Man you know you did a good detailing job when random passer-bys take time to take shots of your car :D
It’s only then you can pat yourself on the back!
The nuber plates help also 😊
@@CarCleaningGuruI usually deliver to your neighbour.. always nice to have a nosey at your motor 😊😉
@carcleaningguru
I used the same Towels as yourself and found they linted all over the glass even after thoroughly washing them. Have you come across this problem. The glass was clayed and was spotlessly clean.
Thanks.
It really is a head-turner 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
"...the raindrops really get a move on at 40 mph plus, allowing you to confidently pass any windscreen wiping peasants while yours remain neatly tucked away" 🤣 I gotta hand it to you CCG, you always have a way with words! Your content over the many years has never diminished in the slightest!
Those seagulls seemed to be getting excited about the shine off your glass aswell 😅 great video as always and had me in stitches.
I've been using the DE Cleaner for about a year now - and I absolutely love it. It definitely extends the life of the coating. Would highly recommend!
Your car detailing skills are second to none. Your editing is first-rate, and your dulcet tones in the commentary are perfect. In addition, watching your videos is so relaxing I swear my bp drops. Cheers, mate, for what you do 😊
Was going to get this stuff a while ago but wasn’t too sure. You’ve explained and shown how to use it pretty thoroughly and just ordered the kit.
It’s so satisfying to have the car finished and looking perfect and completely protected. I generally use G-Technic’s glass sealant but I will give this a go. Cheers. 👍
Nice episode with a beautiful finish on the glass! Also, enjoyed the dash-cam shots. I thought we were the only ones that have goof-bag drivers.
The wax job has comtinued to make your car look lush and honestly that glass cleaner is pretty impressive. Might have to get myself some for the lil suzuki swift after the wettest summer of our lives.
Love those funny little dash cam shots. She was well impressed with your car!
I’ve watched this video maybe 3 or 4 times. Thanks for producing these clear, concise videos with lots of great footage. I finally got around to buying the glass cleaner and using it - amazing product that I wish I’d discovered for my cars 10 years ago. Will definitely try the repellent next once my bottle of rainx is depleted!
Editing + application is top draw👌🏼.
Glaco products are awesome & very good value for the money.
Love both of these products and use them on my van I use for work ,absolutely brilliant products and would recommend anyone to try them
I've used these two products myself... epic, and can attest to the longevity of the product's effects
Wow. Impressive detailing and products! I'll def give it a try.
I've found Glaco set few weeks ago and applied it on my car 2 weeks ago. The hydrophobic effect is awesome and over certain speed you don't need to use windshield wipers! Definitely recommend this!
Yeah and rain-x has been doing the same thing for 50 years now....
@@davidsmith2650rain-x has always let me down. It doesn’t seem to last more than a couple weeks
Do the wipers make noise now? I have read that some coatings cause the wipers to make noise as the clean
@@davidsmith2650 Rain-X, however, is only good until you use your wipers for about... 20 or 30 minutes, then it's only about half as good. It needs to be re-applied regularly, especially if you have to use your wipers during low speed travel. For highway speed it's fantastic, no wipers needed no matter how bad the deluge (well, mostly).
ANY kind of coating on a window is temporary. If you use wipers at all it wears it off very quickly. I can make an application of rain-x last 6+months by never using my wipers. If there is morning frost, pour warm water on your window to melt it. Never scrape, never wipe, don't touch them.
this was a really great video, mate. thanks!
Thanks for sharing, some great information in the video regarding the product 👌
OK, that convinced me... Bought the kit to give it a try.
There was a product like this in the mid 1990s. My dad had it. Loved it during a heavy rain storm on the freeway with the wipers off while everyone else had to pull over and drive slow.
Love Glaco, got a saloon so handy for glass with no wipers!
Normally I skip long vids or at least fast forward to the bottom line but I stayed to the end because it was very well done. The ending was very cool & I liked the jazzy music 😊
I use Glaco on my glass really pleased with it
Excellent job as always 👌
Just ordered Glaco Just ordered 👌
Great video again, been looking for something like this to have a pop at my 15 year old A3 glass which is sadly looking its age! Added this to the list, thanks mate
First time viewer! Great video and really makes me feel I can go do this myself!
Based on this, I forked out for the SOFT99 Glaco DX and couldn't be happier. It might be a bit pricey but the results speak for themselves. Works great on bathroom mirrors too!
Awesome little car and awesome product!!!
Swipers of smut! 😂 love it.
Top content as always 👌
Nice vid guru
Great detailed information. Appreciate it. Thanks.
Great video. Just bought the Glaco kit for my two VWs. Thanks for sharing!
Great kit! Amazing results on one of my VWs. Remember to use that damp cloth folks when taking off the sealant.
