Let It RAIN!!! Griot's Garage 11033 Glass Sealant! Is It Wort The Time, Effort, Money?

[@apexdetail85]

We have a lot more glass sealants, coatings and repellents to showcase...such as Aquapel and many more!

[@kenstephensvideos]

Can this perhaps be applied to the wiper blades as well?

[@gkiferlt1]

Awesome to see, IMO Glassparency is very difficult to beat. Just wish it were available to the public

[@bigd9848]

I have Adams glass sealant on my car.I like the way it repels water 💦 You Don’t need to turn on the wipers going 55.✊Great review Brian 👍🏻

[@ognenmancevski]

Please review Soft99 Ultra glaco rain reppelent. Thx :)

[@1semiauto]

I have rain-x but I think it came off in 2 weeks in this heat. Looking at othees

[@MyGuyKirby]

Thanks for giving this review, I have used it for over a year now on my three cars and many of my friends. I like the tip of using the magic sponge to help clean the surface, and yes prep is just as critical on glass as on paint. I too have found the same problem on doing the double coat on the front windshield. I cheated on a customer's car and just used Speed Shine, it worked great to remove that stubborn last haze. One point for all viewers, the double coat is only recommended on front glass. All others can be just a single layer. Wipers NEVER squeak but then too I clean the wipers on a regular basis. This works a long time for the mere 8.99 cost and one bottle will do many applications. I have tried Aquapel and it is a good alternative but it has a few issues with being only once per instructions. IGL Glass coating is ready to try next in my cycle but need to get a new windshield first (large crack due to flying rocks). One thing to remember with this and all other glass products. When it looks like they are not working, remember to clean your glass soon. Bug splatter slides and removes easily but if in a rain storm the water will cling to anything and refuse to fly away. So if you are expecting another day of rain go ahead and clean the glass the night inside the garage. Then the next day the product will work just like new. If not, all that spray from the road has left the oils and grime on the glass even if your wipers were used. I rarely use mine with the GG Glass Sealant.

[@J1Z06]

I prepped the glass similarly to how Brian did in this video on our '99 Odyssey which is always outside and doesn't get washed during winter months as often as it should. 10 months later,Griot's Glass Sealant is still going strong!

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

This is an absolutely fantastic product and it’s cheap. I have it on all my cars and put it on all the cars I Detail.

[@roguegeek]

This is my favorite glass protection. Super cheap, super durable, and really easy to apply. I don’t know why it isn’t talked about more over something like Aquapel which is really durable, but probably one of the hardest products I’ve ever found to work with. Glad to see you found GG Glass Sealant as well.

[@daves.3278]

I use turtle wax ice spray wax it last such a long time! Went to a road trip everyone was like woah you don't need wipers!! I'm like I know 😎😎

[@mokokoco4720]

I just applied the product and messed the step up on to apply the second coat while the first coat is still there. I’m not going to lie, it came out super great and I have never seen so much clarity from my windows. This product is amazing and I don’t know why nobody is talking about it

[@josephjimenez1460]

👍great review, thank you 🙏for all the great videos n info. we kno its not ez to do a video, let a lone how fast u produce them.Salute

[@millerdetailing4176]

Nice review and definitely agree with you on the magic eraser .

[@98270360]

8 months and still beading good. 3 strip washes in 1 day and still beading good. This product holds up surprisingly well. Wipes off crystal clear for me. I did have major wiper chatter, so bad I almost had to cancel my fishing trip. You pretty much need to use something extra heavy duty to get this stuff off the glass. Dupli, Alcohol, glass cleaner. Nothing works. Maybe if you keep at it or more dwell time, but this product is not joke.

[@Lumpy007]

I did this per the instructions and it lasted all through our very hot summer. Lasts waaaay more than Rain X.

[@jackemerson1171]

I've never really thought much about sealing the windshield since garage kept - but interesting for sure. Thx as always

[@reeb9016]

It's for repelling water when you *leave* the garage.

[@richardseem7948]

it's truly awesome u and ur son workn 2gether. probally only time I've seen u apply any product directly onto the surface. (yes I watch every video)lol.

[@nicorallysport]

meguiar's perfect clarity glass sealant works great this way too. After having decontaminated and cleaned the glass well, spread a coat of glass sealant, and after having a nice mist spread a second coat. Wait 10 to 30min depending on the temperature, and wipe with a damp, warm microfiber. It works wonderfully, a beading of madness. And I like if I have the courage to repeat a second time which makes a total of 4 coats. And it's chemical resistant. From time to time I clean it with meguiar's perfect clarity glass cleaner and that's enough to clean without damaging the protection, or even better with meguiar's D115 rinse free wash and wax which cleans and regenerates the hydrophobic effect! Sometimes a small topper like meguiar's D156 x-press spray wax

[@AutOdometer]

Thank you for this video. Mine comes in the mail tomorrow. As well as some of the glass polish, rayon buff pads, glass cleaner, and window towels

[@c6z061]

Another great video - thanks Brian!

[@TheSwitzAutomotive]

Brian congrats of 40K... on your way to 100K+ subscribers.

[@apexdetail85]

Just getting started!

