Full Description

Chemical Guys - Hydro View Ceramic Glass Cleaner & Coating

Chemical Guys HydroView is a two in one product. It is a glass cleaner but also it adds ceramic protection at the same time, delivering the highest level of optical clarity whilst leaving behind a smooth, super hydrophobic surface which repels water and dirt with ease, making driving safer and future cleaning easier.

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.

  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?

How do I apply HydroView?

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.

What size is the bottle?

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

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.

The Brand

Chemical Guys

Chemical Guys is a car care brand with its mailing address in Torrance, California, and it describes itself as more than a brand: "a lifestyle with a worldwide following". Its story says the company began by wiping the slate clean and starting fresh, and over the years grew into a huge library of detailing knowledge as well as a product range. That range runs from waxes to hybrid coatings, nano-polishes and ceramic sealants, alongside buffing pads, wash and interior care, air fresheners and odour eliminators.

The Drivers HQ stocks a Chemical Guys range led by machine polishing pads. There are Hex-Logic and Hex-Logic Quantum pads in medium cut, heavy cut and finishing grades, in 4 inch, 5.5 inch and 6.5 inch sizes, from the orange Hex-Logic Quantum Cutting Pad to the black Quantum Finishing Pad. Alongside the pads we carry the Honeydew Premium Air Freshener.

Chemical Guys suits anyone moving from hand polishing to machine polishing, as well as detailers who already use a machine and want pads matched to each stage. The brand designs its Quantum pads for dual action and high-speed rotary polishers, attached by hook and loop. A typical correction runs from a cutting pad with a compound, through a polishing pad with a finer polish, to a finishing pad for a glaze, wax or sealant.

Buy Chemical Guys from The Drivers HQ with UK-wide delivery by tracked Royal Mail, or call in at our walk-in store in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, where Click & Collect is free. Whether you are replacing a worn polishing pad or building a set of pads for a full correction, you can combine Chemical Guys products with the rest of your detailing and car care essentials in a single order.

Driven by a Passion for Shine

Chemical Guys puts a passion for shine at the heart of its story. The brand says it is "Driven by adventure, a passion for shine, and a love for the road ahead", and it welcomes anyone who shares that passion to become part of its family. Its story describes the team as passion-filled car enthusiasts who work every day to make the things they love shine their brightest.

Teaching is a large part of that approach. Chemical Guys says it believes "everyone should be able to achieve a show car shine", and alongside professional level products it provides a vast library of detailing how to guides and courses. The brand calls itself a culture of thinkers and makers, and says detailing is a lifestyle it lives day in, day out, not just something it does.

In its own words, Chemical Guys never stops testing and improving, because it believes good is never good enough. It also says detailing should be fun, and that not a day goes by without its team smiling, laughing and enjoying the work. Whether you are washing your car or shopping for a new sealant, the brand wants you to have a smile on your face while you do it.

CHEMICAL GUYS 4″ HEX-LOGIC PAD LIGHT POLISHING PAD WHITE PAD- (4″INCH) - The Drivers HQ

Hex-Logic Pads and Odour Control

Chemical Guys says its Hex-Logic pads use "laser-cut hexagons to evenly spread product across flat or angled surfaces", with honeycomb-like grooves that hold product in the pad for smoother application and reduce friction during use. On the Quantum pads, a Precision Port vent hole in the centre disperses more heat, which the brand says means less wear and tear on both pad and machine. The Drivers HQ stocks both Hex-Logic and Hex-Logic Quantum pads across cutting, polishing and finishing grades.

Each colour is matched to a job. The brand describes the orange Quantum pad as a medium cutting pad that removes light to moderate defects such as swirls, scratches, oxidation and water spots, and the black Quantum Finishing Pad as a no-cut pad for spreading final sealants and wax coatings evenly on freshly polished paint. Our range includes 4 inch, 5.5 inch and 6.5 inch pads to suit different machines and backing plates.

For the interior, Chemical Guys says the formula in its odour eliminating sprays uses active enzymes that neutralise the germs and bacteria causing odours, then leaves behind only the fresh scent of the product. Our wider selection of odour and smoke eliminators and hanging air fresheners can help you tackle stubborn smells such as smoke and keep the cabin smelling fresh.
