Question 1

Does a glass coating work on side windows and mirrors too?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can apply a glass coating to all glass surfaces: windscreen, rear window, side windows and wing mirrors. The mirrors especially benefit, since they're more prone to water drops blocking your view.

Question 2

Can I still use my windscreen wipers after a glass coating?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but you'll notice you need them less at normal driving speeds. In light rain, air pressure pulls the water away by itself. Do use the wipers normally in heavy rain. Fresh wiper blades also extend the life of the coating.

Question 3

Can I apply a glass coating to tinted glass?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a glass coating bonds to all types of glass, including tinted windows and windows with integrated antennas or heating elements. Be careful with electrically heated rear windows: don't wipe across the wires but work along the elements.

Question 4

How long does a glass coating last?

Accepted Answer

Glass coatings last 6 to 18 months with normal use. The windscreen wears faster due to wipers and road grit; side and rear windows typically hold up longer. Check water beading regularly as a gauge.

Question 5

Does a glass coating work at low speed or in the city too?

Accepted Answer

At lower speeds you'll need the wipers more than on the motorway, since there's less air pressure to pull the water away. But even in the city you'll notice the difference: windows are easier to keep clean and mud and grime don't stick as readily.
