The flagship of the series, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/soft99-ultra-glaco-scheibenversiegelung-70ml\"\u003eUltra Glaco\u003c\/a\u003e, uses Fusso fluoropolymer technology — the same class of materials that Soft99 also uses for its renowned paint sealants. Fluoropolymers bond at a molecular level with the glass surface and form a chemically extremely stable layer with exceptionally low surface tension. Water cannot form continuous films on this surface but collects into individual drops that immediately flow off with the slightest impulse — driving wind, vibration, gravity. This mechanism is why Ultra Glaco lasts up to 12 months and even withstands regular car washes and wiper operation. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/soft99-glaco-dx-scheibenversiegelung-110ml\"\u003eGlaco DX\u003c\/a\u003e takes a different approach: SARF technology (Strong Adhesion + Rapid Finish) focuses on fast, firm bonding to the glass — the curing time is only 5 to 10 minutes, and the beading effect is intense from the start. However, the durability is a realistic four months. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/soft99-glaco-roll-on-large-scheibenversiegelung-120ml\"\u003eGlaco Roll On Large\u003c\/a\u003e, in turn, relies on an easy-to-apply silicone resin formula that is effortlessly applied with a roll-on applicator — ideal for anyone who wants to refresh it every few months.

Perfect for regular touch-ups with no learning curve. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/soft99-glaco-q-75ml\"\u003eGlaco Q\u003c\/a\u003e is the 2-in-1 product of the series: it cleans and seals in one step — ideal for beginners or as a quick interim solution when cleaning and sealing are needed simultaneously. The Glaco W-Jet even works on wet glass — spray on, activate wipers, effect is immediately active — and is suitable as a quick sealant for on the go. For special surfaces, there is the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/soft99-glaco-mirror-coat-zero-spiegelversiegelung-40ml\"\u003eGlaco Mirror Coat Zero\u003c\/a\u003e for exterior mirrors and cameras (spray-and-dry without wiping) and the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/soft99-glaco-blave-kunststoffversiegelung-70ml\"\u003eGlaco Blave\u003c\/a\u003e for plastic headlights, helmet visors, and other polycarbonate surfaces that cannot be treated with fluoropolymer-based sealants.

Preparation is the most crucial step: The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/soft99-glaco-glass-compound-roll-on-glasreinigungsmittel-100ml\"\u003eGlaco Glass Compound Roll On\u003c\/a\u003e with its dual-compound formula of two different particle sizes removes all layers that prevent a new sealant from adhering cleanly — road oil films, fluoride deposits from windshield washer systems, silicone residues from old sealants, and wiper rubber abrasion. This step takes five minutes and can realistically double the durability of the subsequent sealant. After preparation, the sealing follows: For \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/soft99-ultra-glaco-scheibenversiegelung-70ml\"\u003eUltra Glaco\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/soft99-glaco-dx-scheibenversiegelung-110ml\"\u003eGlaco DX\u003c\/a\u003e, you apply the product with the integrated felt applicator in a crosshatch motion on the dry window and let it dry for 5 to 10 minutes until a slightly whitish haze is visible. You wipe off this residue with a clean microfiber cloth. With the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/soft99-glaco-roll-on-large-scheibenversiegelung-120ml\"\u003eGlaco Roll On Large\u003c\/a\u003e, the principle is even simpler: press the roll-on ball, roll it over the window, let it dry, wipe it off. For full curing, the window should remain protected from moisture for at least 12 hours — applying it in the garage in the evening is the recommended practice. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/soft99-glaco-de-cleaner-glasreiniger-400ml\"\u003eGlaco De Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e takes care of maintenance in between: the only glass cleaner in the series that does not attack existing Glaco sealants and instead cleans the surface streak-free and slightly refreshes the beading effect. A common mistake: using conventional glass cleaners with surfactants or ammonia on sealed windows — these degrade the coating with each cleaning and halve the durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGlaco in Comparison — How Does the Soft99 Series Compare to Other Window Sealants?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the market for window sealants, the Glaco series primarily competes with professional ceramic glass coatings such as D-CON Ceramic Glass Clean \u0026 Protect and GYEON Q² View, as well as simpler rain repellents from accessory retailers. Compared to simple silicone sprays, the entire Glaco series is clearly superior: longer durability, stronger beading effect, significantly better resistance to windshield wipers and cleaning agents. These are product categories that are barely noticeable after two to four weeks. Compared to professional ceramic glass coatings, the picture is more nuanced. Products like GYEON Q² View, when applied correctly, provide a slightly more intense beading effect even at very low speeds and a durability of up to one year — comparable to Ultra Glaco. The difference lies in the application: ceramic glass coatings usually require more elaborate preparation, controlled temperature conditions, and more experience. Ultra Glaco is significantly more tolerant in application and, with proper preparation, delivers a result that is practically equivalent to professional alternatives — with significantly less effort and a more favorable entry point. Within the Glaco series itself, the decision is a matter of priorities: maximum durability without compromises speaks for Ultra Glaco, easiest application for the Roll On Large, fastest refresh for Glaco W-Jet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Right Glaco Product for Every Situation — Buying Guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor most drivers, the most important question is: treat thoroughly once a year or quickly refresh every few months?

