Rain Repellent - Gtechniq G1

[Twiggy]

So just treated my car to some rain repellent, used this stuff before and  can't rate it enough.

I have done a quick video to show it in action, see video below.

 

_ScEg  (the youtube link wouldn't work)

Definitely worth £20, very easy to apply and comes with clear instructions.

also with the summer coming up it helps reduce the amount of mess that flies make to the windscreen.

cheers for the vid etc
i neeeed to get mine done but i said that before christmas lol

[Twiggy]

Its definitely worth doing, takes no more than an hour and lasts for the year. It will go through the car wash (should you ever take your car there  )

£20 will do the full car if you get the polish as well, if you don't use the polish it will just cost £15.

just make sure your glass is clean and dry before application.

Hi which products did you buy and where did you get them from.  I've been wanting to do this but unsure what exactly to buy.  Would they do two cars or not?

I used to use rainex and stuff like that. But I discovers that using it on the windscreen resulted in major wiper blade judder so I have not used it in years. That was on old cars, do you still get the judder on modern cars or are the springs and power of the blades better.

This is the website that i bought my stuff from.

Glass polish, this is to be used after you have cleaned the screen with normal car cleaning products. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/engine-and-exterior/glass-cleaners-sealants/gtechniq-g4-glass-nano-polish/prod_880.html

The glass treatment http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/engine-and-exterior/glass-cleaners-sealants/gtechniq-g1-clearvision-smart-glass/prod_881.html

There is enough treatment to do one car, i treated my girlfriends dads 4x4 and still managed 3 coats on the front screen and one coat on every other window, so used sparingly you maybe able to do two cars. I can't guarantee that you will get the same results if you don't follow gtechniqs guidelines but i only used two coats on the front screen on my car and it seems to work (and last) a treat.

for what it costs and how long it lasts its a bargain.

(rain is poor in comparison, also using the hand car wash guys may cause windscreen wipers to judder due to the wax that they spray onto the car.)

Let me know how you get on 

Has anyone else used something similar? or something that even better?

[cuprajake]

yup, wiper judder city.

tempted to clean it off with panelwipe

Cheers for that on the web site it states to use a cotton towel type cloth and not a microfibre for the G1.  What's a cotton towel type cloth - excuse my ignorance.

That type of thing is what you want.

I've  just bought g5. But it's going on a new screen. What's the difference with g5?

[rich83]

its probably not as long lasting or as effective as the G1

As well as swirls and scratches to your paint, TFR staining and burnishing, stripping of any wax or sealant protection on your vehicle

G5 is the old G3. I've used both G1 and G3. The G3 worked at lower speeds - you noticed it above 30mph and it was most effective around 50-60mph. But it lasted only a couple of months. The G1 was more durable but IMO just wasn't effective until about 70+mph, so unless you do regular motorway miles, it just doesn't appear to be justifiable.

G5 does work at lower speeds but doesn't last a long, G1 works best at 50+ but as you can see from my video it does work at lower speeds.

G5 deals with spray better than G1.

I love G1 and G2 can't get enough of it.

I like playing games to see how long I can go without wiping the window
