Nice one Jon. Recently bought the Glaco Ultra but haven't had a chance to use it yet. Looks like I made the right decision in getting it! 👍

[@archiepezek]

I applied the Ultra Glaco to my car's windows about a month ago and so far, so good. Application was easy and water behavior is what I expected. Also Jon, the link you provided shows the product to be sold out.

Nanolex Urban Glass sealant is what is use. Been on Windows 18months still on there, even on windscreen. No wiper judder either. Quite expensive but worth it.

Guys, Jon, the felt pad on your glaco compound actually lifts off so you can thoroughly wash it clean of paste between applications 👍

[@vasilisk8208]

Hello John, do you think Ultra Glaco would be stripped by using Carpro Decale as decon wash. Planing on ceramic coating my vehicle but currently have Ultra on the glass which is performing very well and want to save it.

[@rafiqsiddiqui3434]

John , I think Ombrello should be on your list of candidates. Easy to apply and lasts about 20k miles

[@ToshYusaf]

I have both the Glaco’s When you run out of the black one, the applicator can be used to hold your other sealants (like Angelwax H2Go) and it’ll stay airtight. Just pop the mushroom off with your thumbs. I don’t mind the Glaco not lasting a full year, they are so easy to apply and buff

[@ForensicDetailing]

the force is strong in you Tosh :) Join me on the dark side and we could rule the universe!

[@ToshYusaf]

I love a good applicator!

[@djmandrick]

Maybe apply it to the windscreen then put go pro inside mounted centrally. Film it from the inside with hosepipe chucking water on it on each setting yours has, turn the wipers on to see what the simulated driving experience would be at each stage. Then you can edit a side by side to show degredation/sheeting at each stage? Just a thought.

[@TheMattHarwood]

When you do the final test, can you rig up a fan, to show what speeds these start to work at. My daily drive to work never exceeds 50mph, and is often below 40. Some of the glass sealants I’ve used, don’t work very well at, or below these speeds, so adding a speed test, would add a very informative chapter.

[@SuperJapierdole]

Ultra glaco just for the application only is a solid contender. I did all the screens around and it was a brisk. Party trick is it will wipe off just like a good wax - two swipes and is 100% off. Zero drama. It took me maybe 20mins for side and back, hand-polish with a mild glass polish solution, wipe, prep, wipe, wait few mins to evaporate, glaco it, wipe. Simple. You can do a car around with glaco and still it will just wipe off perfectly. Will see how it sticks on a side windows. Expecting lifetime ;)

[@TheLegocar]

For testing... I'm thinking a cheap pillar drill with a squeegee / wiper blade fabricated so the drill spins it at low speed against a glass sample panel (about 6" square) You could set a fixed height stop to ensure repeatable pressure and run each sample for a set amount of time... You could even use the same setup for future videos with a polishing pad to test the aggressiveness of abrasives...?

[@andrewmurdoch2335]

Can I suggest that similar to the Glass Cleaner shoot out, you get your friends to give you their user experiences as it seems to vary a lot from person to person when it comes to having a positive experience with a windscreen coating 👍🏻

Hi Jon I have an Audi A3 - 71 plate, and I applied Gyeon Q2 QuickView and had serious wiper bounce, removed this and applied glaco ultra and same again, both times I applied it to the wipers and removed it from the wipers only for the same result, now I have removed it from the glass and wipers and have bounce free wipers, I had an Audi Q3 and it worked Very well so was disappointed when I tried it again and it didn’t work, will use it up on side windows so not to waste it.

[@garywebster6453]

Bought the one in orange bottle. Once dry, i had a mare of a time trying to buff it off. Couldnt move it unless i breathed on it then wiped it. Like trying to remove old fashioned t cut.?i got it, see you say use a damp cloth, i was using a dry one. Ill try again.

[@m1a9v6s4]

Hi Jon love your channel, been thinking of trying Glaxo for a while now after watching your vid will definately be giving DX a go. Also could you possibly do a demo about how to jewel polish your paintwork? Cheers Mick

[@ForensicDetailing]

yer to do a jeweling polish really you want to take an ultra fine finishing polish (Scholl S40 or Menz SF3800) on a really soft pad like a flex red or rupes white or scholl black waffle and just slowly do another polishing set. Its a lot of extra work for tiny gains but thats detailing for you. I think I have one in the tank on this.

[@m1a9v6s4]

Soft99 have 3 glass coatings. 6 month glaco which comes in an orange biscuit style applicator and these 2.

[@lmSteveo]

Did you make a comparison video yet?

