Uber water repellence
At Relentless Auto Details one of our most requested services is glass coating. Sometimes we only do the windshield and sometimes we do every window on the vehicle. The process of coating car glass typically involves thoroughly cleaning the surface of the glass to remove any dirt or debris. Next, a quick polish and then the coating is carefully applied to the surface using a specialized applicator. The coating should be allowed to dry and cure for a certain period of time before the car can be used generally a couple of hours with full cure occurring within 24-48 hours. It is always a good practice to avoid rain and using your windshield washer for the first few days while it cures.
The coating is designed to provide a range of benefits, including:
- Protection from scratches and chips: The coating can provide a layer of protection to the glass, helping to prevent damage from rocks, debris, and other hazards.
- Water and dirt repellency: A coating can make water and dirt bead up and roll off the glass more easily due to the hydrophobic qualities, reducing the need for frequent cleaning and making it easier to see in wet weather conditions.
- Improved visibility: Coatings can also help to reduce glare and improve visibility in bright sunlight or at night.
- Ease of cleaning with just water and a microfiber towel
Overall, glass coatings can provide a range of benefits to glass surfaces, including improved durability, scratch resistance, water repellency and visual clarity which can help to prolong the lifespan of the glass and make it easier to maintain over time and easier to see at night or on bright sunny days.