They give you a beading effect short term, but wipers, cleaners and UV strip them off within a few weeks. The \u003cstrong\u003eSoft99 Ultra Glaco\u003c\/strong\u003e takes a fundamentally different route: Fusso technology uses \u003cstrong\u003efluoropolymers\u003c\/strong\u003e — chemically rock-stable compounds that bond with the glass surface on a molecular level. Fluoropolymers are known for their exceptionally low surface tension. In plain terms: water can't form a continuous film on the treated glass, it pulls itself straight into beads. The chemistry calls this a hydrophobic coating, and on the Ultra Glaco it's so pronounced that raindrops start travelling upward and running off the glass on their own at even moderate speed. A classic rookie mistake is laying it down on glass that isn't fully degreased. Even invisible oil films — from exhaust fumes, sealant residue or tree sap — keep the fluoropolymers from binding to the glass properly. The result: patchy spots that let water run off unevenly and throw up annoying streaks at night against oncoming headlights. Take the prep seriously and you're rewarded with an even, long-lasting coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying the Ultra Glaco the right way — step by step to the perfect glass sealant\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplying the Ultra Glaco\u003c\/strong\u003e is straightforward, but it takes clean prep. First, clean the windscreen thoroughly with a glass cleaner — ideally the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-de-cleaner-glasreiniger-400ml\"\u003eGlaco De Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e for the base clean, or the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-glass-compound-roll-on-glasreinigungsmittel-100ml\"\u003eGlaco Glass Compound Roll On\u003c\/a\u003e if there's old sealant or stubborn build-up on there. The glass then has to be completely dry. Now press the Ultra Glaco's built-in felt applicator lightly against the glass and spread the liquid in even criss-cross strokes across the whole surface. Work quickly and with overlap so you don't leave any spots untreated. After 5 to 10 minutes of drying time — you'll know it's ready by a slightly whitish haze on the glass — wipe off the residue with a clean, slightly damp microfibre cloth. The key to full durability: keep the glass away from moisture for at least 12 hours after application. In practice that means: best to lay it down in the evening in the garage and let it cure overnight. Apply the Ultra Glaco below 10°C or above 30°C and you risk an uneven cure. The sweet spot sits between 15°C and 25°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e12 months of glass sealant — what durability you can realistically expect\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoft99 rates the Ultra Glaco for a \u003cstrong\u003edurability of up to 12 months\u003c\/strong\u003e — and under ideal conditions that's genuinely realistic. Independent long-term tests confirm the beading is still clearly there after a year, 16,000 kilometres and over a dozen hand washes. The water beading is strongest in the first four to six months: raindrops get carried off by the airflow reliably from 45 km\/h. After about six months that threshold tends to shift to 60–70 km\/h, and after a year you'll need more like 80–90 km\/h for the full effect. That's a natural wear-down — and even after 12 months the remaining coating still gives a measurable edge over untreated glass. For everyday use that means: if you do a lot of motorway and open-road driving, you benefit massively the whole time. In pure city traffic under 40 km\/h the self-cleaning effect naturally kicks in less — here you should realistically top up every four to six months to keep the effect steady. Brush car washes shorten the life noticeably too, because the mechanical friction strips the fluoropolymer layer faster than contactless hand washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUltra Glaco vs. Glaco DX — which Soft99 glass sealant fits you?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the Glaco family, the \u003cstrong\u003eUltra Glaco and the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-dx-scheibenversiegelung-110ml\"\u003eGlaco DX\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e are the two premium options — but they're built for different kinds of user.

The Glaco DX instead uses the newer SARF technology (Strong Adhesion + Rapid Finish) and lasts up to four months — but it's noticeably easier to apply and has a bigger felt applicator that gets into hard-to-reach corners with no fuss. What we see day-to-day: the Ultra Glaco delivers the stronger beading at low speeds (from 45 km\/h vs. 60–70 km\/h on the DX), but it asks for more careful prep and a longer cure. If you want to treat your glass once a year and then be left in peace for months, grab the Ultra Glaco. If you'd rather do a quick, fuss-free refresh every three to four months, the Glaco DX suits you better. For a competitive comparison: premium alternatives like the Gyeon Q² View give even stronger water sheeting at very low speeds, but they sit well higher on price and need more involved prep.

What makes it such a hit: applying it is as easy as a roll-on deodorant — cap off, roll it across the glass, let it dry, done. The big ball applicator covers the whole windscreen in a few passes and lays down an even, hydrophobic layer as it goes. Day-to-day that means: when it rains, water beads off the glass reliably from 45 km\/h, and the wiper becomes pretty much redundant in a lot of situations. With 120 ml in the bottle you get up to six windscreen treatments — which also makes the Glaco Roll On Large the smart-money pick for anyone who likes to refresh their glass sealant on a regular basis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoll-on applicator for foolproof application in minutes.\u003c\/strong\u003e The big ball head spreads the sealant evenly and without drips.

