Full Description

By utilising specialty glass cleaners, HydroView empowers anyone to clean and ceramic coat their glass in just one step! Simply spray, wipe, and buff off for instant ceramic protection all over your glass. By utilizing Crystal Clear Clarity Technology, Chemical Guys HydroView cleans and protects with crystal clear results and no streaking in just seconds. Now, you can enjoy the benefits of ceramic without the headache or long, tedious, and complex application. With HydroView, applying a ceramic coating to your glass couldn’t be easier! If you know how to clean windows, then you know how to apply a ceramic coating!

Weather can change from one second to the next so having protection where you need it most is crucial! Rain, fog, mist, cloudiness, thunderstorms or rain storms can make it difficult to see through windows and windshields. HydroView creates a smooth and slick surface that helps water and contamination rapidly slide off of the glass surface and doesn’t block or obscure your vision. The cutting edge formula creates a durable ceramic shield that causes water to roll up into tight beads and rapidly accelerate off the surface leaving the perfect view! Chemical Guys HydroView not only helps shed water, dirt, grime, and mud to keep your glass cleaner longer, but makes cleaning your glass easier next time.

Chemical Guys HydroView was engineered from the ground up to bring the best of specialty glass cleaners and ceramic Si02 protection into one bottle to help reduce fogging, minimise water tension, and deliver ultimate clear vision for the safest driving possible. From windshields and auto glass to shower glass, office windows, home and much more, HydroView makes it extremely easy to clean and ceramic coat in just one step! Use it anywhere you need clear glass, or anywhere you want to keep glass cleaner for longer. Chemical Guys HydroView makes cleaning and protecting glass smart, simple, and easy!

Expert Notes

Chemical Guys HydroView is a 473ml, 2-in-1 glass cleaner and SiO2 ceramic coating that cleans and protects glass in the same spray, wipe and buff routine. Chemical Guys describes the finish as hydrophobic: water beads up and rolls off, and the coating helps reduce fogging and keeps glass cleaner for longer. It fits at the end of a wash or as a regular glass clean, on windscreens, side and rear windows and mirrors, and it also suits home and office glass. For exterior glass it is sprayed directly on, for interior glass onto the towel first. Pair it with two clean microfibre glass towels, and test it on aftermarket tint film before first use, as Chemical Guys recommends.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Car windscreens
  • Side and rear windows
  • Mirrors
  • Interior glass
  • Home windows
  • Shower glass
  • Office glass

Caution: Chemical Guys recommends testing on a small, hidden area before first use on aftermarket window tint film. Spray onto a towel for interior glass to keep overspray off trim.

How To Use

Application

  1. Shake the bottle well before use.
  2. Work on cool glass out of direct sunlight, one window at a time.
  3. For exterior glass, apply 1 to 3 sprays directly onto the glass.
  4. For interior glass, apply 1 to 3 sprays onto a clean microfibre towel instead.
  5. Wipe the glass to remove dirt and grime.
  6. Flip the towel to a clean side, or use a second microfibre towel, and buff off the remaining product.

Aftercare

  1. Check the glass from several angles in daylight and re-buff any smears.
  2. Wipe the wiper blades clean so they do not drag dirt across the windscreen.
  3. Use HydroView for routine glass cleaning, as each application cleans and protects in one step.
  4. Wash glass towels separately, without fabric softener, and let them air dry.
  5. Store the bottle sealed and upright, away from heat and frost.

Top Tip: Keep one towel for wiping and a second dry towel for the final buff to get the clearest finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Chemical Guys HydroView do?

It cleans glass and leaves SiO2 ceramic protection in the same step. Chemical Guys describes it as a hydrophobic glass cleaner and ceramic coating protectant in one.

How do I apply HydroView?

Shake well, then apply 1 to 3 sprays directly onto exterior glass, or onto a microfibre towel for interior glass. Wipe to remove dirt and grime, then buff off with a clean side of the towel or a second towel.

Can I use it on the inside of the windows?

Yes, Chemical Guys lists HydroView for both exterior and interior glass. For interior glass, spray it onto the towel rather than onto the glass.

Is HydroView safe on tinted windows?

Test it first: Chemical Guys recommends trying HydroView on a small, hidden area before first use on aftermarket tint film. Check the result before treating the whole window.

What size is the bottle?

The bottle holds 473ml, which Chemical Guys sells as its 16oz size.

How does it help in wet weather?

HydroView leaves a slick, hydrophobic surface that causes water to bead up and roll off the glass, according to Chemical Guys. It also helps reduce fogging and minimise water tension.

Can I use it on glass at home?

Yes, Chemical Guys lists home and office glass, including windows, mirrors and shower glass.

What should I use it with?

Use two clean microfibre glass towels, one to wipe and one to buff. Keep them for glass only and wash them without fabric softener.

HQ Suggests Tips & Insights

  1. Lower each side window slightly to clean the top edge of the glass.
  2. Wipe outside glass horizontally and inside glass vertically to trace any smears.
  3. Fold the towel into quarters so you always have a clean face.
  4. Clean the glass edges and corners before the open centre area.
  5. Include the wing mirrors and rear-view mirror in the same session.
  6. Replace worn wiper blades, as they smear any glass finish.
  7. Interior glass builds up a film, so clean the inside regularly.
