This can reduce clarity and create distracting water distortion, particularly at night or when driving in heavy rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltra Glaco changes the behaviour of water on the treated surface. Its hydrophobic coating causes water to form droplets and rapidly move across the glass rather than remaining as a continuous film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt speed, airflow can assist in clearing water from the windscreen, while the coating also helps make it easier for windscreen wipers to remove remaining water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt for Everyday Driving\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltra Glaco is particularly well suited to vehicles that are driven regularly in wet conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDaily-driven vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong-distance and highway vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVehicles regularly exposed to rain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommuter vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4WDs and SUVs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVehicles where long coating durability is preferred\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProfessional-Level Glass Preparation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the best possible result, treat the windscreen preparation as seriously as the coating application itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the windscreen has been previously treated with a rain repellent, has significant oily road film or has stubborn contamination, simply washing the glass may not be enough.
