SOFT99 Glaco Blave 70ml G-100 – Water Repellent for Glass & Plastic
Advanced Water Repellent for Automotive Glass and Transparent Plastic
Help rainwater bead up and roll away with SOFT99 Glaco Blave G-100, a versatile water-repellent coating designed for both glass and suitable transparent plastic surfaces. Unlike many conventional glass coatings that are intended for glass only, Glaco Blave can be used on a wider range of vehicle and riding equipment surfaces, including windshields, headlight covers, wind guards, and helmet shields.
Its built-in felt applicator makes application straightforward, while the quick wipe-off process eliminates the need for an extended curing or drying period. Once applied correctly, the hydrophobic surface helps water move away more easily and can make routine cleaning more convenient.
Supplied in a compact 70ml bottle, Glaco Blave is a practical choice for automotive enthusiasts, motorcyclists, and anyone looking for a convenient water-repellent treatment for compatible transparent surfaces.

How to Apply SOFT99 Glaco Blave
For the best results, prepare the surface properly and follow the manufacturer's application instructions.
Step 1 – Clean and dry the surface
Thoroughly clean the glass or compatible transparent plastic to remove dirt, dust, oils, and other contamination. The surface must be completely dry before application.
Step 2 – Prepare the applicator
Remove the cap and place the felt applicator directly against the surface. Gently squeeze the bottle to dispense a small amount of liquid. Keep the applicator in contact with the surface while dispensing to help prevent splashing.
Step 3 – Spread the product evenly
Rub the felt applicator firmly but gently across the intended area. Work methodically and ensure complete coverage without applying excessive pressure, particularly on plastic surfaces that may scratch or deform.
Step 4 – Wipe off immediately
Using the supplied cloth, wipe away the product before it dries. Do not leave the liquid sitting on the surface for an extended period, as this can cause unevenness or staining.
Step 5 – Inspect the finish
Check the treated surface from different angles to confirm that it is clear and transparent, with no streaks or visible residue. If necessary, finish wiping with a clean section of the cloth.
Step 6 – Check before use
Make sure the treated surface provides clear visibility before driving or riding. Follow the vehicle or equipment manufacturer's guidance for the treated component.
Maintenance and Aftercare
Keep treated surfaces clean using a compatible cleaner and a soft, clean cloth.
Avoid abrasive pads or aggressive rubbing that could scratch plastic or damage the treatment.
If water repellency decreases, clean and reapply the product as directed.
Do not allow dirt to accumulate on the felt applicator. If it becomes dirty, remove and clean it thoroughly, then let it dry completely before reuse.
If the surface already has a different water-repellent coating, the result may be reduced or uneven. Consider appropriate surface preparation before applying Glaco Blave.
After application, follow SOFT99's guidance to wash the surface with car shampoo or an appropriate cleaner.
Always inspect the treated surface for clarity before operating the vehicle or equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Glaco Blave different from other Glaco products?
Its key distinction is compatibility with both glass and suitable transparent plastic surfaces. Many conventional Glaco coatings are designed for glass only, whereas Blave is intended for a broader range of transparent components.
Can I use Glaco Blave on headlights?
SOFT99 lists headlight lenses and lamp covers among its intended applications. Confirm that the specific lens material and any existing protective coating are compatible before use, and test an inconspicuous area first.
Can I use it on a motorcycle helmet visor?
SOFT99 lists compatible helmet shields and goggles among its intended applications. Check the helmet manufacturer's care instructions first, especially for anti-glare, anti-fog, tinted, or specially coated visors. Do not apply it to a surface if the helmet manufacturer prohibits such treatments.
Can I apply Glaco Blave to wet glass or plastic?
No. The surface must be clean and completely dry before application.
How long do I need to wait before wiping it off?
There is no extended drying period. Spread the product evenly and wipe it off with the supplied cloth before it dries.
Does Glaco Blave have a specific durability rating?
SOFT99's product information emphasizes quick application and water repellency but does not specify a universal protection period in months. Actual performance depends on the surface material, preparation, weather, and cleaning routine.
Can I use it on any type of plastic?
No. Although Glaco Blave is designed for glass and suitable transparent plastics, compatibility can vary by material and surface treatment. Check the component manufacturer's guidance and test an inconspicuous area before treating the entire surface.
Can I apply it over another coating?
An existing coating may affect the result. SOFT99 notes that full performance may not be achieved when the surface has a coating other than Glaco. Appropriate oil-film or coating removal may be needed before application.
Does Glaco Blave replace windshield wipers?
No. It is a water-repellent treatment, not a substitute for windshield wipers. Keep wipers in good condition and use them whenever necessary to maintain safe visibility.

Important Precautions
Use only for the intended purpose and check the vehicle or equipment owner's manual before application. Apply only to clean, dry surfaces. Do not use in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces, and avoid application below 0°C. When temperatures are below 10°C, SOFT99 advises warming the glass with the vehicle's heater and defogger before application.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes, clothing, paint, and unintended surfaces. Wipe accidental contact away immediately with a clean, damp towel as directed. Wear protective gloves, wash your hands after use, and keep the product away from heat and fire. Keep it out of reach of children.
Do not apply excessive pressure, particularly to plastic components. Test an inconspicuous area first and ensure the surface remains clear after treatment. Changes in temperature or humidity may temporarily cause glass to appear white; if visibility is affected, use the wipers immediately.
