How Raincoat Glass Treatment Works
Raincoat glass treatment, sometimes referred to as a hydrophobic windshield coating, is a protective liquid that’s applied to a vehicle’s glass surfaces. Once applied and cured, the treatment causes water to bead up and roll off the glass, rather than spreading out and obstructing your view. It works similarly to how water behaves on a freshly-waxed car surface or a non-stick cooking pan.
What is Raincoat Glass Treatment Made Of?
The science behind raincoat glass treatments involves creating a chemical bond with the glass surface. Most treatments use silicone-based or fluoropolymer compounds that form an invisible, water-repellent barrier. This barrier smooths out microscopic imperfections on the glass, reducing surface tension and making it harder for water, dirt, snow, or ice to stick to the surface. When your vehicle is in motion, the airflow helps sweep the water off treated surfaces, even before using windshield wipers!
What are the Benefits of Raincoat Glass Treatment?
The primary benefit of raincoat glass treatment is improved visibility, reducing water streaking and buildup when it starts to rain or snow. However, notable secondary benefits of this service include easier cleaning of the windshield (as bugs, bird droppings, and grime are easier to remove than on non-treated surfaces) and extended wiper lifespans due to less friction wearing down on the blades.