Great video and love the new look of the channel. Any personal comparisons with RainX? Keep up the great work mate
Been using soft99 for years & glaco. Always restock when I’m in Tokyo but great videos as always
great review. Just bought all 3 products to try
Best combo imo been using them for awhile now
I'm so excited to see people start using these products, I coat every car with this and have a hard time driving without it in the rain. I personally highly recommend going with 2 coats, (or even 3 on the windscreen), makes the product last a bit longer, but it has a strong hydrophobic effect for much longer.
How long have you found 1 coat to last you?
Been using glaco/soft 99 for a couple of years now. Excellent products for a nice price.
Great video man!
Griots Glass sealant is the easiest to apply, is very cheap and beads water like crazy also works with the wipers causing no chatter.Been detailing for 30 years now.
Great fun watching this. Keep it up, please!
Convincing... Just ordered a Glaco kit. Appreciate how informative your videos are. 👍🏁
Did it work or just more youtubers shilling medicore products via paid adverts?
Love your Channel ❤
From the US !
That soft 99 is good stuff 👌
Lovely video. Would definitely give glaco a try
I would LOVE to try it. My black car will appreciate it!!
Beautiful car! Thanks for the video :)
Great job, mate Give our kid a wave next time you go through West Kirby he's about 4 houses on the left up the hill past the station
I'll have to give this a try on my Jeep!
I use this and it's amazing
My 17yr old glass sparkles at the mo as I’ve just washed it and put it back in garage as I’ve a new toy to clean now,will definitely be looking at getting this product,I use that invisible glass cleaner works a treat I reckon then gyeon wet coat over the top just beads like mad
Glass exfoliation… I like it!
Loved this, and how good is it to see some youg'uns liking an older car 😊. Quick question, did you have any issues with the compound making a mess of the paintwork? All the best. 👍
your videos make me want to buy every single product you feature hahaha
Mine has been on 6 months & still working perfectly
Looks like another Great product Joe and no doubt I'll be breaking the piggy bank open again, gotta say thank you for an earlier review you did on Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Graphene Acrylic Trim Restorer used it on my 9th gen civic and the front scuttle and wheel arch trims have never looked so good really appreciate it thankyou
Great review. For anyone reading this, I don't care whether you use this product, Rain-X, or some other brand product, just use something! This products increase safety for you immensely.
im impressed
The best glass sealant is the quickest to apply as they all don’t last as long as you would like them too so being able to quickly re-apply is the way to go.
1 gallon of Rain-X wiper fluid is $2.99. You can reapply even when its raining. Just spray the washer fluid and spread it with the wipers.
Hi Joe, loving the montages at the end, absolutely brilliant. I've got a GTechniq coating on my glass which works well but causes my windscreen wipers to judder. I could be wrong, but once the novelty has worn off, I think that a lot of people prefer to be windscreen wiper peasants, after all.
I had similar. Did you apply any of the coating to the wiper blades themselves?
@@jakepocock1616 I did indeed, but didn't stop the judder. I should add that these are Bosch wiper blades, the big floppy ones. BMW OEM wipers are fine and don't judder but don't perform quite as well. I probably should by a new pair but am being stubborn (AKA stupid) because I bought the Bosch ones for their better performance.
Make sure you clean your wiper blades too. I use magic eraser pads which are melamine and these remove all the stuff clinging to the wiper rubbers that can contribute to judder.
Blinding job there joe, it certainly stands out from the crowd when hi viz takes photos of the crz👍 did you visit wax stock this year? Now I have seen this I’m in favour of buying soft 99 products for my Honda civic sport r 😎.
I miss when rainx was this good
And their windshield wipers were really good as well.
That looks like it does a really good job. Would that first step after initial cleaning also help to remove water spots?
Just applied to my truck. Will have to see how it gets on.
First time viewer. I'm very impressed with your diction and vocabulary. I can tell you are a well read man.
Or I always have the thesaurus handy 👀
@@CarCleaningGuru Humble too. Now you're just showing off :)
I had a bad experience with these products. The felt pads are just about useless. The compound left spots that weren't polished, had to go over those spots a few times. Then when I used the glass sealant, the same thing happened, it left spots that weren't sealed. Even going over the areas two -three times. Finally I ripped off the felt applicators and used a little cloth that comes with ceramic coatings and that worked perfectly. With that said, we had heavy rain yesterday and when I came out to my car the windshield was totally dry as if it hadn't rained at all. So I'm very happy with the products just not the felt applicators. ty
When I worked at a car wash out of high school, I could always tell who never covered their mouth when they sneezed, who had a tissue, who picked their nose, ate in their car, sang along with the music, what they typically drank, if they had a lot of women in the car, what kind of shoes you wear, if you smoke, where's your change, what kind of lotion you use/shampoo/perfume or cologne, a lot from just sitting in the front seat of your car
Loved that montage at the end mate that should be a regular feature for the views. Get the dashcam loving crowd in here (we all are really ). Going to give this stuff a go.
Yeh just takes a bit of time to collect enough clips but won’t let them go to waste from now on. If you missed it there’s a longer one at the end of the diy wheel refurb vid.