The key difference from spray or wipe sealants is the application principle: the ball applicator releases the liquid in measured doses under light pressure — so the sealant gets laid down and worked into the glass at the same time. In practice that gives you a far more even spread than spray products, which often run at the edges or go on too thick in the middle. The silicone-resin base creates a hydrophobic surface with a low contact angle: water pulls together into little beads that get no grip on the slick surface. The effect is measurable and visible — in the rain no film of water builds up on the glass, just individual beads that get caught by the airflow from 45 km\/h and swept up and away. A common first-timer mistake: too much pressure on the applicator. The ball releases plenty of liquid with just light contact. Press too hard and you lay down too thick a coat, which can leave milky streaks as it cures. Less is definitely more here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying the Glaco Roll On Large properly — the fastest glass sealant in the Glaco range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eapplication of the Glaco Roll On Large\u003c\/strong\u003e is deliberately built around speed and simplicity. Start by cleaning the windscreen thoroughly — a standard glass cleaner does the job for regular top-ups, and for the first application we recommend the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-glass-compound-roll-on-glasreinigungsmittel-100ml\"\u003eGlaco Glass Compound Roll On\u003c\/a\u003e. The glass has to be completely dry. Then unscrew the orange cap and roll the ball applicator across the whole screen in even passes — work from top to bottom in overlapping strips. You can feel the ball releasing the liquid, and you can see a slightly wet film on the glass. After 5 to 10 minutes a faint whitish haze forms — the sign that the sealant has dried off. Wipe the haze away with a clean, dry microfibre cloth. For a full cure, keep the glass away from moisture for the next 24 hours. In practice it is enough to put it on in the evening in the garage. The whole job takes under five minutes — a lot quicker than the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-ultra-glaco-scheibenversiegelung-70ml\"\u003eUltra Glaco\u003c\/a\u003e, which needs more careful prep and a longer dwell time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBeading and durability — what the Glaco Roll On Large delivers day-to-day\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ebeading of the Glaco Roll On Large\u003c\/strong\u003e kicks in from 45 km\/h and is at its strongest in the first few weeks after application. At motorway speed raindrops are practically flung off the glass — an effect that drastically improves your view in heavy rain and makes the wiper redundant in a lot of situations. Realistic durability sits at two to three months under normal driving. If you only ever wash your car by hand and steer clear of aggressive glass cleaners, you can even reach four months. Regular trips through a brush car wash cut the lifespan to six to eight weeks, because the mechanical friction wears the silicone-resin layer down faster. Day-to-day that means: the Glaco Roll On Large is no set-and-forget product like the Ultra Glaco with its 12-month lifespan. It is much more the perfect pick for people who want to do a quick top-up every two to three months — and thanks to the roll-on principle, that refresh genuinely takes only a few minutes. Even once the beading starts to fade, the remaining coating still gives you a noticeable edge: dirt and bug splatter come off more easily than from untreated glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGlaco Roll On Large vs. Ultra Glaco — which glass sealant is the right call?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eGlaco Roll On Large and the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-ultra-glaco-scheibenversiegelung-70ml\"\u003eUltra Glaco\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e are the two best-selling products in the Glaco line — but they cover different needs. The Roll On Large is all about maximum simplicity: roll-on applicator, no prep needed, five minutes of work. The Ultra Glaco, on the other hand, uses the more involved Fusso fluoropolymer technology and lasts up to 12 months, but for that it needs thorough prep work and a longer cure time. On the beading itself the two are close at low speeds — both work reliably from 45 km\/h. The difference shows up in long-term stability: while the Ultra Glaco still shows a strong effect after six months, the Roll On Large fades noticeably after two to three months. In return, a top-up with the Roll On Large is done in under five minutes. As an alternative within the Glaco family, the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-dx-scheibenversiegelung-110ml\"\u003eGlaco DX\u003c\/a\u003e with SARF technology offers a middle ground: four months of durability with easy application via a felt applicator.

