  • In this video I will be reviewing Griot's Garage Glass Sealant. Glass sealant is designed to repel water to improve visibility in the rain. It works so well you will hardly ever use your wipers in the rain.
    I was highly impressed by this product and recommend anyone watching this to buy a bottle. This is not a sponsored video!

    I have been getting a lot of questions on how long does it last. This is my first time using the product I don’t know how long it’ll last but I will make update videos. This is also a review video not a comparison video.

      I would love a longevity test. Maybe do half your windshield in typical rain-x applicator and the other half of the windshield with this Griot's and see the difference a week or two later.

    I am glad you enjoyed the results, it works so well. I have been using it since last August. I have switched from Adams to Griots based upon cost and performance. To make this go farther try using less on the applicator, you used about three times more than necessary. Second tip is only one coat on side exterior glass is suggested. Those have no wiper rubbing it away. It will still be working for 2-3 months but remember to clean the glass especially after pulling into the garage after the rain storm. This sounds weird but just like your paint the windshield collects all that road grime spray. If allow to set overnight the grime then adheres same as does on your paint. Then next day with or without wipers the water will not roll off easily once you hit 40-mph. It will shed but not the same as if you had cleaned it off. Try that test on your next rainy period, driver is clean but not the passenger side. As to bugs hitting the windshield, it works like a slip-n-slide. For the record I use Aquapel on one car windshield but it might last longer but the cost and coverage is a second to GG Glass Sealant for the price. This should not be allowed on your paint, take caution and wipe off if gets on paint. Sam and Nick did a Friday live video on this and covered application tips, wish I could find it again. Keep up the videos, enjoying every one you do.

    • @FABAutomotiveDetailing

      Kelseigh Rois Even when using to heavy coats like I did you still use hardly any product. I did 3 cars and a truck with it and the bottle is still over 3/4 full. I believe they have you layer it for durability. I used to much in this video. I watched Griot’s video on this product and they added a lot to their applicator so that’s what I did. You don’t have to add that much and I didn’t when I did my vehicles.

      Kelseigh Rois - If you looked at standard (used) windshield glass through a microscope, you'd discover something quite amazing (actually, the same goes with the glass of quality optic photographic lenses! www.shineprowindowcleaning.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/diamond-gelsight-768x576.jpg ), so my guess is - that by applying the coating the way showed in this video, you might just achieve the ultimate 'covering' of the myriad surface 'irregularities' - making the glass surface as 'plane' as possible with the help of the product used! . . . . . .

    GE made one of, or THE, original product like this and dropped it when childproof caps became required, because the original caps couldn't seal the stuff in. The GE product worked great, but RainX rotted my rubber wiper blades. So I'd want to know if this attacks rubber or silicone or other wiper blades.

  • @sushigaming101

    Rain x and Aquapel or any other sealant has the same compounds. Isopropenyl for cleaning any residue so that it can stick, silicones for keeping the sealant stuck to the windshield, and polydimethylsiloxanes for actually creating the low surface tension that repels water. The silicon compounds filling pores in the glass also helps.

    • @errornamefieldempty8614
      @errornamefieldempty8614 5 років тому

      Rainx carrier is predominantly isopropyl alcohol and acetone. Aquapel uses a different distillate as a carrier. Just based on carriers alone. Additionally, application of rainx best when the carrier flashes off leaving the thin coating of silicones whereas Aquapel should not be allowed to dry before removal. They are very different products.

  • @barry7413
    @barry7413 5 років тому

    I would hope this works better than RainX. The problem I have with RainX is it doesn't work very good below about 40 MPH (not enough airstream to blow water away) nor does it work well in fine mist, like that from what tires throw up after a rain. It also builds up where the wipers overlap and my wipers never clear the glass in that area. To be most effective here in the S. FL sun, it needs to be applied about monthly. I need to figure out how to strip it off and reapply on a bare section.

    • @FABAutomotiveDetailing
      @FABAutomotiveDetailing  5 років тому

    I've been using Rainx for years. All these products use an acidified alcohol as a water repellent. If you use a paper towel or just plain microfiber cloth instead of your microfiber covered sponge, you will use a lot less of the product. It typically lasts about 3 months for me and as far as ice sticking to glass, I've haven't noticed any difference.

      My biggest issue with rainx is the smearing at night as it ends it's life span. I've not tried any other products, as I've had so many bottles of rainx it's lasted me years, but allegedly other formulations like this griots glass sealant don't have the smearing issue. I assume the products are very similar, and I'd like to grab some eventually to try out. Just to see if it does alleviate the smearing issue, because that's really my only complaint with rainx.
