where you get 12 hours?

the glacos i used all states 5 or 10 mins je

ya that's what i've done. and my rain X was since... err look back my early Iswara windscreen treatment/refurbishing work, application of Rain x. Maybe even more than 10 years ago.
i think that post was in detailing v2 thread?

i buy one bottle of rain x washer fluid additive every 1 to 1.5 ish years, for around RM20-30 ish...
the original rain X application same bottle been used for...ever. buy once and never needed to buy again lol.

i actually gotten another spray bottle (they tried to be innovative and have a spray gun lol) and have it spare in another state Melaka house location, that bottle is like 80-90% only used like... once or twice? since 2017 or 2018.
lol.

price vs performance is undisputed lol.

Glaco: After drying for 5-10 minutes, wipe it off with a dry, clean towel, afterward dry for more than 12 hours, in order to make the coating adhere firmly to the windshield. - Source: Shopee (YS Automart)

After 5-10 min still can drive, but need to wait 12 hours for it to properly cure.

Rain X just slimply apply only haha

same la
both also will dry in 5-10 minutes,
if fully cure will take hours

it is the same as waxing a car la
will dry and work within 5-10 minutes,
but fully cure will be hours.

very likely the chemistry of both product is the same, just brand name and packaging different only

Honest review of glaco,
Bought the glaco compound and repellent.

Pros
Works great and it last a longer time with some exposure to chemical degreaser, tree sap and etc.

Cons
Apparently it generate watermark easily compare to whatever off the shelf of Mr.DIY (My car is either under the tree or the sun with dusty enviroment)
Per application is costly.
I don't like how the bottle is, squeeze then spread. Either it come out too much or too little.

I just got this from Shopee 7/7 deal. This set is RM48 with delivery. Else it is RM63 today.



They sent me an ULTRA Glaco (12 Months protection) instead of 6 months as in picture. So this is even better deal! And also the 0 km/h side mirror water repellent.

I would probably do the side mirror first. Then wait end of the day to do the windscreen. Hope its not rainy because i park my car outside.

you didnt buy the Glass Compound?

I already have cerium oxide powder for that. Their compound is the same thing.

Im using 3M brand glass coating, so far so good

why not consider SiO2 chemistry as they better resists wiper marks, water marks, bird droppings, tree saps etc?

kena body paint will corosive or not

won't la, normally we tape the edges before start any application to avoid any spills
best is don't kena but if kena just wipe or buff off

if DIY, glass sio2 and paint sio2 spill a bit is ok
if Pro then cannot accept lo
