Gtechniq - G1 ClearVision Smart Glass

Gtechniq G1 ClearVision Smart Glass is a dedicated glass sealant that is designed to last for up to two years / 30,000 miles making wet weather driving both safer and less tiring. Also keeps windshields cleaner for longer and makes bugs and ice easy to clean off.

No smears and wiper blade proof.

What's special about Gtechniq G1 ClearVision Smart Glass?

Unlike regular rain repellent coatings that adhere to the surface of the glass using relatively weak physical bonds, G1 uses a chemical bond which gives G1 unrivalled durability.  Gtechniq G1's excellent durability and exceptionally low smear characteristics make it ideal for car windscreens. 

Please note that with glass coatings there is a trade off between durability and functionality.  Whilst Gtechniq G1 is recommended for car windscreens, for surfaces such as shower screens or marine glass where maximum repellency is required it is better to use Gtechniq G5 ClearVision Smart Glass (Max Repellency).

15ml (12.5m2 per 100ml.)

How do I use this product?

On new glass simply clean the glass and apply the coating using the applicator pads.  On old glass we recommend using G4 Glass Nano Polish prior to application in order to remove all contaminants which would interfere with the bonding process. 

For the front screen we recommend three coats whilst a single coating is sufficient for side screens.


Application instructions for Gtechniq G1 Smart Glass


Make sure you are working in a well ventilated area, in a temperature that is 5°c or above
Wear gloves and do not apply in direct sunlight
Clean all glass you are going to protect with Gtechniq G6 Perfect Glass Cleaner and an Gtechniq MF5 Power Glass Cloth
For best results machine polish the glass with Gtechniq G4 Nano Glass Polish and a medium pad. Or alternatively, polish the glass with G4 Nano Glass Polish and a hand polishing pad. Apply a small amount and polish in a circular motion
Once finished, clean the glass back to a shine with G6 Perfect Glass and an MF5 or Gtechniq MF1 ZeroR Microfibre Buff Cloth – repeat this as many times as needed to remove all residue
Shake bottle well before use
For windscreens we recommend using 3 layers of Gtechniq G1, but for side and rear screens only 1 layer is needed
Apply a liberal amount of G1 to a Gtechniq AP1 Lint-Free Applicator Pad (supplied)
Work product into the glass in a circular motion covering all of the glass, and leave to cure for 5 minutes
Using a new AP1 apply the same amount of product to the pad, but this time put G1 over your previous layer in a side to side motion, leave for a further 5 minutes to cure
Apply your third layer with the same amount of product on a AP1, however this time apply in vertical straight lines, leave to cure for 15 minutes
Remove cured residue, with G2 Residue Remover. Dab the G2 onto the remaining applicator and apply to a small area at a time, then buff the glass immediately with an MF1 cloth
Finish by cleaning the wiper blades and glass with G6 Perfect Glass and an MF5
We recommend you apply a layer of G1 on your wiper blades without removing residue. If wiper blades are worn they should be replaced
Do not expose your car to the elements for at least 12 hours
Store in a cool, dry place
Use G1 and G2 within 3 months of opening
There may be some wiper blade judder, in 90% of cases this will disappear within two weeks.

I followed the instructions to the letter in applying this product, and have to say it is a little bit disappointing. The beading effect is ok, but not brilliant, and on the move, I still need wipers until at least 50 mph, but ideally 60mph. I guess this could be down to the angle of the windscreen, and the effect will be slightly different on each car. The wiper blades, in spite of having been cleaned as per instructions, did leave a line of sight residue, which took about a week of wet weather driving to disappear. On the plus side, the product does seem to last extremely well - the effect is not wearing at all and I imagine it will last months. Overall, not a bad product, but given the expense, I think I would probably just top up with Rain-X (which smells suspiciously similar!) once a fortnight for a similar effect. I don't know whether it is possible for other readers to answer this review, but I am absolutely open to suggestions as to a better way of applying, a reason for my disappointment etc - go for it!

After 2 months I still have the same beading I did on application, this will last upto 9 months or so. The other day I was travelling on the motorway in HEAVY downpour and did not have to use my wipers, the rain simply beaded and ran upwards and over the car. This stuff is phenomenal and worth the money. I apply this to all my cars which I detail and every customer comments on how good it is.

I first used this a few years ago, it last well over 20k miles through some tough conditions are a round Europe tour, I've recently applied it my new car and its sill just as good, but if you're using it on older cars, like I do, make sure you use the G4 first to provide it a smooth base to stick too.

This is very good and durable staff, I use it for more than 4 years now,sometimes keep me longer then 14 months but definitely after 8-9 month the sealant start to get faded,it is still do the job but the water doesn't fly so quick like on the beginning. Over all I'm very impressed with this product, a bit expensive but on the other hand the sealant it's very good and very durable , I try it other windscreen sealant before but not very impresset, I will gonna stick with gtechniq G(1,2,4) set windows sealant.

I put this on a couple of weeks ago - pretty easy to apply. The little bottles are quite fiddly - I did end up spilling it once which sent about 1/4 of the bottle across my bonnet. I'd recommend having a stool or ledge of some sort nearby to leave the bottles while you work. I also applied it to my panoramic roof. First proper rain yesterday since I applied it and the beading is amazing. When driving the water beads and disappears & the roof was frozen his morning - the frozen beads looked class! I'd say the class has stayed very clean also.
