
Silicone, oil film and wax residue are the primary reasons water-repellent coatings fail early or bead unevenly. A general all-purpose cleaner rarely strips these fully. Glaco Glass Cleaner is specifically formulated to remove exactly those contaminants, giving the repellent a chemically clean surface to bond to.
Can this be used on its own as a regular glass cleaner?
Yes. It works well as a standalone glass cleaner for regular maintenance, leaving a streak-free, optically clear finish on windscreens, side windows and rear glass. You do not have to follow it with a repellent every time.
How many applications can I get per bottle?
Coverage will vary depending on how heavily you spray and the size of the glass panels. The source does not state a specific volume or coverage figure, so exact application counts are not confirmed. In general, a light, even spray across each panel followed by a wipe is all that is needed per pass.
Does it work on side mirrors and rear windows as well as the windscreen?
Yes. It is suitable for all automotive glass panels including the windscreen, side windows, rear glass and mirrors. The streak-free formula means it leaves every surface optically clear regardless of angle or light direction.
Which Glaco products work best after using this cleaner?
Glaco Glass Cleaner is designed as the decon step across the entire Soft99 Glaco repellent range. Using it before any Glaco water-repellent coating ensures the surface is properly prepared, which directly improves how evenly the repellent bonds and how long it lasts.