The \u003cstrong\u003eSoft99 Glaco Blave\u003c\/strong\u003e uses a special \u003cstrong\u003esilicone-resin-and-alcohol blend\u003c\/strong\u003e that bonds to glass as well as polycarbonate and acrylic without damaging the material. The alcohol in the mix acts as the carrier: it flashes off completely after you apply it and leaves nothing behind but the thin silicone-resin layer on the surface. That layer drops the surface tension of the treated material, so water pulls itself into tight little beads instead of forming a closed film. The effect shows up just as clearly on plastic as it does on glass — raindrops bead off rather than spreading into a sheet across the whole face. One key difference from pure glass sealants: the silicone-resin layer is softer and less hard-wearing than the Ultra Glaco's fluoropolymer coating. On glass it therefore lasts only a few weeks rather than months. On plastic that's beside the point, since harder coatings can't be used there anyway without damaging the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to apply the Glaco Blave properly — on visor, headlight and glass\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow you \u003cstrong\u003eapply the Glaco Blave\u003c\/strong\u003e varies slightly with the surface, but the basic routine never changes. Clean the surface thoroughly first — on vehicle glass a normal glass cleaner does the job, while on visors and plastic you're best off with lukewarm water and a drop of mild washing-up liquid. Important: keep harsh cleaners and abrasives off plastic, as they can scratch the surface. Once it's dry, lay the Glaco Blave down with the built-in felt applicator. Squeeze the bottle gently until the felt is damp, then spread the liquid in even, overlapping passes. Unlike the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-ultra-glaco-scheibenversiegelung-70ml\"\u003eUltra Glaco\u003c\/a\u003e, you don't wait for a white haze to form — wipe the treated area straight away with the microfibre cloth in the box. The result shows immediately: the surface feels smoother and water beads off the moment it touches. On helmet visors we'd treat the outside only — the inside can fog from the silicone-resin layer when your breath hits it. For headlights and tail lights, don't let the sealant run into the seals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it's used and what you get — where the Glaco Blave really shines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eGlaco Blave\u003c\/strong\u003e earns its keep exactly where ordinary glass sealants can't go. Its prime job is \u003cstrong\u003ehelmet visors\u003c\/strong\u003e: every rider knows the problem — in the rain a sheet of water builds up on the visor and kills your vision. The Glaco Blave breaks that sheet up and turns it into separate beads that get carried off by the wind once you're moving at a fair clip. The effect is especially obvious on a bike, because the airflow hits the visor head-on. Second key use: polycarbonate headlights and tail lights. The hydrophobic layer cuts how much road grime and spray can cling — your lights stay clearer on night drives and put out more light. Safety goggles for DIY, sports glasses and even acrylic shower screens benefit too. Realistic durability varies with the surface: reckon on four to six weeks on plastic, three to four weeks on glass. On heavily used visors that get cleaned often, the effect can fade after just two to three weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGlaco Blave vs. Ultra Glaco — why plastic needs its own product\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a question that comes up a lot: can't you just use the \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-ultra-glaco-scheibenversiegelung-70ml\"\u003eUltra Glaco\u003c\/a\u003e on plastic?\u003c\/strong\u003e Short answer: no. Fluoropolymer-based sealants like the Ultra Glaco are tuned for mineral glass and can attack polycarbonate and acrylic — at worst you get milky hazing or fine cracks in the plastic surface. The \u003cstrong\u003eGlaco Blave\u003c\/strong\u003e is formulated specifically for these materials and won't harm them. Head to head: the Ultra Glaco gives a far stronger, longer-lasting beading on glass (up to 12 months vs. a few weeks).

After spraying, leave it alone for at least 30 minutes and keep it out of the rain. Pair Mirror Coat Zero on the mirrors with the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-ultra-glaco-scheibenversiegelung-70ml\"\u003eUltra Glaco\u003c\/a\u003e on the windscreen — that way you've got a clear view all round when it rains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNano-technology in the Glaco Mirror Coat Zero — how the lotus effect works on mirrors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003enano-technology in the Glaco Mirror Coat Zero\u003c\/strong\u003e builds a structure of ultra-fine, continuous ridges on the mirror surface at the nanometre scale. This micro-structure is invisible to the naked eye, but it changes the physical behaviour of the surface completely: the contact area between a water droplet and the mirror shrinks so far that drops sit almost spherically on top and roll off at the slightest nudge — a gust of air on the move or a vibration is enough. Nature got there first: lotus leaves use the same nano-structure to shrug off water and dirt. On a car this effect is worth most on the mirrors, because unlike the windscreen, a mirror has no wiper. Without a sealant, every raindrop clings to the mirror and warps the reflection. With the nano coating on the Mirror Coat Zero, the drops run off on their own. One key difference from ordinary glass sealants: Mirror Coat Zero doesn't need to be rubbed in or wiped off. The nanoparticles settle into the ideal structure on their own as the spray mist dries — rubbing it in by hand would actually destroy that structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to apply Mirror Coat Zero properly — spray-and-dry for perfect results\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eapplication of the Glaco Mirror Coat Zero\u003c\/strong\u003e is simpler than any other sealant in the Glaco range, but it does need a clean surface. Start by cleaning both wing mirrors with glass cleaner and a lint-free microfibre cloth. Make sure no wax residue, fingerprints or water spots are left behind — those stop the nanoparticles from spreading evenly. Shake the can well and spray an even, thin film onto the mirror from about 15 centimetres away. You'll see the spray mist sit on the glass as a fine, even layer. Now the part that matters: don't wipe. Let the film air-dry completely — depending on temperature and humidity that takes 15 to 30 minutes. Once it's dry, the coating is invisible and active. For reversing cameras you do exactly the same: clean the lens, spray a thin coat from close up, let it dry. On the first drive in the rain after you've applied it, you'll spot the difference straight away — water no longer forms a film, it breaks into individual beads that run off fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDurability and results — how long does Mirror Coat Zero protect your mirrors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003edurability of the Glaco Mirror Coat Zero\u003c\/strong\u003e runs to four to eight weeks per application under normal driving. Mirrors take far more of a beating than the windscreen — side wind, spray off the road and the odd knock as people get in and out work on the coating non-stop. Day-to-day that means a monthly top-up keeps the lotus effect going strong. The good news: thanks to the spray-and-dry approach, a refresh per mirror takes just 30 seconds plus drying time. The 40 ml can lasts several months with regular use. The beading is worth most on the mirrors precisely because there's no mechanical backup: the windscreen has wipers, but the wing mirrors rely purely on passive water repellency in the rain. Without a sealant the mirror is basically blind in heavy rain — with Mirror Coat Zero you still get individual drops that run off fast, and the reflection stays clear enough to drive safely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMirror Coat Zero vs. glass sealants — why mirrors need special treatment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA common question: can't you just lay the normal \u003cstrong\u003eglass sealant onto the mirrors\u003c\/strong\u003e?

