Got this on my windscreen yesterday, took a bit of time to get it on and setup and this morning when going to work was a perfect opportunity to test it out as it was pissing down.
Ok, first up, dont put this crap anywhere near your windows. If you detail much and notice what happens when you put wax layers on your car, well the exact same thing happens to your windscreen, you get beading, lots of em and you cant see sh!t. Use your wipers ? Ok, dont that, all they do is smear and your wipers 'shudder' as they are being used. If you go faster, say 40mph, it still doesnt completely clear, Id say you would have to be going pretty fast for the car windows to clear after using this crap.
Unless I'm missing something, dont use this anywhere near your windows.

you on about the sealant for the paintwork or the glass kit?? :undecided:
The Carlack glass kit is superb and I found at motorway speeds you don't need to use your wipers!

The glass kit.
Motorway may be fine, unless you live on the motorway your gonna have to get there first and its practically impossible to see to then get to the motorway to pick up the speed for your windows to clear.

Is there a particular method it should be applied ? I just applied it in swirl motions like the instructions said.

The car has had its foam wash and normal wash previously so I assume the window is pre-cleaned. I then use the Carlack68 cleaner (thats the stuff that turns a shade of grey to be buffed off) then the Carlack68 sealant on top of that.
Dont tell me I bought the wrong stuff. :lipsrsealed:

It's easy saying get to 40-50, but when you cant see its impossible. Busy non-main roads where your stopping and starting, stopping at traffic lights, going past school runs, in and out short roads is when you cant go 40-50. How do you clear the window when its raining ? It just beads.
If you go over 40-50 fine, for anything else, its useless and by that time you've crashed, caused an accident or been pulled by the police cause you aint cleared your window.

Under 40mph you might have to use your windscreen wipers.. Its a chore I know. Do you not have the automatic rain sensor pack fitted? It will save you having to move a finger :wink:

I ha the same problem with this so it won't go near my front window!

weird :undecided: stupid question but are you sure you're using the products the right way round? :huh:
black cap - creamy beige stuff is the cleanser
white cap - tasty alcohol flavoured stuff is the sealant

If you look at my first post, I've clearly said the wiper 'shudders' :rolleyes: If you scroll up and read it will save you having to type with your own little fingers. :wink:

The one with the dna type picture on the bottle I assumed was the sealant, which is the watery stuff is what I used last.

The guys that say it works well at low speeds are fibbing me thinks. The beading is so tight its like a white haze over the window. Ok, use the wipers, they will rub and shudder as they are being used then when you go over 40-50 mph you'll get the beading moving away and have runs over the windows, which you'll need to wiper away again.
Sorry I just cant recommend it, infact its kinda sh!te. :grin:

Think you might need some new wipers Kev? They dont lasts very long anyway, and if the car was stood still for a while befor being shipped over when you got it they may well need repalcing?? :cool:

I never said it works at low speeds. From my experience it only works well 60mph and above though at low speeds I don't get any shuddering with the wipers nor smearing

Kev, maybe try new wipers, although you surely wouldnt need new ones yet? :undecided:

:grin: :grin: I think Kev is a touch wound up at the moment due to his smearing issue and juddery wipers...
as a thought Kev... were you very liberal with the application? Did you perhaps not remove it all?
have you thought of contacting the vendor or Carlack about this issue and see what their recommendations are?
-
My wipers were fine before Carlack so I would think they are not the prob.
Guy : Not sure, I might have put too much on ? Might be put too little on ? I'm not sure. All it said in the instructions was to apply it with a paper towel, so thats what I did. I'm pretty sure I removed it all, all I had to go on to judge that was the window becoming crystal clear again and thats what I waited to see while buffing it off. Good shout on contacting the vendor/carlack, it wont do any harm.

With all due respect Kev the intructions are not very clear on the bottle, most of it its in German? But I have to say its works very well on my motor, yes its much better at certain speeds!! Enjoy Steve :cool:

There's English instructions on each bottle too. :wink:
Anyone know of an easy way to get it off ? I could then re-apply to see if I have made an arse of it.

Good shout, will have to be careful using it though. Ta much.

i use this stuff and its brill never had a problem just make sure you wipe off well after left on and its all good

I re-applied this to my windows at the weekend. It seems to get better as you layer it up (last applied it about 3 months ago).
I don't bother with the white cleaning cream anymore. I did it the first time but that was it. With the sealant, I leave it on for 10 mins and then use a wet paper towel to remove it otherwise it's virtually impossible.
Once i've been over the windows with the wet towel, I use a clean MF to buff off any water marks.
