Stjarnagloss Glatt Rinse Aid

The Stjarnagloss Glatt Protective Car Wash Rinse Aid is one of the quickest and easiest ways to add gloss, water repellency and short-term protection to your vehicle during the wash process. Designed to be applied to a freshly washed wet vehicle, Glatt instantly bonds to the surface and creates a hydrophobic layer that encourages water to sheet and bead away from the paintwork.

Perfect for enthusiasts and professional detailers alike, Glatt helps minimise water spotting, improves drying performance and leaves behind a slick, glossy finish. The fast-acting formula works on paintwork, side windows, trim and wheels, helping to make future cleaning easier while enhancing your vehicle's appearance.

Simply apply, rinse and dry. It really is that easy.

Why Use A Rinse Aid?

Traditional drying can leave water sitting on the surface, increasing the chance of water spots and making drying more time-consuming. Glatt creates an instant water-repellent layer that encourages water to evacuate the surface more efficiently, reducing drying time and improving the final finish.

By helping water leave the panel quickly, Glatt also reduces the amount of standing water that can dry into mineral deposits and water spotting.

• Always rinse immediately after application.
• Use a pressure washer to fully activate the hydrophobic layer.
• Dry the vehicle after use to maximise gloss and eliminate residual water.

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Glatt be used on ceramic coated vehicles?

Yes. Glatt works exceptionally well on ceramic coated vehicles and can help maintain hydrophobic performance between maintenance washes.

Can I use Glatt on glass?

Yes, it can be used on side windows and exterior glass. Stjarnagloss advises avoiding the windscreen due to the possibility of interaction with existing glass coatings or treatments.

How long should Glatt be left on the surface?

It should be rinsed immediately after application. Spray onto a panel and rinse straight away for best results.

How long does the protection last?

Hydrophobic performance can last several weeks depending on weather conditions, wash frequency and vehicle usage.

 

 

HQ Suggests (Tips & Insights)

• 💡 Perfect for maintaining ceramic coated vehicles between dedicated coating maintenance products.
• 💡 Use panel-by-panel rather than applying to the whole vehicle at once.
• 💡 Excellent for reducing drying times during maintenance washes.
• 💡 Works particularly well during winter when water spotting and contamination are more common.
• 💡 Keep a dedicated drying towel for rinse aids as hydrophobic products can affect towel absorbency over time.
