Best Glass Sealant/Rain Repellent ?

<< < (3/3)

Frodo-anni:
Glad this has been posted, been thinking of adding something to assist with the winter ice forming on screens. The Gtechniq range is alittle confusing  :rolleye:

G1 or the now G5 im lost, rain Ex is ok, but not fantastic.

xjay1337:
G1 is a more long term permanent one.
It's harder to apply.

G5 sheets better at low speeds but is much less durable.

You need multiple layers of G1 on the windscreen to get the durability and effect (same with any sealant product really).

Many people use G1 on the front windscreen as it's more expensive and then use G5 for the side windows.

Ultimately though it's all choice of what you want.

You need to chemically clean the window with an abraisive. Ideally by machine.
Apply a panel wipe or IPA wipedown (strong ratio)

Ensure everything is completely clean.
Then you can apply. Use those make up applicator pads.

Recommend what?
A panel wipe? Use paint preparation wipes and buff off with microfibre after or use Gtechniq panel wipe or CarPro ERASER or IPA in a strong dilution as I mentioned.  :wink:
