SOFT99 Glaco Super Speed 50ml – Fast-Apply Windshield Water Repellent
Long-Lasting Rain Repellency with a One-Step Application
Improve wet-weather visibility with SOFT99 Glaco Super Speed, an advanced automotive glass water-repellent coating designed for fast application and long-lasting performance. Using a fluoropolymer-based formula, Glaco Super Speed creates a hydrophobic film that helps rainwater bead up and move away from treated glass as air flows over the vehicle.
Its standout feature is the one-step application process. The supplied sponge applicator and special suede tissues help distribute the product evenly while absorbing excess liquid, eliminating the separate drying and buffing stages required by many traditional glass coatings.
SOFT99 advertises water-repellent protection lasting approximately six months, depending on weather, driving conditions, wiper use, and maintenance. The coating also offers oil-repellent properties to help limit the formation of an oily film on the glass.
Supplied in a compact 50ml bottle, Glaco Super Speed is a convenient option for drivers who want durable water repellency with less application time.

How to Apply SOFT99 Glaco Super Speed
Correct glass preparation is essential for good adhesion and consistent water repellency. Follow the instructions supplied with the product.
Step 1 – Clean and prepare the glass
Rinse away loose dust, grit, and dirt to avoid scratching the glass during application. For best results, use a dedicated glass compound such as SOFT99 Glaco Compound Roll On to remove stubborn traffic film and old coatings when necessary.
Rinse the glass thoroughly and dry it completely. Any remaining water droplets can interfere with the coating's performance.
Step 2 – Prepare the applicator
Shake the bottle thoroughly. Fit a clean, unused suede tissue to the supplied sponge applicator, following the instructions included in the package.
Step 3 – Dispense a controlled amount
Apply a modest amount of product to the suede in an M-shaped pattern. SOFT99's instructions suggest squeezing for approximately four seconds as a starting point; avoid saturating the tissue with excessive liquid.
Step 4 – Spread the product firmly and evenly
Wipe directly across the dry glass using firm, consistent pressure. A vertical-horizontal-vertical pattern helps achieve even coverage.
Work methodically, ensuring that the entire intended surface is treated. Because the product dries quickly, divide a large windshield into two sections and complete each section separately.
Step 5 – Check for a clear finish
The product is designed to be applied in one step without a separate buffing process. Inspect the glass carefully and continue wiping any area where visible white residue remains, following the supplied instructions.
Step 6 – Allow the coating to settle
For better durability, avoid exposing the treated glass to water or using glass cleaner for approximately 10 hours after application. Plan the application when the vehicle can remain dry during this period.
Maintenance and Aftercare
Wash the vehicle regularly using a pH-neutral car shampoo and gentle cleaning methods.
Avoid harsh glass cleaners or washer fluids that may weaken the coating.
Use a suitable glass-maintenance product, such as SOFT99 Glaco De Cleaner, if compatible with the coating and its care instructions.
If water repellency declines, inspect the glass for contamination, wiper wear, and residue before deciding whether to reapply.
For a fresh application, remove stubborn traffic film and incompatible old coatings where necessary.
Use a new suede tissue for each application as directed by SOFT99. The supplied suede tissues are intended for single use.
Keep windshield wipers in good condition and use them whenever necessary to maintain safe visibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does SOFT99 Glaco Super Speed last?
SOFT99 advertises protection lasting approximately six months. Actual durability varies with weather, driving frequency, wiper use, cleaning products, and glass preparation.
What makes Glaco Super Speed different from other Glaco coatings?
Its key advantage is the one-step application method. The special sponge and suede tissue help spread the product and absorb excess liquid, eliminating the separate buffing stage used with many traditional glass coatings.
Do I need to dry the windshield before applying it?
Yes. The glass must be clean and completely dry. Remaining water droplets can interfere with application and reduce the coating's effectiveness.
Can I apply it in one pass across the entire windshield?
The product dries quickly, so SOFT99 recommends dividing a large windshield into two sections and completing them separately. This helps maintain even coverage before the formula dries.
Can I use it on side and rear windows?
SOFT99's product information describes use on automotive glass surfaces, including front, rear, and side windows. Ensure each surface is clean and dry before application.
How long should I keep the glass dry after application?
SOFT99 recommends avoiding water exposure and glass cleaner for approximately 10 hours after application to help achieve better durability.
Does Glaco Super Speed work in light rain without windshield wipers?
The coating helps water bead up and move away from treated glass, particularly as airflow increases. However, performance depends on weather, vehicle speed, glass condition, and other factors. It does not replace windshield wipers. Always use your wipers whenever needed for safe visibility.
Can I apply it over an existing glass coating?
For consistent performance, prepare the glass appropriately before application. Stubborn contamination or an incompatible old coating may need to be removed first. SOFT99 Glaco Compound Roll On is a suitable option to consider for glass preparation.
Can I reuse the supplied suede tissue?
SOFT99 specifies that the suede tissues are for single use. Use a new tissue for each application rather than reusing a contaminated or dried-out one.
