Soft99 Glaco Mist Type: Glass Water Repellent

Make sure the glass is clean, decontaminated and completely dry before you start. Mist the product evenly across the glass from about 20-30 cm away, then leave it to flash for 30-60 seconds. Buff off the residue with a clean, dry microfibre cloth using light circular strokes. For best results, apply a second coat immediately after the first is buffed.

It is designed for automotive glass - windscreens, rear screens, side windows and door mirrors. Avoid applying it to painted surfaces, plastic trim or rubber seals. It is safe on tinted glass. Do not apply to polycarbonate headlight lenses as the solvents may cause hazing.

Under normal daily-driving conditions you can expect the hydrophobic effect to hold for one to three months, depending on how often the vehicle is washed and what cleaning products are used. Harsh alkaline shampoos will shorten durability. Top up whenever you notice water starting to smear rather than bead or sheet.

Yes. Any moisture on the glass during application will dilute the product and prevent it from bonding properly. Work in a shaded area or indoors if possible. If the glass has just been washed, dry it thoroughly with a clean microfibre drying towel before applying Glaco Mist Type.

You can top up with Glaco Mist Type over an existing Glaco or compatible glass sealant layer as long as the surface is clean. If you are working over a fully cured nano-glass coating, test in a small area first - some coatings benefit from the additional layer, but others can become uneven if the base coat is not properly clean.

Coverage depends on glass area and how many coats you apply, but a single bottle will typically treat the front and rear windscreens of two to four vehicles with a two-coat application. Side windows and mirrors use less product per panel, so the bottle stretches further if you are only treating those areas.

A freshly treated windscreen may cause slight wiper noise until the coating fully settles, which is normal. Run your wipers a few times on their first use after application. Properly applied and fully buffed Glaco actually reduces wiper drag over time because the glass surface stays cleaner and slicker. Smearing usually means the product was not fully buffed off during application.

Apply at temperatures between roughly 5°C and 35°C. Avoid applying in direct harsh sunlight on hot glass, as the product can flash too quickly and leave streaks that are difficult to buff. Cold glass can also slow bonding. Working in the shade with glass at or near ambient temperature gives the most consistent result.
