Gtechniq G1 ClearVision Smart Glass – Ultimate Rain Repellent (15ml Kit)
As used by the MINI WRC Team, Gtechniq G1 ClearVision Smart Glass is a professional-grade glass coating designed to provide unrivaled durability and clarity. Unlike standard rain repellents that sit on top of the glass, G1 uses a sophisticated chemical bond to become part of the surface. This ensures your windshield stays repellent for up to 2 years or 30,000 miles, making wet weather driving significantly safer and less fatiguing.
Why Choose G1 ClearVision?
-
Unrivalled Durability: The chemical bond offers superior longevity compared to traditional "physical bond" coatings.
-
Safety in the Rain: Water beads up and rolls off at speeds as low as 30mph, dramatically improving visibility in heavy downpours.
-
Wiper Blade Proof: Engineered with exceptionally low-smear characteristics, meaning it won’t judder or streak when using your wipers.
-
Easy Maintenance: Road grime, bugs, and ice are significantly easier to remove from treated glass.
-
Professional Grade: Trusted by world-class racing teams for performance in the most extreme conditions.

FAQ
What is the difference between G1 and G5? G1 is designed for maximum durability and low-smear performance on car windscreens where wipers are used. G5 offers higher water repellency (beading at lower speeds) but is less durable, making it better for side windows or surfaces without wiper blades.
Do I need a special cleaner before applying G1? Yes. For the chemical bond to form correctly, the glass must be polished with a product like Gtechniq G4 to remove all bonded contaminants and old coatings.
Will my wipers still work? Absolutely. G1 is specifically formulated to be "wiper proof." It reduces friction, which can actually help extend the life of your wiper blades.
