People coat their paint and skip the glass. But the glass is what you look through every time it rains.
- Protected glass sheds rain at speed.
- Spots and bugs stick less.
- Clean with Spotless X2 first.
- SFX1 works on glass in minutes.
Why glass benefits most
You look through glass, so anything on it affects what you see. On protected glass, rain beads and blows away at driving speed, so you rely less on the wipers. Fewer drops drying on the glass also means fewer water spots.
What protected glass does
- Rain beads up and blows off at speed, so visibility improves in wet weather.
- Water spots have a harder time sticking.
- Bugs and grime come off more easily.
How to do it
What you’ll need
- Spotless X2
- SFX1
- Glass towels
- Microfiber applicator pad
- Nitrile gloves
- Eye protection
- Remove the spots first. Clean the glass with Spotless X2.
- Apply protection. Mist SFX1 on the glass and buff it clear with a clean microfiber.
Spotless X2 is a strong acid cleaner: its Safety Data Sheet lists it as causing severe skin burns and eye damage. Wear gloves and eye protection, keep it off your skin, and read the label before you start. Every sheet is on our SDS page.
Buff glass extra well. Any leftover haze on a windshield is distracting, especially at night.
Buffing glass clear
Glass shows haze more than paint. After applying SFX1, buff with a clean, dry glass towel until the surface is perfectly clear, then check it from inside the car. Any leftover haze is easiest to fix right away.
Common mistakes to avoid
Protecting dirty glass. Clean first.
Leaving haze. Buff until clear.
Skipping the side windows. They spot too.
Using a paint towel on glass. It can streak.
