Soft99 Glaco Glass Compound Roll On

Deep-clean and prepare automotive glass for maximum coating performance. SOFT99 Glaco Glass Compound Roll On is a specialised glass polishing compound designed to remove stubborn contamination, oily film, old coating residue and other deposits that ordinary glass cleaners may struggle to eliminate.

Its unique abrasive formulation combines small, hard polishing particles with larger, softer particles to effectively clean the glass surface while providing a controlled polishing action. The convenient built-in roll-on applicator makes application simple and allows you to work the compound directly onto the glass.

Most importantly, Glaco Glass Compound Roll On is an excellent surface-preparation step before applying a glass coating or rain-repellent treatment. By removing residues and contamination that can interfere with coating adhesion, it helps create a clean glass surface ready for your chosen protection.

Key Features

• Deep-cleaning glass compound – Removes stubborn contamination from automotive glass.
• Removes oily film – Designed to eliminate oil-based road film and residues that can cause glass to repel water unevenly.

• 100mL capacity – Convenient size for repeated glass-preparation applications.

Why Glass Preparation Matters

Applying a rain-repellent coating to glass that still contains oily road film, mineral deposits, old coating residue or other contamination can compromise the final result.

Even when glass looks clean, microscopic contamination can remain on the surface. These residues can prevent a new coating from contacting the glass evenly, potentially resulting in inconsistent water behaviour, reduced performance or shorter coating life.

Glaco Glass Compound Roll On is designed specifically to address this problem by polishing and cleaning the glass before the application of a new coating.

Advanced Abrasive Formula

The compound uses a combination of small, hard abrasive particles and larger, softer particles. This combination allows the product to tackle difficult contamination and oily films while providing an effective polishing action on automotive glass.

When worked correctly, the compound progressively removes the surface contamination until the glass stops repelling the liquid. This provides a useful visual indication that the contamination has been sufficiently removed and the surface is ready for the next stage of preparation.

What Can Glaco Glass Compound Roll On Remove?

• Oily road film
• Fluorine film
• Old glass-coating residue
• Stubborn surface contamination
• Water-repellent residues
• Other deposits that cause glass to repel liquids unevenly

Important: Glaco Glass Compound Roll On is intended primarily for cleaning and polishing automotive glass. It is not a glass-repair product and should not be expected to remove deep scratches, chips, cracks or permanent etching in the glass.

Built-In Roll-On Applicator

One of the major advantages of Glaco Glass Compound Roll On is its integrated applicator system. Instead of requiring a separate bottle and polishing pad, the compound is dispensed through the applicator by gently squeezing the handle.

This allows the product to be applied directly to the glass and worked into the surface using the supplied polishing pad. The applicator pad can subsequently be removed, washed and dried for future use.

How to Know When the Glass Is Properly Prepared

One of the useful characteristics of Glaco Glass Compound Roll On is the change in how the glass interacts with liquid during polishing.

Continue working the compound until the surface stops repelling liquid. This indicates that the hydrophobic contamination and existing surface residues have been substantially removed.

Once the compound has been thoroughly removed and the glass is clean, dry and residue-free, the surface is ready for the application of a suitable glass coating or rain-repellent treatment.

Before Applying a New Glass Coating

Glaco Glass Compound Roll On is particularly valuable when replacing an existing glass treatment.

Rather than simply applying a new rain-repellent product over the remnants of an old coating, use the compound to remove the previous treatment and surface contamination first. This provides a much cleaner starting point for the new coating.

This preparation is especially worthwhile when you notice:

• Uneven water behaviour across the glass
• Old rain-repellent residue
• Persistent oily film
• Glass that remains difficult to clean
• Water spots or mineral contamination
• Reduced performance from an existing glass coating

For Best Results

• Always begin with glass that has been washed and cleared of loose contamination.
• Work on one glass section at a time.
• Use sufficient product to maintain effective contact between the applicator and glass.
• Continue polishing until the glass stops repelling liquid.
• Do not leave dried compound residue on the glass.
• Thoroughly rinse and remove the compound slurry before applying any coating.
• Ensure the glass is completely clean and dry before applying the next product.
• Wash and dry the applicator pad after use so it is ready for future applications.

What Glaco Glass Compound Roll On Is NOT

Glaco Glass Compound Roll On is a glass cleaning and preparation compound. It should not be confused with a glass rain-repellent coating.

It does not provide the final hydrophobic protection itself. Instead, its role is to remove contamination and old residues so that a subsequent glass coating can be applied to a properly prepared surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Glaco Glass Compound Roll On used for?

It is a dedicated glass polishing and preparation compound designed to remove stubborn oily dirt, fluorine film, old coating residue and other contamination from automotive glass before applying a new glass coating.

Does Glaco Glass Compound Roll On make glass hydrophobic?

No. Its primary purpose is to remove contamination and prepare the glass. After the glass has been properly prepared, apply a suitable rain-repellent or glass coating separately.

Can I use it before applying Glaco Roll On?

Yes. It is an ideal preparation product before applying a SOFT99 Glaco glass coating. The compound removes residues that could otherwise interfere with the new coating.

Can it remove water spots?

It is designed to remove stubborn glass contamination and oily/fluorine films. Its abrasive polishing action can also assist with mineral-type contamination, although deeply etched or permanently damaged glass may require professional polishing or replacement.

Do I need a machine polisher?

No. Glaco Glass Compound Roll On is designed for manual application using its integrated roll-on applicator.

Can the applicator be reused?

Yes. The polishing pad can be removed from the applicator, washed and dried for future use.

How do I know when I have polished enough?

Continue polishing until the glass stops repelling liquid. This is the indication provided in the SOFT99 application instructions that the surface has been sufficiently prepared.

Can I apply a glass coating immediately afterwards?

Yes, once the compound has been completely removed and the glass is thoroughly clean and dry. Make sure no compound residue, slurry or water remains before proceeding with the chosen coating.