@@CarCleaningGuru Awesome bud will deffo check that out shortly must of missed it as my Subaru wheels are falling apart and didn't want embarssed 😆
You take better care of a car than a mom with her baby! Awesome video, thanks
The best rain repellent I used was H2GO. I went overboard with the cleaning stage, prior to the application. I then followed exactly to the letter what the instructions for application were. It lasted absolutely ages, far longer than what others were saying and I was getting the repellency at about 15 mph so less than the 20 mph stated. It was amazing. I put it on a new car that I asked not to have cleaned or waxed etc. Maybe that helped, as well as the preparation. The only negative was the rubbish bottle that it came in. It broke easily and leaked, wasting a bit of the product.
I’m going to try this on my Civic ✌️👍
Cheers mate. Going to do this to my Tesla
Would be an easy sell as an auto glass technician, people would absolutely love this on a brand new windshield.
Beautiful crz mate
Just needs supercharging!
Didn't expect to see a CRZ in this random youtube video. Nice!
Sunroof, Mugen kit, two-tone, and a remus exhaust! She's a true beauty.
Just needs some power to back up the looks!
Excellent job as always. Will this product remove watermarks from the glass as well?
haha loved the dashcam footage.
I'd just like to show appreciation for the phrase "cack handed cross contamination" 😁
Good. Carry on.
Wish we got this product in South Africa. It looks great
I love the glaco compound and used it with the ultra glaco coating and that lasted a good 9 months with the occasional de cleaner top up. Trying out angelwax h2go next
applied this some time ago and its amazing. the dirt just doesnt stick to the glass....1 month in of terrible weather and the glass is still spotless.
interesting that you applied yours like i had, post wash...so glass was wet when doing the compound. Seems like many do this on dry windows... but ive done both, and thus far see no difference in the durability of the coating.
Nice review, thank you for this. My car is coated with Gtechniq CSL… do you think I can use any of the Glaco products over my ceramic coating as an extra protection/helper for the ceramic coating?
I’ve been using autoglym glass polish and rain x hydrophobic coating for over 10 years now to achieve basically identical results. Is this Glaco product substantially different in terms of performance or longevity?
Did you experience any wiper judder (not that you'd need to use them much!) after applying the product?
what did u say.. .after 4 weeks not washing your car? it looks brand new... my wifes car looks after two days like she drove the fking paris dakkar in two turns
Great video and review. I am curious though how this compares to a proper ceramic coating?
This is neat, I have always used toothpaste as my decon then a polish to finish. Almost never use the wipers and when I do they are silent when in use. Peace!
Sounds like it would be worth a go on the MX-5 and since that has so little glass I could probably do the Land Rover too, would be interesting to see how it fends of bugs and bird nuggets. The Land Rover windscreen still has a bit of Raptor overspray dust on it so the compound would be handy to clear that up.
I'm curious how the product behaves when using your actual wipers, in my car any trace of any hydrophobic product on the windscreen and the wipers immediately squeak and on shudder to a major extent. Not sure if this car just applies ridiculous pressure to the blades but my previous car was the same.
This was a very entertaining choice of wording! 😂
Anyone remember ducksback? I still have some boxes somewhere.. squeeze to break the glass then cover.
Also dodojuice supernatural glass sealant was my favourite, although rather difficult to apply initially.
This is unbelievable! If you dont mind me asking, how long does it take for me to reapply? Is it within 6 months or 1 year or 2 years?
Not only did I enjoy the presentation of how well the Glaco rain-repellent works, but enjoyed listening to the narrator's accent and clean articulation of the english language. Good job mate!
After cleaning my car, what's better to use for spot cleaning water spots or door trims: diluted shampoo or a detailer spray? Thanks in advance for your advice!
nice video, shows off the products very well.
I use soft99 products for years on my car and am never disappointed, i use the original fusso coat (old formula, 12 month one), stocked a few cans of it before it was no longer available, i am not even sure it matters but i dont like to change things that work very well for me :)
I’ll be featuring their latest 12 month wax in my next vid…
I would love to know what you think of car pro’s fly by forte kit. Love from France !
I love Soft99, I use it on my car, Fusso, Kiwami, lux gloss and the creamy soap and thats on you! I havent tried the Glaco you put on, i have the "older" one and thats quite good as well, ill give this one a test. Have you tried their polishing compounds?
Car guru - first time using dx. Love it. Got 3 months but its dying. How to i strip the remaining dx? I have surfex, fairy, AG glass polish and panel prep.
What would be your strategy for re applying
Great video, a question, except for price is there a reason you would choose to use this instead of a ceramic coating on the glass?
Gyeon ceramic spray does exactly the same as this,also its x2 faster,apply to a washed wet panel,rinse,dry,done.
I'd probably recommend wiping the glass compound off with a wet microfiber to get the excess off first, rather than pressure washing it. It goes EVERYWHERE! Still find residue from from making that mistake months ago 🤣