[@ryanbrown918]

This may be a dumb question, but why not clean/polish the glass, then spray something like TEC852 on the glass? Every wash would boost it, as it can be used as a drying aid as well. I personally have gotten better performance from this technique vs applying a legit glass coating like CarPro FlybyForte.

[@apexdetail85]

Ryan Brown it is a great option.👍

[@LJM2stepspain]

Watching this kind of drove home rinseless washes for me even more. I'm not crazy about leaving that winter road grime/salt on my paint; and sometimes its just too cold to run to the coin-wash. I went to a drive-through car wash like 2 years ago one time and cringed the whole time only to be comforted knowing I'd polish in the spring that year. But surely a rinseless done in a garage or with warm-water on a day without wind would do far less damage to the paint than a drive-through wash. Also allows one to top up with their choice of protection.

[@bigd9848]

Excellent review of this product ✊

[@nachomandetailingservices1057]

Looks like it did good job! Impressive

[@bfielder9097]

I don't know why Griots Glass Sealant doesn't get mentioned more often. It's dirt cheap, easy to apply, reasonably easy to remove, (way easier than Aquapel) good clarity, good water beading and decent durability.

[@FABAutomotiveDetailing]

B Fielder It’s a fantastic product! I use it all the time.

[@juliankyle2518]

Appreciate the review I’ve looked at this before but was skeptical about durability. However if it can hold up to a auto car wash it’s a win in my books.

[@LKN4WAR]

What cleaner was used with the magic eraser? Will any glass cleaner or apc work with the eraser?

[@Carlos.Rivera]

Not gonna lie... i cringed on the car wash part

[@apexdetail85]

Carlos Rivera as you should.👍

[@CAPTJ696]

Wouldn't be half bad if tunnel was Hand wash instead...even hand wash sometimes leave swirl trails.

[@danlc95]

Muddy cars always have runoff from the seams and wheel wells. Even with all the rinsing of the wash media, there is always sand, grit, and/or rust particles stuck in the cloth and to a lesser degree foam. The old school bristle brushes didn't hold that stuff, but they were never lubricated enough for gentle finishes.

[@glennfell2462]

Did you polish the car after to get scratches and swirls removed

[@clintbrummo6982]

Hi Brian, love your videos and have learned a ton from you. I like RainX, but would like to find something a bit more durable. I am considering this and Adams glass sealant. Any thoughts on which performs better? Thanks, CB.

[@aquarianuw]

Did the wipers chatter after the installation of the sealant? Mine did....

[@Knards]

What about regular sealants you use on the paint? Are the sealants really that different? When I do my car, I just put Jescar powerlock on the windows at the same time I do the paint

[@apexdetail85]

MrMrwilson11 I do the same with Sio2 sealants.👍

[@dillongreen1045]

In my experience it works well until it rains and the wipers start skipping and it pushes a line of product up where the blades stop when they wipe that's with wax and sealants anyway I'm guessing that's what these products have figured out is how to keep it on the glass with blades wiping on it

[@reginaldpeterson6190]

Apex Detail is master sealant topped with rapidwaxx once every month or two on the window OK? I have the Griot’s garage Glass sealant but if I can remove one additional product that would be great!

[@martin82557]

This works well; however, on my brand new truck, I found the wipers were vibrating/grabbing on the glass in the rain. I am going to use wax instead - and use the rest of the bottle in my shower glass.

[@marcuscassius312]

Aquapel in Canada winter is amazing. Difficult to remove.

[@Boogyman337]

When driving into sun light in the am does it have a terrible glare like Rain X??

[@THutch556]

Great review. Looks like this product did well, overall is this the one you recommend or do you have a different favorite or recommendation? Thanks Brian.

[@apexdetail85]

T Hutch when it comes to durability as a sealant... this is tops. More to come.

[@hachiroku7443]

Griots say the sealant be need to wash and cure after 24-48hrs at lease and you can apply second coat after it cured.. you can use their fine polish and use polisher for a better result and bond to the glass. All the videos you can watch in their youtube channel what he did here were a bit contraindicate with the griots video on how to use their selant product plus the fine polish and how to layered it. It was like their 3in1 ceramic wax you needed to cured first the first layered then apply second coat after 12-24hrs without getting any water or any chemical to properly bond in your paint.

[@cesarchihuahua9356]

I usually buy a good car wash for Windows, clay, and then use a good sealant like turtle wax seal and shine, or nanoskin nano shock sealant. This is still a great review

[@DonaldMelton]

would this be something you could apply to the inside to prevent the windows from fogging up ??

[@coochiecrook7120]

How does it compare to Glassparency?

[@garycarr6584]

were is your shop.. i live in NE Ohio.. be nice to stop by

[@Abc-tu9ry]

👍👍👍. I’ve never thought using magic eraser on the glass but I’ll give it a try. Will the magic eraser’s abrasiveness not hurt or scratch the glass?

[@apexdetail85]

Everyday use...absolutely. I just use mine before coatings or sealants....harmless.

