Gtechniq - Glass sealent kit - G1,G2 & G4

Great buy. I got it last August, still going strong now and I've yet to top it up (something that incidentally I'm doing this weekend)

Really is good!

[Chapppers11]

Wish I'd just bought that instead of the Wolf's!

I'm not in love with G1 yet tbh.

Still requires wipers in most situations I find.

You're going to laugh at me here... but I found that Rain-X was just as good at beading on the clio, (it just didn't last as long as G-Techniq) but was better on the Focus, I thought it might be the angle of windscreen being shallower on the Focus, so the rain can pass over it better.

Hope that doesn't sound too outrageously stupid

I've never used a product where I would be happy to not use the wipers TBH, but G1 does come close on many occasions. G3 or G5 now was a little better due to it starting at lower speeds

What sort of driving are you doing?

The G1 starts to run off at around 50mph+

G5 (was G3) runs of from around 30mph+, which is better if you're driving around town. Durability is a little less, although saying that i've had it on mine for 2 years and it's only just started to wear off

After you told me about it on Sunday, I just had to get some

What are the actual differences between G1 and G5 then?

Not going to lie... I was wondering this!

[aucky]

Longevity.

I need me a good glass product.

I've got G1/G2 on mine.

I wouldn't even entertain anything else tbh.

Same!

I though RX performed better tbh, G1 doesn't seem to suffer from wiper trais though tank to its extreme durability.

Clios gave a fairly steep windscreen angle tbf.

All sorts.

Town driving-
Its great WITH wipers.

Motorway-
Some roll off at 50mph+
Good in heavy downpours
Light rain, drizzle, and road spray does not roll off. It build up and up in small tight beads and refracts more and more light.

What are the actual differences between G1 and G5 then?

G1 lasts longer, but requires a slightly higher speed before water runs off.
G5 is a maximum repellency coating, so water runs off from about 20-30mph.

I'll do yours on Sunday if you want.

What are the actual differences between G1 and G5 then?

G1 can be considered as a semi permanent sealant that will last 12 - 18months +, is resistant to glass cleaners as I occasionally use and starts to bead from about 45-50mph.

G5 (was G3) I only found last 6months on the front screen but beaded from as low as 30-35mph.

G5 is better for perspex or plastic glass whereas G1 is for glass only

[Christopher]

Yus please.

Weird, because mine has only just started to wear off after 20+ months... no joke.

[JamesBryan]

Yus please.

Would you like G1 or G5?
