Keep glass surfaces cleaner for longer and improve visibiliity
Using a glass coating will give the glass surfaces hydrophobic properties allowing them to repel dirt to keep them cleaner for longer. It will also repel water giving you better visibility while driving in wet conditions.
01. Shampoo
Remove stubborn dirt and grime
Before using a dedicated glass cleaner it is worth removing as much dirt and grime as possible with a shampoo. This will make using the glass cleaner more effective providing you with a clear, streak free glass finish. If you are going to clean the whole car don't forget to use the two bucket wash method.
