Hi Pan, I don’t read Japanese so could you tell me exactly how to apply the Speed & Barrier maintenance spray?

[@pastewax-pk]

@@dannejewell7131 It's a just a spray and wipe product on washed and dry paint. Usually it's a used for the maintenance of Fusso Coat, but it could be used as a standalone product. Soft99 claims durability of 3 months.

[@dannejewell7131]

Thank you so much!!

[@mikemcgurren9407]

I'm a big fan of Gyeon Quick View. I applied a coating to my daily driver after applying a glass polish and prep spray. The application was done last fall and it's performed really well in the harsh Minnesota winter.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

That’s another great glass coating that is easy to apply, good choice Mike!

[@LoneR33GTs]

To date, this is probably the best advice I've gotten from you. I did my windshield and wide/wing mirrors using the Glaco roll-on compound applicator, the Glaco Dekamaru roll-on protectant, and the Glaco Mirror for the side mirrors. I installed it about 5 weeks ago. In the beginning, water would bead up and fly off at about 30 km/h. Then it settled in at about 40 km/h where it really begins to start moving up the windshield. It beads so nicely at any speed really. At 60 km/h the rain rolls up and off the windshield. At 80 km/h, it flies off the windshield. I don't know about durability yet or when I'll do a refresh on it, but rainy season is just getting started here in Southern Japan, so it's already getting a good workout. The side mirrors are fantastic. Normally when it rains, they are virtually unusable. Now, the water doesn't even seem to hit them. Clear as a dry day. There is just a hint of ... I'm going to say, like perspiration on the right door mirror, so I'm going to have to do it/them again probably much sooner than the windshield. That being said, it is probably because I was a little more loos with the prep for the mirrors than I was with the windshield. I'll update this as may be warranted as rainy season continues. Cheers, and thanks again for the great call on the Glaco line of products.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for sharing your experience. I haven't tried Glaco Dekamaru, but if you ever want their best of the best, try the Glaco Ultra.

[@mikegentzke6424]

I applied this on a Chevy Equinox. About 9 months later I reapplied the coating. It was still working but I don’t see my sister in law very often since she lives out of state. It survived at least 3 seasons of Michigan weather including fall, winter and spring. My prep was cleaning the glass with a wax free car shampoo. Then using a DA polisher with clay lube. Next was an IPA wipe. Finally I applied the coating. I was really happy with the results. I did have her fill her windshield washer fluid with Rain X fluid exclusively.

Switzerland here, have been using Rollon Max for about 2 years now, re-appying every 3 months (it could probably easily hold another month or two) and i hardly ever use the wipers anymore. Even drizzle gets blown away at city speeds (50 KmH). Top product. Get it now 😅.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for letting us know!

[@felipe_silve]

I've never tried a dedicated glass sealant, but found that Gyeon Wet Coat applied on glass works surprisingly well. It's more forgiving in terms of not requiring perfectly polished glass. Obviously you'll get maybe 2-3 months durability, but can't beat the ease of application

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yeah WetCoat is a great easy to apply versatile hydrophobics booster for sure. I also love it on wheels for quick maintenance.

[@ronnymb67]

I'm kind of with you on that. I fully understand coating and protecting the paint, I just don't get the obsession with doing it to glass. I know, to each their own. I simply clay bar all the glass including the panoramic roof, every time I do the car. Occasionally I'll use some quick detailer or Seal and Shine on all the glass except the windshield. I used Rain-X years ago for a time, but I didn't like the wiper chatter as it started to wear. It meant constantly having to reapply it. I just got a hold of some No-Touch Glass Stripper, cleaned it off, and never put anything on my windshields again. I've lived in the Northeast, South, and Southwest. I've driven cross country several times in nearly 40 years of driving. I've never felt insecure with how clean my windshield was or how well my wipers worked.

[@stephenlouden480]

@Pan The Organizer unrelated question... I was wondering if you could do a test or share your thoughts on products that you spray on and rinse off. as a detailer I believe this to be a waste of product and not really doing as good of a job as just using them as drying aides spray on wet surface then towel dry to not waste and wash off the product onto the floor. why would it even be recommended to spray a product on and then wash it off doesn't really make any real sense. maybe you could elaborate on a video as it seems to be more marketing than anything..plus you don't get complete coverage just the areas you sprayed. This should be a big concern to detailers and hasn't really been addressed. as a subscriber I know you like to get to the bottom of things and set the record straight so I thought I'd ask

How soon after the first application (Sept. 01,2023) can I apply another layer? South Florida rain and heat. Having some wiper juddering. -Russell Stern

[@PanTheOrganizer]

If the coating is still operating fine, no need to reapply, this can last 10-12 months. I never get wiper judder. Prepping glass prior to the application is crucial. Wash and clay, and then polish using their Glaco compound.

