Vehicle Nano Glass Protection Care Guide
Automotive glass is typically exposed to road film, dust, and contaminants from the environment. While the same core cleaning principles apply to cleaning all NanoGlass Protection™ treated glass surfaces, the smaller surface area allows for more control using a microfiber-based approach.

NanoGlass Protection™ vehicle glass cleaning guide — simple microfiber method to keep coated glass clean, clear, and performing properly.
Step by Step Care Instructions
🔵What You Will Need
Clean microfiber cloth
GlassLab™ Drying Towel (or similar high-quality drying towel)
Clean water (bottle or small container for pouring)
⚠️Why We Don’t Use a Bucket of Water
In the video, you’ll see water being applied directly to the glass or cloth, rather than using a bucket.
This is because once a cloth has picked up contamination, placing it into a bucket will transfer that contamination into the water — and then back onto the glass.
By applying fresh water directly, you’re always working with clean water on the surface.
⚠️ Inspect Your Cloths Before Use
While microfiber cloths and drying towels are safe for glass, they can trap debris that may cause scratches.
Before use:
Check for any trapped particles (e.g. grit, small stones)
If the cloth has been dropped on the ground, inspect it carefully
👉 If in doubt, set it aside and use a clean cloth.
🔵 Prepare Your Microfibre Cloth
Fold your microfiber cloth in half, then fold it in half again.
This creates multiple clean sections of cloth that you can rotate between as you work.
👉 As one section becomes dirty, simply refold the cloth to expose a clean side.
WHY THIS WORKS : This helps prevent spreading contamination back onto the glass and keeps your cleaning consistent.
🔵 Fully Wet the Cloth and Begin Cleaning
Thoroughly wet your microfiber cloth using clean water.
👉 The cloth should be fully saturated and dripping, not just damp.
Begin wiping the glass using:
Left to right, then right to left passes
Work your way down the glass in sections
Keep your passes straight and overlapping
After each full pass:
Check the cloth for contamination
If dirt or residue is visible, refold to a clean section before continuing
IMPORTANT : A fully wet cloth helps lift contamination into solution, rather than dragging it across the surface.
This process should be carried out when the glass is cool and out of direct sunlight. If the glass is hot, water can evaporate too quickly, which may leave behind or “bake on” any remaining dirt or road film.
🔵Final Clean and Dry
Repeat Step 2 until you no longer see any contamination appearing on the microfiber cloth.
IMPORTANT : At this stage, the glass should only have clean water on it. The drying towel then removes that water and lightly buffs the surface, bringing out the full clarity and finish.
Once the cloth is no longer picking up dirt:
Refold to a clean, unused section of the microfiber
Fully wet it again with clean water
Wipe the glass one final time to ensure only clean water remains on the surface.
Then:
Use your GlassLab™ Drying Towel to remove the water from the glass
Wipe in smooth, controlled passes to achieve a clear, streak-free finish
Cleaning Frequency
Because driving conditions vary, regular cleaning’ isn’t based on a calendar — its based on visual cue’s. The Visual Trigger: Look at the areas of the front windshield that your wipers don’t reach (see photo). When you see a visible build up of dust/road film there, it’s time for a wipe-down of the glass and also the wiper blades. If this build up of dust/road film is not removed it can act as an abrasive slurry that can wear the coating faster.
Step 3 Secure Your Coating Warranty
Please note the specific coverage terms for your automotive applications
