Soft99 Glaco Mirror Coat Zero

Keep your mirrors and reverse cameras clearer in wet weather. SOFT99 Glaco Mirror Coat Zero is a specialised water-repellent coating designed specifically for exterior mirrors and other reverse-facing surfaces, including reverse cameras.

Its unique coating technology creates a super-fine microscopic surface structure that helps prevent water from remaining across the treated surface. Rather than allowing rainwater to spread into a continuous film over the mirror, the treatment encourages water to repel from the surface, helping maintain a clearer view when reversing in wet conditions.

The convenient spray format makes application quick and straightforward. Simply clean the surface, spray evenly from approximately 15cm away and allow the coating to dry completely.

Designed Specifically for Side Mirrors

Glaco Mirror Coat Zero is different from conventional windscreen rain repellents. It is designed specifically for side mirrors and reverse-facing surfaces, where maintaining a clear view can be particularly difficult during rain.

Side mirrors can quickly become covered with water droplets during wet weather, making it harder to see surrounding traffic and obstacles. Glaco Mirror Coat Zero creates a specialised microscopic coating designed to prevent water from remaining across the mirror surface.

Microscopic Water-Repellent Coating

The technology behind Glaco Mirror Coat Zero works by creating a super-fine microscopic coating over the treated surface.

This coating is designed to prevent water from remaining on the mirror, helping rainwater move away from the treated surface rather than forming a continuous layer that can obscure visibility.

The result is a mirror surface that is better suited to maintaining visibility when driving in wet conditions.

Ideal for Reverse Cameras

Glaco Mirror Coat Zero can also be used on suitable reverse-camera surfaces. This is particularly useful because even a small amount of water on a reverse camera lens can significantly reduce image clarity.

When applying to a reverse camera, ensure the lens is thoroughly clean and suitable for treatment before application.

Important Application Tips

• Preparation is essential: The mirror or camera lens must be thoroughly clean before application.
• Use a clean surface: Oils, dirt and existing residues can interfere with the coating.
• Protect surrounding surfaces: Use the product packaging or a towel around the mirror to help prevent overspray from contacting other parts of the vehicle.
• Maintain the correct spray distance: Apply from approximately 15cm away.
• Spray evenly: Ensure the entire intended surface receives consistent coverage.
• Do not wipe after application: Allow the coating to dry naturally.
• Do not touch while drying: Contact with the surface during the drying period can affect the coating.
• Allow adequate curing time: Approximately 1 hour in summer and 2 hours in winter is recommended before the treated surface is disturbed.

Why Clean the Mirror Before Application?

For the coating to work correctly, the mirror surface needs to be as clean as possible. Dirt, oils, traffic film and residues can interfere with the formation of the water-repellent coating and may result in inconsistent performance.

For heavily contaminated mirrors, SOFT99 recommends cleaning with car shampoo or using an appropriate glass-cleaning compound such as Glaco Compound Roll On before applying Mirror Coat Zero.

Wet-Weather Visibility

Rain on side mirrors can create a difficult combination of water droplets, distortion and glare. Glaco Mirror Coat Zero is designed to address this problem by creating a water-repellent microscopic coating that helps prevent water from remaining across the treated surface.

This makes it particularly useful for:

• Daily drivers
• Vehicles frequently driven in wet weather
• Highway and long-distance driving
• Commercial vehicles
• 4WDs and SUVs
• Vehicles without heated side mirrors
• Vehicles where reverse-camera visibility is important

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Glaco Mirror Coat Zero?

Glaco Mirror Coat Zero is a specialised water-repellent coating designed for exterior vehicle mirrors and suitable reverse-camera surfaces. It creates a super-fine microscopic coating designed to prevent water from remaining on the treated surface.

Can I use Glaco Mirror Coat Zero on my windscreen?

No. Glaco Mirror Coat Zero is specifically designed for side mirrors and reverse-facing surfaces. For windscreens and other conventional glass applications, use an appropriate SOFT99 Glaco glass treatment instead.

Can I use it on reverse cameras?

Yes. SOFT99 specifically identifies reverse cameras as a suitable application. Ensure the camera lens is clean and suitable for the treatment before application.

How far away should I spray?

Spray evenly from approximately 15cm away from the mirror or reverse-camera surface.

Do I wipe the product off?

No. Glaco Mirror Coat Zero is designed to be left to dry. Do not touch or wipe the surface while it is drying.

How long does it take to dry?

SOFT99 recommends allowing approximately 1 hour in summer and 2 hours in winter for the coating to dry completely.

Can I spray it directly onto the mirror?

Yes. The product is designed to be sprayed evenly onto the mirror surface. However, SOFT99 recommends using the product packaging or placing a towel around the mirror to help prevent overspray from contacting surrounding vehicle surfaces.

What should I use to prepare the mirror?

Start by thoroughly cleaning the mirror with car shampoo. If the mirror has stubborn contamination or residues, an appropriate glass compound such as SOFT99 Glaco Compound Roll On can be used as part of the preparation process.

Why Choose SOFT99 Glaco Mirror Coat Zero?