The catch is the application: felt applicators and roll-on balls are built for big, flat surfaces like windscreens. On the small, often curved mirror faces, getting an even spread is tricky, and wiping easily leaves streaks that throw back annoying glare under headlights at night. The \u003cstrong\u003eGlaco Mirror Coat Zero\u003c\/strong\u003e solves exactly that with the spray approach: the mist lays down evenly on any surface, whatever its shape and size.

The punchy aerosol can with its twin-jet nozzle covers the whole windscreen in a few passes.

The \u003cstrong\u003etwin-jet nozzle\u003c\/strong\u003e throws two parallel jets that cover a wider area than a standard single nozzle. In practice that means four to five passes left to right are enough to treat a whole windscreen. The key technical difference versus other Glaco products is in the formula: where products like the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-ultra-glaco-scheibenversiegelung-70ml\"\u003eUltra Glaco\u003c\/a\u003e have to cure on a dry surface, the W-Jet formula is built to work its hydrophobic magic even when there's water in play. The silicone molecules bond even on wet glass — the wipers spread the sealant evenly and clear off the excess water. The resulting film is thinner than with hand-applied sealants, which explains the shorter lifespan, but that's no drawback for a quick job. One common slip-up: spraying too close to the glass. The sweet spot is 20 to 30 centimetres — from that distance the mist settles nicely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing the Glaco W-Jet properly — the fastest glass sealant in the world\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsing the Glaco W-Jet\u003c\/strong\u003e is built around pure speed — across two different scenarios. Scenario 1 — dry glass: knock the loose dirt off the windscreen, spray the W-Jet from 20 to 30 centimetres in horizontal passes across the whole screen, wait 10 seconds and buff it off with a clean microfibre cloth. Scenario 2 — wet glass in the rain: spray the W-Jet straight onto the wet windscreen, switch the wipers on and let them run three or four cycles. The wipers spread the sealant evenly and clear off the excess water. The beading kicks in straight away. Either way it takes under a minute. For the best result on dry glass, pair the W-Jet with a clean-up first using the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-de-cleaner-glasreiniger-400ml\"\u003eGlaco De Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e.

Realistic lifespan is four to six weeks on dry glass and two to three weeks with wet application. If you use the W-Jet to top up an existing base sealant, you can stretch it to six to eight weeks, since the base coat gives the W-Jet film extra stability. Against other spray sealants on the market, the W-Jet genuinely delivers the 50 percent longer life the maker claims — a figure it hits thanks to the tweaked silicone formula and the even spread from the twin-jet nozzle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eW-Jet vs. Glaco Roll On Large — spray against roll-on\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eGlaco W-Jet and the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-roll-on-large-scheibenversiegelung-120ml\"\u003eGlaco Roll On Large\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e both scratch the same itch — a fast, fuss-free glass sealant — but they play to different strengths. The W-Jet wins on speed: under a minute to apply, works in the rain, no drying time. The Roll On Large wins on durability: two to three months against the W-Jet's four to six weeks. The beading on the Roll On Large is a bit stronger at low speeds (from 45 km\/h vs. 50–60 km\/h on the W-Jet), because the roll-on builds a thicker, more even layer. If you look after your glass regularly and can spare five minutes once a month, the Roll On Large is the better fit. If you want something for surprise downpours or a quick top-up on the road, grab the W-Jet.

