The Essential First Step for Maximum Glass Coating Performance
SOFT99 Glaco Compound Roll On is a specialized automotive glass polish and preparation compound designed to remove stubborn traffic film, water spots, oily contamination, road grime, mineral deposits, and remnants of old windshield coatings. Before applying any glass sealant or rain repellent, proper surface preparation is critical—and that's exactly where Glaco Compound Roll On excels.
Utilizing a dual-abrasive formula, this Japanese-made glass compound combines fine hard abrasives with larger soft abrasives to thoroughly clean automotive glass without requiring additional applicators. The integrated felt polishing head allows you to clean and prepare your windshield, side windows, and rear glass quickly and efficiently.
Whether you're removing an old windshield coating, restoring clarity to neglected glass, or preparing for a fresh application of SOFT99 Glaco Ultra, Glaco Roll On creates the ideal surface for long-lasting bonding and maximum hydrophobic performance.
Why Use Glaco Compound Roll On?
Many drivers apply glass coatings directly over contaminated glass surfaces. While the coating may initially appear effective, embedded contamination prevents proper bonding and reduces durability.
Glaco Compound Roll On solves this problem by removing:
- Traffic film buildup
- Oily road contamination
- Hard water spotting
- Mineral deposits
- Old windshield coatings
- Residual water repellents
- Environmental fallout
- General glass haze
The result is a perfectly clean glass surface that allows rain repellents and glass coatings to perform at their full potential.
Key Features:
Dual-Abrasive Cleaning Technology: SOFT99 combines two different abrasive types to break down stubborn contamination quickly and effectively. This unique formulation helps remove deposits that traditional glass cleaners cannot eliminate.
Built-In Felt Applicator: The integrated felt polishing head eliminates the need for separate applicator pads or sponges. Simply shake, apply, polish, and rinse.
Perfect Surface Preparation: Creates an ideal foundation for windshield coatings and rain repellents, helping maximize coating durability and performance.
Removes Old Glaco Coatings: Excellent for stripping old Glaco applications before reapplying a fresh layer.
Improves Visibility: By removing embedded contamination and haze, glass becomes noticeably clearer, especially during night driving and wet-weather conditions.
Aftercare & Maintenance
To maximize the performance of your newly coated glass:
- Use pH-neutral automotive shampoos during maintenance washes.
- Replace worn windshield wipers regularly.
- Avoid abrasive glass cleaners after coating application.
- Remove heavy contamination promptly.
- Reapply your chosen Glaco coating when water repellency begins to diminish.
- Keep washer fluid reservoirs topped up with quality washer fluid compatible with glass coatings.
