Optivax 1st Gear May 26, 2013 Share May 26, 2013 (edited) Once again Optimum technology has come up with a new coating and this time is meant for glass. Optiglass is a coating with hydrophobic effect for glass and it suppose to prevent stone chips, scratches and those usual water stains and marls for pollutant. How good it is? I decided to put on test on my berlingo windscreen. It has been awhile since i touch the machine. With the help from Jeremy of Miracle detail. Everything went smoothly. Polishing windscreen is never a easy job as it require the correct material and equipment. Unlike paint, glass is much harder, probably those expert in glass polishing knows better. My windscreen has been a testbed for various products amd this is how bad under the inspection light. Material used. Cerium oxide and rayon pad. Cerium oxide has good cutting amdit works well with machine. If you are using hand, i would advice you to get those off the shelves glass polish.

Optivax 1st Gear May 26, 2013 Author Share May 26, 2013 (edited) A Dual action was used but it is too slow for cutting and i proceed to use a rotary. The rayon was a real solid pad which is able to withstand heat and long working time but concern is if the glass is going to break..haha i doubt so..

Optivax 1st Gear May 26, 2013 Author Share May 26, 2013 (edited) 70 percent ipa was used to wipe down.. After some heavy polish.. Opti glass coating. I believe should be the only coating for glass in the market now. Cotton used for application. A total of 3 cars have been coated last few days. Feedback is no judder at all and wipers wipe much smoother. I have applied on for a owner who had wiper juddering for long time and had try various products but does not help. Personally i feel that the wipers wipe are indeed smoother and the wipe are much cleaner. Will update for any founding. One more thing, hydrophobic effect around 70km/hr.
