Rain hits the windscreen and just rolls straight off, even at lower speeds in traffic. Two coats made a noticeable difference compared to the single-coat result I tried first.

Fast Glass Protection
Spray on. Sheet off. Drive clear.
Glaco Mist Type turns a glass sealant step into a two-minute job. Spray it on clean glass, give it a flash, buff with a microfibre, and that surface is pushing rain off at motorway speeds. No pad, no fuss, no separate applicator to clean afterwards.

Buffing needs a bit of attention - if you leave it too long before wiping it gets streaky. Get the timing right and the finish is clean and clear with solid beading.

Ordered through Detailer SA and the packaging arrived intact with no leaks. Sprayed both front and rear screens, and the first proper rainstorm afterwards was a good reminder of why I bother with glass sealant at all.

Simple enough to use mid-detail without breaking your workflow. Slick, clear finish and water sheets off the door windows cleanly - mirrors especially make a difference in the wet.
Questions
Frequently asked
How do I apply Glaco Mist Type?
Spray directly onto clean, dry glass from a short distance, allow a brief flash time until the product hazes slightly, then buff off with a clean, dry microfibre cloth. There is no need for a separate applicator pad. For best durability, apply two thin coats, allowing the first to flash before adding the second.
Does the glass need to be decontaminated before applying?
Yes. The glass should be clean and free of grease, water spots, and residue before you apply Glaco Mist Type. Any contamination left on the surface will prevent proper bonding and reduce durability. A dedicated glass cleaner and a clay bar or iron fallout remover will get the surface ready for the best result.
Is it safe on tinted windows?
Yes. Glaco Mist Type is compatible with all standard automotive glass, including factory-tinted glass. It forms its hydrophobic film on the outer glass surface and does not interact with the tint film inside the glass.
Can I use it on side windows and mirrors as well as the windscreen?
Absolutely. The spray format makes it easy to treat side windows, rear screens and door mirrors - surfaces where beading performance directly improves your visibility in wet conditions. Mirrors in particular benefit noticeably from a treated surface.
How long does the protection last?
Durability depends on wash frequency, wiper use and driving conditions, but applying two coats gives the best longevity. The compact bottle is sized for glove-box storage, making it easy to top up the treatment as needed without having to redo a full decon step first.
Will it reduce wiper blade streaking?
Yes. One of the key benefits on treated glass is that wiper blades glide more smoothly across the slicker surface, which reduces drag and the streaking that comes with it. At higher speeds, rain sheets off without the wipers needing to work as hard.
Can Glaco Mist Type be layered with other glass sealants or ceramic glass coatings?
It works best applied directly to bare, clean glass. Layering over an existing glass ceramic coating is generally not recommended, as the coating may prevent proper adhesion. If you are maintaining a vehicle that already has a glass ceramic applied, check whether the ceramic is still performing before stripping and reapplying with Glaco Mist Type.
What finish should I expect on the glass?
Once buffed off, the glass will feel noticeably slicker than untreated glass. Visually, the surface remains clear with no haze or distortion. In wet conditions, water will bead tightly at lower speeds and sheet off almost completely at motorway speeds, keeping the glass clear with minimal wiper use.