First, make sure the glass is dry and roughly clear of loose dirt — thanks to the built-in compound cleaner, a perfect pre-clean isn't needed. Take the cap off the applicator, hold the bottle at an angle against the glass and squeeze gently to release the product. Run the felt applicator over the whole pane in even circular passes — the applicator is shaped so you reach the corners and edges without a fuss. You'll feel the compound dragging lightly over the surface — that's intentional and tells you the cleaning is doing its job. Let the product dwell for five to ten minutes until the white residue starts to dry. Then wipe off with a slightly damp microfibre cloth and buff with a second, dry cloth. One common slip-up: too little pressure on application. The compound needs moderate pressure to release its cleaning power. Skim over it too lightly and you get a weaker clean — and with it a less durable seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBeading and durability — Glaco Q in everyday use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eGlaco Q's beading\u003c\/strong\u003e kicks in at around 45 km\/h — a figure that makes the product especially appealing for city driving and country roads. In the rain the drops visibly run off even at a moderate pace, and at motorway speeds the airflow simply carries them away. The seal's durability sits at a realistic six to eight weeks under normal driving conditions. Things like heavy wiper use, aggressive screen-wash systems and strong UV can shorten that. Compared with the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-ultra-glaco-scheibenversiegelung-70ml\"\u003eUltra Glaco\u003c\/a\u003e and its up-to-twelve-month durability, the Glaco Q is shorter-lived — but it also goes on far quicker and is less fuss to wipe off afterwards. If you want to stretch the durability, you can top it up after four weeks with the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-w-jet-scheibenversiegelung-180ml\"\u003eGlaco W-Jet\u003c\/a\u003e — the spray sealant goes on in seconds and adds another four to six weeks of protection without you having to repeat the whole cleaning process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGlaco Q vs. Glaco Roll On Large — 2-in-1 against a specialist sealant\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eGlaco Q and the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-roll-on-large-scheibenversiegelung-120ml\"\u003eGlaco Roll On Large\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e speak to different kinds of user. The Glaco Q is the pragmatic answer: one product, one step, done on the spot. The Roll On Large is the specialist's answer: stronger beading, longer durability of two to three months, but it expects a clean, prepped glass surface. To be specific: before the Roll On Large you'd ideally use the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-glass-compound-roll-on-glasreinigungsmittel-100ml\"\u003eGlaco Glass Compound Roll On\u003c\/a\u003e for the base clean. The Glaco Q handles that cleaning step at the same time. Both products start beading from 45 km\/h, but on the Roll On Large the thicker sealant layer makes it a touch more intense at the same speed. For beginners, occasional users and anyone short on time, the Glaco Q is the better call. If you're happy to put in ten minutes more for far longer durability, reach for the Roll On Large — or, for maximum staying power, go straight for the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-dx-scheibenversiegelung-110ml\"\u003eGlaco DX\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-ultra-glaco-scheibenversiegelung-70ml\"\u003eUltra Glaco\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho the Glaco Q is ideal for — buying advice and use case\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSoft99 Glaco Q\u003c\/strong\u003e is the best \u003cstrong\u003eglass sealant for beginners\u003c\/strong\u003e and for drivers after a fuss-free all-in-one solution. You need no prior know-how, no extra products and no elaborate prep. The Glaco Q is a particularly good shout for commuters and city drivers, who benefit from the low activation speed from 45 km\/h — plenty of glass sealants only show what they can do at much higher speeds. It also makes sense as a quick stopgap: when you notice the beading on an older seal fading, you can clean and re-seal in one with the Glaco Q.

The Soft99 Glaco Glass Compound Roll On is a specialised glass cleaner with dual-compound technology: a mix of small hard and large soft abrasive particles pulls off even the most stubborn grime like oil film, fluoride deposits and old coating residue — the perfect prep for getting the most life out of any Glaco glass coating.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSoft99 Glaco Glass Compound Roll On\u003c\/strong\u003e is the prep product of the Glaco range — and with that the most important step most drivers skip. A glass coating can only bond as well as the glass underneath it is clean. Oil film from traffic, fluoride deposits from old screen washes, silicone residue and wiper smear all build an invisible barrier that drastically cuts the lifespan of even a high-end coating. The Glass Compound Roll On fixes exactly that: the unique dual-compound formula with two different particle sizes cleans the glass right down to the bare surface — mechanically, thoroughly, and with no chemical residue. The handy roll-on applicator with its wide felt head makes it as easy to use as the coating products in the Glaco range: press it down, spread it, rinse it off.

The clever bit: two different particle types work at the same time. The small hard particles (think of a very fine cutting paste) break up grime mechanically — oil film, fluoride deposits from screen washes, limescale and silicone left by old coatings. The larger soft particles smooth the surface as they go and keep the hard particles from leaving micro-scratches. The result is glass that feels noticeably smoother after the treatment than it did before. That smoothness isn't just about looks — it's what lets hydrophobic coatings like \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-ultra-glaco-scheibenversiegelung-70ml\"\u003eUltra Glaco\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-roll-on-large-scheibenversiegelung-120ml\"\u003eGlaco Roll On Large\u003c\/a\u003e form an even, gap-free layer of protection.

Shake the bottle hard before use so the compound particles spread evenly. Squeeze the bottle gently to feed compound onto the felt applicator, then run it over the whole pane in overlapping, straight passes. Use moderate pressure — you should feel the particles working across the surface. Go over each area two or three times, especially the wiper zones, where oil film and fluoride deposits build up the most. After the treatment, rinse the glass thoroughly with clean water and dry it with a clean microfibre cloth. Important: don't use a glass cleaner after the compound — a lot of glass cleaners leave residue of their own that gets in the way of the coating's grip. The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-de-cleaner-glasreiniger-400ml\"\u003eGlaco De Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e is the exception here, since it's formulated specifically for the Glaco range and leaves nothing behind that would harm the coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the glass prep makes the difference — lifespan and result\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eglass prep with the Compound Roll On\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most underrated factor in glass coating. What we see day-to-day at Detailing1 is that a clean base prep doubles how long any coating lasts. An \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-ultra-glaco-scheibenversiegelung-70ml\"\u003eUltra Glaco\u003c\/a\u003e on an unprepped pane typically holds four to six months. The same Ultra Glaco on a pane prepped with the Glass Compound easily reaches ten to twelve months. The reason: without prep, grime sits between the glass and the coating and acts as a weak spot — water gets in there and lifts the coating off in patches. With the compound the grip is even right across the surface, and the coating only thins slowly through mechanical wear (wipers, car washes) instead of flaking off in patches. That difference really shows with long-life coatings like Ultra Glaco or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-dx-scheibenversiegelung-110ml\"\u003eGlaco DX\u003c\/a\u003e.