[@marklewin541]

Found the Ultra applies nicely and buffs out fine, but when you use your wipers you get a haze and see the strokes where you applied it. Waiting for it to rain to see how it is

[@marklewin541]

So after being on the screen for a couple of days, you can no longer see the application pattern, and no smear with the wipers. This repels rain so well you don't need to use the wipers. Be interested to see how ice/snow react to it

[@user-mj9gz8gb5j]

Hi can you use this on privacy glass

[@Justin-ny6un]

Can you incorporate a test/results for the speed which they start working? Isn’t the point/marketing of these products to reduce wiper use and increase visibility. When they don’t start working until 40mph and 80% of your driving is city 30mph. You don’t get any real benefit and just wear it off with wiper use. There will obviously be a difference between vehicles and the rake of the windscreen, but it would be nice to know which one works at the slowest speed.

[@lumpymash]

Nice video. Temperature range for application ?

[@ForensicDetailing]

oh jesus I think like 7 to 25 deg should be ok mate.

[@johng753]

Add Nanovations Vision Protect glass coating to the test candidates. I believe it’s made in Australia.

[@allymacmillan7986]

Never again for me. Tried Ultra first, suffered bad wiper judder and smearing when wet. Fitted new blades, still juddering. Coated the new blades with Ultra, still juddering! Removed it completely with Rupes Blue DA compound and then the Glaco compound, leaving a completely smooth and hydrophilic screen. Thought I would give the the DX a go, fitted brand new blades again, lo and behold, juddering! The irony is they judder when the screen is slightly wet, and are smooth when it’s dry! Never again.

[@JamesDriver-ik7xw]

I also had wiper judder and removed DX. Not fit for purpose on the front screen.

[@JamesDriver-ik7xw]

DX is easy to apply and is hydrophobic but made my wipers judder. I’be removed it now because it’s not fit for purpose for the front screen. Going to try a different brand.

[@2226cc]

Been after Glaco Ultra for some time now. Any stores that will ship this internationally? My local Soft99 distributor doesn't carry any Glaco. I even checked ECP, but unfortunately they won't ship Glaco Ultra.

I got ultra glaco on my car but as i do city drive more often i will try glaco dx as it works at lower speeds.

Lower speeds is definitely a must have for me. If DX lasts for 4 months that’s good enough for me. I’ve been using AngelWax’s H2Go that works well at low speeds, but it’s only good for 1-2 months.

Hi Jon, Would you be so kind (to think about) doing an Anti-Fog product test in the future? I'm sure some viewers are driving older cars or classics without AC (or a faulty AC) and fogging up of the inside windows can be a real pain in the ass, especially now during the fall and wintertime. Still looking for that holy grail to combat fog, as most products seem to leave some kind of haze or smears on the glass and make things worse. Thanks! :)

[@billconiston8091]

@@ForensicDetailing would be good to see a comparison of these products as they have such wide ranging reviews. Perhaps a test including Tac, Gyeon, RainX, carpro, etc?

[@ronalddewinter]

@@ForensicDetailing Re: "you just stick the old demisters on". That's good old rationality talking here my friend, not something we in the detailing community are particularly known for now is it? ;) It's like saying "you just use the wiperblades" instead of a glass sealant or "you just stick to one wax". If four people get in the car with a wet jacket on after a rainshower, it will fog up quickly no matter what. You ideally want to prevent fog from forming in the first place, instead of treating the problem with a demister or blower and wait for it to clear. A lot of the big brands have anti-fog products in their lineup (Gyeon, Carpro, Soft99, Sonax, Stoners, Rain-X) but none seem to work completely as advertised. It would be a nice chance to use the steamer on the glass and make for a fun video... :)

One to note for these my might be an interesting one for you to review is anglewax clarity.. it's a screen wash but maintains coatings on the glass..

I really rate it as the maintenance.

I scrubbed the glass with the dedicated cleaner and put Glaco DX on yesterday. The glass is visibly clearer and spotless, no hazyness and buffed off relatively easily with a misted damp microfiber after leaving for 7-8 minutes, as it was cold outside. Its definitely hydrophobic as we had a light rainfall last night and it beads up like a freshly waxed panel. Now I'm getting horrendous wiper judder which is going to drive me mad.

I have to say that this Glaco product, like most products that go onto any windscreens is bad news. Terrible smearing after using this product. I cleaned and reapplied and got the same results. I personally would not recommend this, or any similar product that claims to help disperse water from your windscreen. The smearing that you get from them just makes it harder to see , especially in winter. Stick to a decent glass polish and you won’t go to far wrong.

[@ForensicDetailing]

its all in the prep. Ive just applied both of these today. the glaco compound is critical. then the sealants go on, once its cured and the wet buff is done the final dry buff must get you to a clean clean finish. when you do that they work well. Then leave them alone. glass polish on its own will leave the glass totally hydrophillic. ill show you the difference soon with just glass polish in one section verus these sealants in real life rainy conditions and you can see if Im getting any smearing. another good tip is use a hydrocarbon cleaner like cleanser fluid on the wipe blades after you do this.
