To avoid this phenomenon, we get rid of water with windscreen wipers, but there is a much more convenient and effective solution!

The integrated felt applicator allows for an even coat to be applied every time, and the product formula makes polishing the residues a mere formality. It offers the same performance as something like autoglym glass polish but os more expensive and harder to use.At CAR, we’ve previously employed Lord Byron to make wiper blades interesting and even the worlds best wiper design - the superbly overengineered single wiper blade on the Mercedes 190E - isn’t interesting. While the Glaco range is absolutely massive and includes everything from simple spray-ons to a little option for coating reversing cameras and mirrors, the two we’re testing are the Glaco Class Compound Roll On and the Glaco Glass Roll On. Allow the product to dry for approximately 5 to 10 minutes, and then wipe off any remaining residue with a slightly damp microfiber.

There’s little benefit to a rain repellent if it’s convoluted to apply or has an insanely long curing time (how long it takes before you can get it wet).The Roll-On leaves behind a slight smear, but that quickly goes away during the 10 minute curing time. In our testing the hydrophobic qualities are clear, rainwater beaded off the windscreen with ease and there’s none of that annoying juddering action with the wipers as seen with cheaper rain repellents. ml capacity, a new shape of the bottle and the same excellent properties that for over 30 years guaranteed Soft99 world leadership in the field of hydrophobic coatings for glass surfaces.

After application, let the coating sit on the glass' surface for 5-10 minutes, then wipe it off with a slightly damp towel or microfiber. There's no getting away from the fact that as a two-step application, it will take longer to apply than a simple repellent, but it will last far longer. We’ve found SOFT99, a Japanese car care company that offers rain repellents that it claims are easy to apply but can offer months of protection from a single application. Thanks to the Fusso technology of fluorinated polymers, it is unsurpassed in terms of durability, giving 12 months of protection, water repellency and resistance to harsh conditions.Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable).