Where ordinary de-icer sprays just melt the ice and then do nothing else, the Glaco Deicer goes a step further. Alongside the de-icer, the formula carries a hydrophobic component from the Glaco range that settles onto the glass as a thin protective film once the ice has melted off. The result: the window re-freezes much more slowly, and in rain or slush you get a noticeable beading effect. With 450ml in the aerosol can, the Deicer has plenty in it for a winter's worth of frosty mornings, and the adjustable nozzle lets you spot-treat ice or cover a big area in one pass.

The second is made up of hydrophobic silicone compounds from the Glaco technology, which settle onto the glass as a thin protective film once the ice has melted off. The twin action plays out in stages: first the de-icer works into the ice layer and breaks it up. As soon as the surface is clear, the silicone component stays behind as an invisible film on the glass. That film is thinner than a hand-applied sealant like the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-roll-on-large-scheibenversiegelung-120ml\"\u003eGlaco Roll On Large\u003c\/a\u003e, but it still gives you a measurable hydrophobic effect — above all against ice grabbing on again.

First clear any loose snow off the window — the Deicer is built for ice and frost, not thick layers of snow. Shake the can hard, hold it about 15cm from the window and spray evenly across the whole iced-up area. On thin frost one pass is enough — within seconds you'll watch the ice melt. On thicker ice, lay down a second pass after 30 seconds. Wipe the melted ice off with a clean, dry cloth or just flick the wipers on. The nozzle adjusts between a narrow jet and a wide fan — use the wide fan for the windscreen and the narrow jet for the side windows and mirrors. One thing to note: don't spray the Deicer onto dry, ice-free glass as a sealant on its own — products like the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-w-jet-scheibenversiegelung-180ml\"\u003eGlaco W-Jet\u003c\/a\u003e are the better fit for that.

The hydrophobic layer left after de-icing holds for about one to two days per application and noticeably slows the re-freeze. For comparison: untreated, a clean window below zero ices back over within minutes. With the Deicer film it takes a good bit longer, because moisture can't grab onto the smooth, hydrophobic surface as easily. For lasting winter protection we'd go with the combo: a long-life sealant like the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-ultra-glaco-scheibenversiegelung-70ml\"\u003eUltra Glaco\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-dx-scheibenversiegelung-110ml\"\u003eGlaco DX\u003c\/a\u003e as the base, which beads hard for months, plus the Glaco Deicer as your daily helper for frosty mornings. The base sealant on its own won't stop icing, but it does mean ice bonds less firmly to the surface — and the Deicer then breaks that loose ice up even faster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGlaco Deicer vs ordinary de-icer sprays — the Glaco edge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrdinary \u003cstrong\u003ede-icer sprays\u003c\/strong\u003e from the DIY store or the petrol station melt the ice — and that's it.

Second, the compatibility with existing glass sealants — a lot of ordinary de-icers carry aggressive alcohols and solvents that attack and damage hydrophobic coatings. If you laid down your \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-ultra-glaco-scheibenversiegelung-70ml\"\u003eUltra Glaco\u003c\/a\u003e in autumn and want to protect it through winter, you want a compatible de-icer like the Glaco Deicer. Third, the aerosol tech: the can fires reliably even at minus 20 degrees, while pump spray bottles often freeze up or barely spray at low temperatures. There's a clear difference versus the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-w-jet-scheibenversiegelung-180ml\"\u003eGlaco W-Jet\u003c\/a\u003e too: the W-Jet is a pure glass sealant with no de-icing function, the Deicer is a de-icer with a sealing bonus. For winter you want the Deicer; the W-Jet is the better call for the rain-heavy months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho the Glaco Deicer is for — a buying tip for winter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSoft99 Glaco Deicer\u003c\/strong\u003e belongs in every glovebox that takes winter seriously. The big winners are drivers without a garage or carport who fight iced-up windows every morning — the Deicer saves you the time-eating scrape and protects the window against re-freezing at the same time. For Glaco users the Deicer is the only sensible pick among de-icer sprays, because it doesn't damage your existing sealant. It's also a real help for high-mileage and short-run drivers in winter: with several stops a day the window freezes over each time — the Deicer's leftover hydrophobic film noticeably slows that down.

The \"Strong Adhesion\" element ensures that the hydrophobic molecules form stronger chemical bonds with the glass than with standard silicone sealants. The result is a coating that is more resistant to wiper abrasion and car washes. The \"Rapid Finish\" element accelerates curing: While the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-ultra-glaco-scheibenversiegelung-70ml\"\u003eUltra Glaco\u003c\/a\u003e with its fluoropolymer formula requires an hour of curing time, Glaco DX is ready to wipe off after five to ten minutes.

Make sure the windshield is dry before applying Glaco DX. Remove the cap and run the swivel applicator in criss-cross patterns over the entire windshield — first horizontally, then vertically. The swivel mechanism automatically adapts to the windshield's curvature. Apply even pressure and make sure not to miss any spots. Let the sealant dry for five to ten minutes — you'll know it's ready when the surface appears slightly milky. Then wipe off with a clean, slightly damp microfiber cloth in straight lines. Finally, polish with a dry cloth. A common mistake: Wiping too soon. If you don't give the SARF formula enough time to dry, the sealant layer will be thinner, and durability will decrease significantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFour Months of Beading Effect — What Glaco DX Delivers in Everyday Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ebeading effect of Glaco DX\u003c\/strong\u003e is noticeable from approximately 45 km\/h and is among the strongest in the entire Glaco series — only the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-ultra-glaco-scheibenversiegelung-70ml\"\u003eUltra Glaco\u003c\/a\u003e with its fluoropolymer technology slightly surpasses it.

