Bilt Hamber Re-View 500mL

Bilt Hamber Re-View is a powerful deep-cleaning glass polish designed to restore heavily contaminated automotive glass and prepare it for a clean, contaminant-free finish. Its advanced chemical and abrasive dual-action formula, incorporating cerium oxide, is designed to tackle contamination that conventional glass cleaners cannot remove.

Re-View effectively removes oil and traffic film, mineral deposits, hard water marks, staining and failed water-repellent coatings, leaving the glass thoroughly cleaned and ready for subsequent glass protection products.

Unlike many traditional glass polishes, Re-View can be applied effectively by hand, making it suitable for both DIY enthusiasts and professional detailers. It can also be used with a machine polisher when treating larger areas or more stubborn contamination.

Deep-Clean Contaminated Glass

Automotive glass can accumulate contamination that ordinary glass cleaners cannot remove. Oils, road film, mineral deposits, water spots and remnants of old glass coatings can build up over time, affecting clarity and preventing new glass protection products from bonding correctly.

Bilt Hamber Re-View is specifically formulated to address these contaminants.

Its combination of chemical cleaning action and fine abrasive technology works into the glass surface to break down and remove stubborn contamination, including:

• Oil and greasy contamination
• Road and traffic film
• Hard water marks
• Mineral staining
• Water spotting
• Residue from old or failed glass coatings
• Water-repellent coating residues
• Other bonded surface contamination

Once treated, properly decontaminated glass should accept water as a flat, uniform film rather than immediately repelling it, providing a simple visual indication that the surface has been thoroughly cleaned.

Powerful Chemical + Abrasive Action

Re-View uses a combination of chemical cleaning technology and abrasive polishing action to tackle contamination that conventional glass cleaners may leave behind.

The formula contains cerium oxide, a recognised glass-polishing abrasive, helping Re-View tackle contamination and surface deposits while being suitable for controlled hand application.

This makes Re-View particularly useful when preparing glass for:

• Glass sealants
• Rain-repellent treatments
• Glass coatings
• Routine glass restoration
• Removal of previous or failed glass protection products

For professional applications, Re-View can also be machine polished, providing an efficient method of treating larger areas of glass.

Hand or Machine Application

One of the key advantages of Re-View is its versatility.

For general contamination and maintenance, it can be worked into the glass by hand using a damp, soft cotton cloth or suede microfibre.

For larger areas or more stubborn contamination, Re-View can also be used with a machine polisher. When machine polishing or working over larger sections, lightly mist the glass with water periodically to maintain suitable working conditions.

Important Application Notes

For the best results, use minimal product and work systematically in small sections. The glass should remain cool throughout the process.

When preparing glass for a new glass coating or water-repellent treatment, ensure all Re-View residue has been completely removed and the glass is clean and dry before applying the subsequent protection product.

Why Choose Bilt Hamber Re-View?

• Deep Glass Cleaning: Removes stubborn contamination that ordinary glass cleaners may leave behind.
• Chemical + Abrasive Technology: Combines chemical cleaning action with abrasive polishing technology and cerium oxide.
• Removes Mineral Contamination: Designed to tackle hard water marks, mineral staining and water spots.
• Removes Failed Glass Protection: Helps strip old or failed water-repellent coatings from automotive glass.
• Hand Application Possible: Effective without requiring a machine polisher.
• Machine Compatible: Can also be machine polished for larger areas and more demanding applications.
• Ideal Before Glass Protection: Provides a thoroughly cleaned glass surface suitable for subsequent glass protection treatments.

1. Work on cool glass only and keep the vehicle out of direct sunlight.
2. Thoroughly clean the glass first and remove any loose dirt or particulate contamination.
3. Work in manageable sections of approximately 30 × 30 cm.
4. Apply approximately one pea-sized amount of Re-View to a damp, soft cotton cloth or suede microfibre.
5. Work the product firmly into the glass using small circular motions.
6. When machine polishing or treating larger areas, lightly mist the glass with water periodically as required.
7. Once the area has been treated, the residue can either be rinsed away while still wet or allowed to dry completely and then buffed away with a clean, dry microfibre towel.
8. To check the level of decontamination, lightly atomise water onto the treated glass. Properly cleaned glass should allow the water to form a flat, uniform film rather than immediately beading or repelling water.
9. Wipe the glass dry after performing the water test.
