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 find this product very easy to apply and remove. This product lasts a very long time and you'll be rather happy with its performance if applied correctly! Great product

I bought this along with Wolfs chemical nano glass. I applied wolfs to the whole car and did the windscreen with 3 coatings, after 2 months (in winter with 50% anti-freeze) i noticed a slight decrease in effectiveness over the wiper area. So cleaned all down and applied the G1 to the windscreen with again 3 coatings. Be warned the bottle is tiny and going by the makers figures 15ml covers about 2 square meters, so like some other reviewers I only had enough for the windscreen with none left over. The beading is more defined with the G1 and after just over a month so far there is no noticeable decrease anywhere on the screen at all. I have to say it is superior but much, much more expensive... (£110 for 150ml (10x15ml) vs £22 for 150ml) So my plan for the future is to use the G1 on windscreens and the wolfs on the side and rear windows... Have to say this is a wining combination so far.

What a great product ! could do with being a might bigger as has to be used sparingly, on a big car (MB CL500) only just managed to give the screen its 3rd application, the vid clips on youtube are a very good indication how well this product works but its better in the flesh will buy again in 2yrs when it's time to reapply. WELL IMPRESSED !!!!

This is the second time I've used G1 from Gtechniq on my car. It is hands down the best rain repellent on the market. At speeds above 40mph the water streams straight off the glass. At 70mph (on appropriate roads) you often don't need to even turn your wipers on in the rain. The improvement in visibility in the wet is gob smacking and I don't think its going too far to say that for the potential life saving properties of this stuff it is one of the best investments you can make in car care products. But being honest I think that for the normal road user the manufacturers claim of two years longevity is a bit optimistic. I'd say it'll last 14 months for most people.

This is my 2nd time purchasing this, after I tried this on my own car and my brothers. (Enough to do 2 cars all windows small hatchback) We both are very impressed with the way this performs! Never seen water repel of the glass so effortlessly, barely use the wipers now.