[@nuclearpistachio]

i was wondering if it’s possible (and even worthwhile) to reapply a coat after the curing process? so apply, wipe off and let it sit without getting wet for at least 12 hours. then wipe down with glass cleaner and apply once more, wipe and let it sit for another 12 hours

[@nuclearpistachio]

also i recall in your video, you wiped it off with a dry microfibre cloth and got excellent results. on SOFT99EUROPEs own youtube channel, they use a damp one as the product instructions advise. i think the longevity of this coating on your own test windscreens says it all for that and i will be using a dry cloth when i do it

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I would wait 24 hours if you plan on doing that, but there's no reason to. One coat will last you a very long time as you saw here.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

It makes no difference if you use a damp cloth or dry cloth in my testing. Soft99 recommends a damp cloth to make residue removal easier. But the Ultra Glaco wipes off so easily that a dry cloth works super well.

Thanks for your video! I was wondering - can any leftover compound and ultra glaco be stored after initial use for later use?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I don't fully understand how you prepped your windshield, or what protection you had on your windshield prior to doing the process for the Ultra Glaco. But sometimes, you need a dedicated glass polish (like CarPro CeriGlass) with a dedicated glass pad (made from rayon) to do the heavier polishing, and removal of previous protections. Then IPA wipe with an IPA solution or paint prep spray, to remove polishing oils, and then apply your protection.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

If the bird poop was left on the surface for a long time unattended, and washing the car doesn't remove it, the only way to remove the etching is by machine polishing. And that's also assuming the etching hasn't done too much damage, as it can get to a point where water sanding is needed, or a full panel respray if it did permanent damage.

SudsLab brand review? Or thought on product in general

[@PanTheOrganizer]

[@op3l]

Just a question. If I use this on the windshield and use my wipers, does it remove the coating and lessen its protection faster? Also if left in the sun and in a dusty sandy environment?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

The whole point of having a high performing glass coating or glass sealant is to reduce the use of the wipers. The hydrophobic properties of the coating, when rolling on the roads, is enough to evacuate the water and rain drops with little to no need for wipers. So it's all about wiper control. Obviously, the more you use your wipers, the mechanical friction will wear out any coating or sealant quicker over time. But if you use as intended, this coating should last for 9-12 months. Best glass coating I have tested.

[@op3l]

[@alvin3502]

is it ok to do this on a tinted window? and can the compound be replace with a clay bar?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

The tinted film is on the inside of the glass. You apply the coating on the exterior. Claying will remove some embedded contamination, but won't remove a previous protection if you had some other glass sealant on there. The glass compound is made to not only decontaminate, but also chemically strip any previous glass sealant, as the coatings need to bond directly to a virgin glass surface.

Hi! When are you going to do the fusso coat durability test?

I already spoke about that a while ago. I get 9 to 10 months durability with the new Fusso Coat formula in my conditions. Many of my viewers in more gentle climates report 11-12+ months.

A few weeks ago I had a truck coming in the other lane and he drove in a big pudle of water that he splashed directly in my windshield. As soon as it touch the windshield it was gone and clear.

Hi there ! Used it on my model 3 Tesla with bad auto wiper system. Works pretty well, no wiper utility over 80 km/h. But, there is a bit of white glare (un voile en français) when using them in town. Maybe I should have put some on the wipers itself. I’ll try to re apply it when it will be hotter outside.

[@boris3017]

Reset and G-Wash are crappy. They are waste of money, and time. It all depends of your pressure washer, mostly. The only one ive seen doing a pretty well job, is Restart Wash. But there are tons of crappy shampoos on the market right now. Ive tried like 12, and only 2-3 work depending on the work to be done. I remember i paid a good amount for a bottle of G Ceramic Wash, to discover it’s same shiat as Reset :/ Damn, that bottle was expensive! NanoSkin does better :/

[@davidchui4373]

I lived in Malaysia. Plenty of rain during end year. I applied Glaco in Sep 2022 to both mine and wife car. Absolutely great performance for the past 6 months.

Hi Pan. I have been in touch with Cerakote regarding the Ceramic coating that they sent to me and they have been really amazing. They said that they will replace the 2 bottles as soon as they come up with the reformulation. Two questions here for you: 1) Can the Soft99 be used to protect headlights that i have restored as a sealant like the Ceramic sealant in the Cerakote Headlight Restoration kit? 2) Can I use the Cerakote Ceramic Coating that I have on the restored headlights to protect them the same way that the Ceramic coating from the headlight restoration kit would protect them? Hope these are making sense. Thanks

Good work Pan. I applied Glaco Fusso last november on my girlfriend car. Of course I also used Glaco glass compound before. I'm from Mtl south shore. This car is outside all year and well maintained by me. The results were excellent. Much better than CarPro FlyBy Forte. I'm maintaining with Glaco glass cleaner. The properties are still there at approximately 90%. I loved it. However, I'm planning a refresher soon with the same stuff, can I apply another layer of the coating directly over the existing one without using the compound first?? Many thanks and keep up the good work!!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Ideally you would fully wash, clay, and remove the old layer with the Glaco Roll-On Compound first. And then reapply a fresh layer.

