0 falcaineer Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Potentially since the new formula has some protection added. Turns out the Surface Prep is a pretty good glass cleaner by itself, I recommend you use only that after washing the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 aa146 Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) @falcaineerThanks for the speedy response. So would you recommend any alternatives to use besides Surface Prep on glass before applying Graphene Spray Coating? Or should I not use Graphene Spray Coating on glass then?

0 falcaineer Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 To help get the best results possible and allow the coating to fully bond, the paint and glass need to be completely clean. To get that, you really should use something like Surface Prep that will remove any wax, sealant or polish oils. A 50/50 isopropyl alcohol based solution will work, too, but Surface Prep is designed for it. When you do apply it, be sure to level and remove residue from your trim. The instructions may say otherwise, but that's been known to cause unwanted and difficult to remove streaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rich Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I always use the Surface Prep before I apply any of the coatings. Alcohol will work just fine if you don't have any. But like Falcaineer said.........the surface has to be totally free of any oils, wax, sprays, etc. for the coating to stick and give you the best results.

Does the presence of hard water spots cause any issue with the coating bonding to the glass? My suburban has some that resist everything I through at them. Polish seems to do the best. I want to put the spray coating on the glass but don't want to waste time and money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried some 0000 steel wool and glass cleaner as lube? That worked for me with some bad water spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
