Keep your automotive glass cleaner and improve wet-weather visibility with SOFT99 Glaco De Cleaner 400ml, a convenient 2-in-1 glass cleaner and water-repellent treatment designed for everyday vehicle maintenance. Combining effective cleaning agents with Glaco water-repellent technology, this versatile product helps remove stubborn dirt, insect residue, bird droppings, road grime, and other contaminants while leaving behind a hydrophobic layer that helps repel rainwater.
Unlike a conventional automotive glass cleaner that focuses solely on removing dirt, Glaco De Cleaner also helps maintain water repellency on compatible glass surfaces. Its easy-to-use trigger spray makes it simple to clean your windshield and other suitable windows while refreshing their water-repellent performance in a single step.
When applied correctly, the hydrophobic treatment encourages rainwater to move away from the glass as driving speed increases. SOFT99 states that its water-repellent effect begins at approximately 60 km/h, potentially reducing the amount of water remaining on the windshield in suitable conditions.
Whether you're maintaining an existing Glaco windshield coating, cleaning your glass between detailing sessions, or looking for a quick way to improve water repellency, SOFT99 Glaco De Cleaner offers a practical solution for routine automotive glass care.
Clean your glass, refresh water repellency, and make everyday maintenance easier with SOFT99 Glaco De Cleaner 400ml.

SOFT99 Glaco De Cleaner combines cleaning agents with a water-repellent resin to provide two functions in one application.
First, the cleaning formula helps loosen and remove contamination from automotive glass. This includes common deposits such as insect residue, bird droppings, road film, and everyday dirt that can reduce visibility.
Second, the water-repellent component leaves a hydrophobic treatment on the cleaned surface. This helps reduce water adhesion and encourages rainwater to move away from the glass.
The product is especially useful for maintaining compatible Glaco water-repellent coatings, although its performance and longevity will depend on the condition of the glass, existing treatments, environmental exposure, and subsequent cleaning.
SOFT99 describes the product as providing water repellency from approximately 60 km/h or above. This does not mean that water will always clear the windshield completely at that speed. Rainfall intensity, vehicle speed, airflow, windshield condition, and wiper performance all affect visibility.
Important: Glaco De Cleaner is a maintenance-oriented cleaner and water-repellent treatment. It is not a substitute for a dedicated glass compound when removing stubborn mineral deposits or preparing heavily contaminated glass for a new long-lasting coating.
Conventional glass cleaners remove dirt and fingerprints but generally do not provide the same water-repellent maintenance benefit as a dedicated hydrophobic glass product.
SOFT99 Glaco De Cleaner combines both functions, making it a practical choice for drivers who want to maintain clean glass and support water repellency without performing a complete coating application every time.
It is particularly useful for:
Maintaining an existing compatible Glaco windshield coating.
Cleaning glass between full detailing sessions.
Removing everyday road grime and insect residue.
Refreshing water repellency on suitable exterior glass.
Cleaning interior glass while minimizing the amount of product used.
Keeping windows clean during regular vehicle maintenance.
For vehicles frequently exposed to rain, road spray, and highway driving, regular glass maintenance can help preserve clear visibility and reduce the buildup of stubborn contamination.
Correct application helps ensure effective cleaning, an even water-repellent finish, and minimal streaking.
Park the vehicle in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Ensure the glass is cool to the touch and avoid applying the product in direct sunlight or on hot windows.
Working on hot glass can cause the liquid to dry too quickly and leave streaks or residue.
If the glass contains loose dust, sand, or gritty contamination, remove it before wiping. This helps reduce the risk of scratching the glass during cleaning.
For heavily soiled exterior glass, a preliminary rinse may help remove loose road grime before using the cleaner.
Shake the bottle thoroughly and turn the nozzle to the ON position.
Check that the spray pattern is suitable for applying the product evenly. Keep the nozzle pointed away from your face and body.
Hold the bottle approximately 15–20 cm away from the glass and apply a light, even spray.
Work on a manageable section at a time rather than saturating the entire windshield. This makes it easier to spread the product evenly and remove dirt before the liquid dries.
Using a clean, soft towel or microfibre cloth, wipe the glass while spreading the liquid evenly across the surface.
Use light pressure and turn the towel frequently to expose a clean section. Replace the towel if it becomes heavily contaminated.
Continue until the dirt and remaining product have been removed and the glass is clear.
Glaco De Cleaner can also be used on the inside of automotive windows. However, avoid spraying directly toward the dashboard, electronic components, interior trim, or other surrounding surfaces.
Instead, spray a small amount onto a clean towel and wipe the interior glass. Use a separate dry, clean towel if needed to remove excess residue and achieve a clear finish.
Check the windshield and windows from different angles under good lighting. Look for streaks, smears, or remaining contamination and address them before driving.
Always ensure the windshield, mirrors, and windows provide clear visibility before operating the vehicle.
Proper maintenance helps keep your glass clean and supports the performance of compatible water-repellent coatings.
Dirty towels can redistribute contamination and leave streaks. Use clean, soft microfibre towels for routine glass cleaning and keep separate towels for interior and exterior surfaces.
Avoid using towels that contain wax, polishing compounds, or other detailing residues.
Wash the vehicle and clean the glass as needed to prevent road film, insect residue, and other contamination from accumulating.
For heavy contamination, remove loose dirt first and use an appropriate glass-cleaning method before applying a maintenance product.
Glaco De Cleaner is designed to help maintain compatible water-repellent glass treatments. Regular use may help refresh the hydrophobic effect, but the product is not a permanent coating.
Actual durability depends on washing frequency, weather exposure, contamination, and the condition of the underlying coating.
SOFT99 instructs users not to use Glaco De Cleaner with coatings other than water-repellent coatings. If the glass has a different treatment, verify compatibility before applying the product.
If you are preparing glass for a new long-lasting rain-repellent coating, use the preparation product recommended by that coating's manufacturer.
Inspect the windshield periodically for streaking, smearing, or wiper chatter. If these symptoms occur, clean the glass and inspect the wiper blades for wear or contamination.
A water-repellent product cannot compensate for damaged wipers, a contaminated windshield, or other visibility problems.
After use, close the nozzle and store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
SOFT99 recommends storage below 40°C and advises avoiding freezing conditions, humidity, and direct sunlight. Keep the product securely stored and out of reach of children.
Use on glass only: Do not apply to dashboards, painted panels, plastic trim, rubber, or other surfaces. The product may stain materials other than glass.
Avoid direct sunlight: Applying the cleaner to hot glass can cause streaking and make residue more difficult to remove.
Remove loose grit first: Dust and sand can scratch glass when rubbed across the surface.
Use a clean, soft towel: Contaminated or abrasive towels can cause scratches or smears.
Avoid overspray inside the vehicle: Spray the product onto a towel when cleaning interior glass to protect the dashboard and nearby components.
Do not use while driving: Apply the product only when the vehicle is safely parked.
Use in a well-ventilated area: Avoid breathing spray mist or vapours.
Avoid contact with eyes and skin: Wear suitable protective gloves and wash your hands with soap after use.
Keep away from ignition sources: The formula is flammable. Keep it away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
Do not ingest the product: Keep it out of reach of children and seek appropriate medical assistance if accidental ingestion occurs.
Check coating compatibility: Do not use on glass treatments other than compatible water-repellent coatings.
Do not rely on water repellency alone: Always use functioning windshield wipers and ensure visibility is adequate in all weather conditions.