The Ultra Glaco offers the longest durability of all Glaco products, up to twelve months, but requires an hour of curing time and a perfectly prepared, dry windshield in a protected environment. The Glaco DX is the more practical alternative: Five to ten minutes of drying time, up to four months of durability, and thanks to the swivel applicator, even more even application than the Ultra Glaco with its narrow felt applicator. The beading effect is excellent with both products — the Ultra Glaco, due to its fluoropolymer base, is slightly stronger at low speeds, but in everyday use above 60 km\/h, the difference is hardly noticeable. For drivers who want a strong sealant with easy application and do not have a garage for hours of curing, the Glaco DX is often the better choice.

With 400 ml in the spray bottle, the De Cleaner offers enough content for weeks of regular glass cleaning. The big advantage in the Glaco system: The De Cleaner is designed as an intermediate cleaner that does not attack existing Glaco seals — on the contrary, it gently cleans the sealed surface and complements the beading effect.

The alcohol component is responsible for the actual cleaning: It dissolves greasy dirt such as fingerprints, road film, and insect residues and evaporates without leaving any residue. The resin component remains as a thin film on the glass surface after wiping and forms the water-repellent protective layer. This film is significantly thinner than with a dedicated sealant like the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-roll-on-large-scheibenversiegelung-120ml\"\u003eGlaco Roll On Large\u003c\/a\u003e or the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-dx-scheibenversiegelung-110ml\"\u003eGlaco DX\u003c\/a\u003e, but offers a measurable hydrophobic effect above approximately 60 km\/h. The decisive advantage of this formula: The cleaning alcohols are selected so that they do not dissolve existing Glaco sealants. Conventional glass cleaners — especially those with aggressive surfactants or ammonia — can abrade hydrophobic coatings layer by layer. The De Cleaner exclusively cleans the contaminants on the sealant without attacking the sealant itself. This makes it the only glass cleaner in the Glaco system that is explicitly recommended for the care of sealed windows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplying Glaco De Cleaner correctly — exterior and interior windows\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eapplication of Glaco De Cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e differs depending on the area of use. For the outside of the windshield: Shake the bottle briefly, spray the De Cleaner evenly onto the window from a distance of 15 to 20 centimeters, and spread it with a clean microfiber cloth in straight lines. Then wipe with the dry side of the cloth or a second cloth to avoid streaks. For the inside of the windshield: Spray the De Cleaner onto a microfiber cloth — not directly onto the window, to avoid spray mist on the dashboard and vents. Then wipe the inside of the window in straight, overlapping lines. The inside of the window collects a lot of grease and nicotine film, which significantly impairs visibility in backlight — the De Cleaner reliably removes this film. The same technique works for the side windows. A common mistake: Using too much product. Two to three sprays per half of the window are sufficient — too much product leaves a thicker film that can form streaks when drying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBeading effect and protective action — what the De Cleaner as a glass cleaner achieves\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ebeading effect of Glaco De Cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e is a pleasant additional benefit, but not a substitute for a full-fledged window sealant. The water-repellent resin layer works at approximately 60 km\/h — when driving on the highway, raindrops run off visibly faster than on an untreated window. In city traffic below 60 km\/h, the effect is less pronounced. The durability of the beading effect is a few days to a week — however, it is renewed with each cleaning. In comparison: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/products\/soft99-glaco-q-75ml\"\u003eGlaco Q\u003c\/a\u003e as a 2-in-1 product offers a significantly stronger beading effect from 45 km\/h with six to eight weeks of durability. The De Cleaner is primarily a glass cleaner with a bonus sealant, not vice versa. Its main benefit lies in streak-free cleaning while simultaneously protecting existing sealants. On unsealed windows, it at least offers a light basic protection and can serve as a low-threshold entry into the world of glass sealing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGlaco De Cleaner vs. conventional glass cleaners — the difference\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eGlaco De Cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e differs from conventional \u003cstrong\u003eglass cleaners\u003c\/strong\u003e from the supermarket in three key respects. First: Conventional glass cleaners only clean — the De Cleaner cleans and seals. Second: Most standard glass cleaners contain surfactants and sometimes ammonia, which attack hydrophobic coatings. Anyone who has treated their car with a Glaco sealant and then uses a conventional glass cleaner will gradually wear down the sealant with each cleaning. The De Cleaner is specially formulated to be gentle on the sealant. Third: Streak-free. The alcohol base of the De Cleaner evaporates without residue, while many standard cleaners leave mineral residues or surfactant films that become visible as streaks in backlight. For drivers who do not use a Glaco sealant, the De Cleaner is still an improvement over standard glass cleaners — the slight water repellency and better streak-free finish are noticeable even without a sealant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Glaco De Cleaner ideal for — purchase recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSoft99 Glaco De Cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e belongs in every car care kit as a standard \u003cstrong\u003eglass cleaner\u003c\/strong\u003e.
