How does glass protection work?
Eurocoat uses nano-technology to restore and protect your glass - to keep it looking clean and sparkling for longer. Restore your glass to its former glory with glass restoration, and protect your glass from water, dirt, and other contaminants adhering and getting stuck under the surface.
-
Glass is made up of tiny, microscopic ridges, meaning the surface is not completely flat.
-
Water and dirt spread out on the uneven surface, filling these ridges and getting stuck, leading to watermarks and build-up over time. This leaves the glass looking milky or opaque.
-
Glass protection uses nano-technology, tiny particles, to fill the ridges and make the surface of your glass even and smooth.
-
Once glass protection has been applied, the water will bead, unable to penetrate the ridges of your glass. Any small amount of water and dirt left on top of the surface is now super easy to wipe off with a cloth.
How to apply your glass treatment
Our glass protection and restoration products can be applied to any smooth glass surface, such as showers, windows, windscreens, splashbacks, balustrades, etc. It’s best to apply your treatment to brand new glass that has never been used. However, restoration treatments are also available, either DIY or through an approved professional applicator.
See below some videos and instructions on how to treat your glass.
1. Restore
Brand new glass? Skip this step and head straight to cleaning.
If the glass has been damaged by watermarks or etching you will need to restore the glass before applying Eurocoat Glass Premium. This typically means showers/windows/splashbacks older than a month, pool balustrade glass close to an irrigation system older than a week, but will vary depending on use and surrounding conditions. Feel free to contact us for advice if you’re unsure.
There are two methods of restoring, by hand or with help of an orbital sander, which can be purchased at your local hardware store, see instructions below. As a general guide, use our white scourer pads for lightly damaged/stained surfaces or blue scourer pads for heavily damaged surfaces.
Pro tip: Shine a flashlight from behind the glass to better see the watermarks, or the absence of them.
By hand
- Apply Eurocoat Rejuvenator to a scourer and apply thoroughly in a swirling motion for 2-3 minutes on the same A4 sized patch. Then work your way over the rest of the surface, one patch at the time.
- Clean the glass with soapy water and a microfiber cloth, rinse and squeegee off.
Orbital sander
For heavily damaged surfaces, an orbital sander will help you get the best result possible. You can purchase an orbital sander from your local hardware store. If you don’t have any experience using an orbital sander, we would recommend restoring the glass by hand or calling one of our approved applicators.
Attach a scourer pad (cut the corners off) and apply Eurocoat Rejuvenator. Slowly go over the glass first vertically and then horizontally, to be sure to cover the whole surface. Apply more Rejuvenator to the pad as needed.
Clean the glass with soapy water and a microfiber cloth, rinse and squeegee off.
2. Clean
Before applying Eurocoat Glass Premium, you must make sure that the surface is free of all types of dirt and cleaning product residues.
Clean the surface with household detergent, if needed.
Using the Eurocoat Preclean on a White Application cloth, remove any residual cleaning products sitting on the glass surface. (Eurocoat White Application, won’t absorb the product, giving you longer usage)
3. Apply
Shake the Eurocoat Glass Premium Bottle well before starting.
Spray your White Application Cloth with two sprays or Eurocoat Glass Premium and apply to the surface, using the up and down method. Apply more Eurocoat Glass Premium to your White Application Cloth as you continue to work over the surface. Overall Consumption 5-10ml per sqm.
Polish with a dry microfibre cloth to avoid any visible product residue
4. Stabilise
Done! The coating is stable after 10 minutes. After 24 hours it is abrasion and chemical resistant. Attention: Chemicals with a pH value of 13 and 14 can attack the coating.
You know the application has been successful if you splash some water on the surface and the water is beading off.
5. Aftercare
Follow our aftercare instructions to maintain your treatment for as long as possible.