[@tonymattisson6158]

Great video and review. Hehe the swirl-o-matic was a nice touch to make us all cringe LOL The exact same application with Turtle Wax Clear Veu glass repellent. As it's with GG Glass Sealant. Would be fun and interesting to see a comparison between the common water repellent products in a match up. Maybe on loose window with different testing on them. Chemical resistance and abrasion resistance and the water repellent ability. A blowdryer could be what the wind are against the moving vehical. Just some thoughts

[@trevosride]

Hi can you tell if it works like defogger also?

[@apocalypse487]

Can you do one between P&S Bead Maker, Gyeon Wet Coat, Aqualpel, and this? Maybe with Glassparency. P&S is easier to use than Gyeon since it can be used after cleaning up the glass.

[@ricksanchez514]

So whats better this or rain X?

[@j5ritzema]

I'd like to know too! Especially since Rain X is quite a bit cheaper for me, and available locally everywhere!

[@apexdetail85]

This is a bit more durable...but more involved to apply

[@edwilderness]

Two years ago, it was Griot's Garage One Step Sealant that was recommended, but not necessarily for repelling water so much as just to seal the glass inside and out. Is this a better approach? Thanks.

[@apexdetail85]

A bit more durable.

[@ArjjunSingh]

How long would this last compared to rain x? Is it worth the extra 10 bucks?

[@jasonlang7793]

Thanks Brian. Have you tried Carpro Flyby forte? If so, what are your thoughts?

[@apexdetail85]

Not as of yet.

[@Will-ii1dy]

This sealant and rain x seem very similar. Are there any major differences?

[@apexdetail85]

RainX is quicker to apply...but this is more durable,

[@bryanpieper2333]

Hey Brian. Great video. How would you compare this to the Polish Angel coating you have applied in the past? BTW, the POV angle was pretty cool. You should do that more often when applying a coating or sealant in the future.

[@apexdetail85]

I was not impressed with PA. I tried it on 3 cars and....average.

[@1989pulsar]

I personally like Meguiar's PerfectClarity Glass Care Kit.

[@stimpynguyen4419]

Is this product similar to their one step glass sealant ? Which one would u recommend ?

[@apexdetail85]

This is a bit more durable.

[@genysmenrunner1677]

Brian if you have waterspots, Do you polish out them? I have experienced that a protection doesn’t bond as well when those are present. Can you skip the polish when it is ceramic glass coating?

[@apexdetail85]

Yes...with meguiar's water spot remover.

[@genysmenrunner1677]

Apex Detail with a pad or just microfiber?

[@mikeyp2447]

Great video...I will stick to Rain X

[@richardvacanti4265]

Can you please please put seal and shine vs a entry level ceramic coating. Technicians charge has one for $39 and so dose p&s for $99 dollars. Me and some of my older friends are waiting to see a video like that. It’s beating all the spray on coatings so it’s time for us to move up to the heavyweights. Let’s go seal and Shine

[@chadj8349]

I clean my windows with American detailers garage wipeout or Adams ceramic waterless wash. Looking forward to the other videos because this product is too much for both application and removal.

How about this against, say tw seal and shine?

[@vsanchez1993]

What do you guys recommend for protection for common leather seats (Toyota, Honda, etc)? I saw in one if these videos he used a sealant, would turtle wax seal and shine be safe?

[@apexdetail85]

Gyeon Leather coat or shield

[@vsanchez1993]

Apex Detail thank you for the recommendation. In your opinion which is the best combo for sealants: Colinite 845 with Jescar Powerlock Or simply turtle wax seal n shine?

[@gamiteman]

Whats the longest lasting class coating that you've found? That's my gripe with rain-x, is that it doesn't last in the winter. I suppose the coating with the most chemical resistance is what I'm looking for.

[@Piglet6256]

you said a cure time of 2 hours before getting it wet, but doesnt that go for a wet towel aswell then. Didnt you just remove most of the stuff when wiping over it with the moist towel??

[@thatsjimmii]

I applied it while it was lightly sprinkling outside today. Waited about less than 5 minutes between the 2 coats. Wiped it off and then it started raining harder. It still worked exactly the same. I guess the durability might've been compromised a little, but I won't find it for a while

[@danlc95]

You should see how tore up those cars get. We've had customers that would come through daily - with black vehicles. Even the boss... He usually bought silver vehicles, but in 2011 he got a black Lincoln. He had it in the sun one day, and the sides were grey and dull. Our 21" rocker brushes were bristle, and under lubricated. When the happens, the filaments leave a "waxy/plastic" deposit on the finish that severely dulls it. Like many of our customers, it was a lease, and anyone that has a lease vehicle, seems to care very little about the condition of their paint.

[@LSD04]

[@Lierbal]

Thank you for sharing this info! Brian, do you have an opinion about the Optimum Opti-Glass coating? I've been using that on customers' cars for a while now and think it works well, but I've been wanting to try GTechniq G1 and the IGL glass coating. Do you think the IGL product is more durable (from wiper blade abrasion, chemical resistance) or more repellent than the offering from Optimum or GTechniq? Maybe in the future you could do some more side-by-side comparisons of glass coatings similar to what you do on paint? I loved the comparison you did recently with a couple glass products.
