GranTurismoEra Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Saw this on Instagram. Any products in UK you would recommend for rain? Where the water beads and runs off windshield. In some cases can be applied to the whole car. That way no need to use wipers especially the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilogikal1 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Plenty. In fact, if anything, you’ve got too much choice. There are easier to use but less durable options such as GTechniq G5, PIAA, Car Chem Glass Sealant and the absolutely terrible Rain-X. Don’t go for Rain-X! Then you’ve got the more expensive, more involved coatings that last much longer such as GTechniq G1 and Gyeon View. Theres a very specific reason that I’ve named the ones that I have, take your pick. And do NOT choose Rain-X!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W8BGS Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Platinum Glass by Carbon Collective has been best I've had on any of my cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I ordered the G1/G2/G4 kit. First time venturing into the coating game Easy enough to use in this cold weather? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time venturing into the coating game Easy enough to use in this cold weather? It's a top product but in these temps it'll take a while longer to cure. I was told its best to do one round, leave for 24 hours and do a second round. Definitely worth the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilogikal1 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 That^^^. If you can warm up the screen with the heaters first it should make it a bit easier, or if you've got the ability to force cure (apply heat to) it - even standing there with hair drier for a bit would help. I have appied it in ~9-10 degress, leaving to cure for 2-3 hours between rounds without issues. The colder it is, the longer it'll take to fully cure though.

You won't be disappointed. Not that G1 is not a tremoundous product of course, they just work in slightly different ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 @Umster @ilogikal1 Yea the box says leave for 30 mins rather than 15 mins when below 15 Celsius Ive read it can be difficult to remove, more worried about that or will I be ok with decent prep?

ilogikal1 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 It's not too difficult to remove with G2 in fairness; you'll probably run out of G2 before you run out of G1 (although you should have enough to do one full application). If you do run out of G2 then G6 is quite a good replacement for removal, or IPA if you already have that to hand. Just make sure you've removed any streaks before applying the next layer! It's a bitch when you seal it in between coats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