[@candidobm]

Hi Pan. I’m planning to coat my car with Adam’s Graphene Advanced 60ml bottle. Do you think it worth to coat the whole car, including the glasses, or is it better only coat the paint and apply something like Ultra Glaco on windshield later?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I would prefer using a dedicated glass coating on glass (like Ultra Glaco) as they tend to perform better. So I would use the Adam's on the painted surfaces and plastics.

[@moneytron4143]

What are advantages and disadvantages comparad with Glass Refresh? Both are Soft 99's products aparently for same applications. I am in doubt about which one to buy.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

[@joevanseeters2873]

Thanks for the update Pan. Another technique I find works well for those who wonder about using glass cleaning products on the glass coating. I use a glass cleaner from a company called Mannet's which is a lesser known detailing company. They have a fantastic glass cleaner that actually repels fingerprints with some sort of additive but it works incredibly well on coatings for glass also. Those newer glass cleaners (with the Si02 component added into the glass cleaner) also work really well and then top up the coating every time you use it, thus actually extending the life of the coating. Some argue you could then get the properties of that particular infused cleaner, etc etc. etc. etc., but I have never noticed any change in the performance of the coating itself when using a ceramic infused glass cleaner over the top of it. I have Polishangel RAIN 9H on it right now but I plan on trying this GLACO ULTRA as soon as I need to buy more product.

[@Mike_Spina]

Thanks for the update, Pan!! Does spraying windshield washer fluid damage the coating at all?

[@boris3017]

You remind me something… 🤭 When i bought my car, it had that liquid and stinked stained the vehicle. I did empty the reservoir, pulling the lever, by intervals. Then a gallon of distilled water to flush out residues; New half gallon of distilled, some Gyeon Glass, fulled with water 👍🏻

[@PanTheOrganizer]

My pleasure Mike. And no the coating doesn't get affected by windshield fluid or glass cleaners. But if applied properly, you shouldn't have to use your wipers or washing fluid much hehe.

if I don’t use my wiper … fair weather car … would u use Cerakote Paint Coating ie 5 years or Glaco Ultra … interested in best durability … wash car once a week April to November in Nova Scotia … love the channel

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Cerakote doesn’t claim 5 years. And it didn’t do well on glass, so we have to wait and see if Cerakote hears the feedback and works on an updated version. Ultra Glaco is the best DIY glass coating I have tested. It easily lasts 10-12 months in my experience. But like for any glass coating, the more you use your wipers, the more you wear down the coating due to friction. So managing your use of the wipers is important. Welcome to my channel.

Hey pan, im having issues with applying the coating, in humid and cold weather. Im a mobile detailer do i dont have the luxury of a controlled space. The coating is very hard to wipe off and leaves ghosting/high spots. And if i level them completely, the coating itself comes off. This did not happen in summers when i coated my own car outside.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I never applied in the cold, but one thing is for sure, don't apply any type of coating in temps below 50F (10C) and ideally you want to be closer to 68F (20C).

[@josephrhoades2464]

Sir, while I do like the rain sheeting performance of a good glass coating, my biggest problem is bug residue. I'm in Mississippi and bugs are a nearly year round problem. Ever coating I've tried has just allowed bugs to smear, regardless of the washer fluid used as well. I haven't tried the product you used yet. May I ask your thoughts?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I don't have such issues where I live so it's hard to say, but no coating will prevent bug guts from happening. What they do is make cleaning them much easier, as they stick less to the surface.

[@IMikePlays]

I'm from the Philippines and I'm using MTX's Stainz Out and Stain Guard on our vehicles' glasses. The longevity of it really depends on how much the car is taken cared fo. We have one which is daily driven and always exposed to sun and rain and it lasted for 4 months, it also was used with a few different products that are mismatching of brands so I think that affected it as well. We have another that is used weekly and gets rained upon as it doesn't have a roof but is shaded and the product is still there after 6 months but you really do notice it degrading in performance. Lastly, we have one that is used weekly as well and is always under a roof if not in use and the product is pretty much still like it was applied yesterday even though it is already 6 months as well. All of the cars are washed 2-4 times a month.

I get very similar effect by just treating the glass with the same SiO2 paint sealant I use on the rest of the vehicle. What is the point of using a dedicated glass coating?

Not all paint coatings can be applied on glass. And usually, a dedicated glass coating performs better on that surface. But for sure, if you have a versatile paint coating that can be applied on glass, that’s also fine.
