Rain at night shouldn't feel like driving blind.
On untreated glass, rain doesn’t run off. It clings and spreads into a wet film, and your wipers push it back and forth across the windscreen. At night, every oncoming headlight scatters through it, so you end up leaning forward and squinting with the wipers on full.
Faster wipers won’t fix it. The glass itself needs to push the water away.
- Rain that clings instead of running off
- Wipers on full and still not keeping up
- Headlight glare scattering through wet glass
- Bugs and road grime stuck to the windscreen
What Hydro Shield keeps off your glass
Rain, road grime and winter frost all cling to untreated glass. Hydro Shield gives them nothing to hold on to.
Wet-night glare
Rain beads away instead of scattering oncoming headlights.
Wiper smear
Less water clinging to the glass means less for your wipers to smear.
Water spots
Water rolls off before it can sit and dry on the glass.
Cleaners wipe. Hydro Shield repels.
Hydro Shield is a nano glass coating built on polysiloxane, a hydrophobic compound that bonds to the glass. Once it cures, water can’t spread out and cling. It pulls into tight beads that the airflow pushes off the windscreen at speed, often before your wipers need to move.
Brightening agents in the formula leave the glass crystal clear, with no haze or distortion, so you get sharper vision in the wet and glass that stays cleaner for longer.
Everything your wipers can't do alone
Extreme water beading
Rain beads up and rolls off from around 60 km/h, often before your wipers can.
Lasts for months
One application protects for up to 6 months, not days.
Less wiper use
Sharper wet-weather visibility with far less work from your wipers.
Repels grime
Bugs, road film, ice and frost wipe off easily.
Crystal-clear finish
Brightening agents leave zero haze or distortion on the glass.
Certified non-hazardous
Independently assessed (MSDS UTLR24060157). Not dangerous goods for transport.
Four steps. Then let it cure overnight.
1. Start with clean glass
Clean and dry the glass thoroughly. Use Decon Pro first for best results.
2. Apply
Spray onto an applicator and wipe on in overlapping strokes.
3. Wait & buff
Leave for 5 to 10 minutes, then buff with a clean microfibre cloth.
4. Let it cure
Allow 12 hours before washing. Then watch the rain bead away.
Application video
When rain beads and blows away, you'll know it's working.
Untreated glass lets water spread into a clinging film that your wipers have to push around. Coated glass pulls it into tight beads that roll off in the airflow. Try it with a spray bottle once it has cured, or just wait for the next downpour.
Step 1: Decon. Step 2: Shield.
A water repellent only bonds properly to truly clean glass. Start with Decon Pro to strip oil film and water spots, then apply Hydro Shield to lock in clear glass that sheds rain on its own.
- Decon Pro strips oil film, water spots and haze
- Hydro Shield bonds to the clean glass and beads rain away
- Clearer vision in the dark and the wet

Clearer glass, happier drivers
One application protects for up to 6 months. How long it lasts depends on the weather, how often you wash the car and how much you use your wipers. Reapply when water stops beading.
Glass cleaner removes dirt sitting on the glass. Hydro Shield adds a hydrophobic polysiloxane layer that makes water bead and roll off, and helps stop bugs and grime from sticking.
Not required, but recommended. A coating bonds best to truly clean glass. Decon Pro strips oil film and water spots so Hydro Shield can bond properly. Decon Pro is the prep step, Hydro Shield is the protection.
Allow 12 hours for the coating to cure before washing.
No. Buff it off after 5 to 10 minutes with a clean microfibre cloth. Brightening agents leave a crystal-clear finish with no haze or distortion.
Yes, on exterior glass: windscreen, side windows, rear glass and glass mirrors.
Use it on exterior glass only. Tint film sits on the inside of the window, and headlight lenses are usually plastic, so don’t use Hydro Shield on either.
It is not classified as hazardous (MSDS report UTLR24060157). As with any car care product, avoid eye contact, use it in a ventilated area and keep it out of reach of children.
