Description
VP-UK Ceramic Glass Cleaner is the ultimate finishing product for any detail, delivering crystal-clear clarity while enhancing safety and appearance. Specially developed to cut through grease, fingerprints, water spots, and drying marks, this advanced formula cleans and protects in one spray, leaving glass with a streak-free, hydrophobic finish.
VP-UK’s Ceramic Glass Cleaner also gives you added protection, delivering professional-level clarity and long-lasting hydrophobic protection in one simple spray.
This isn't your average streak-free cleaner. It’s a ceramic-infused formula that actively works to clean, shield, and enhance your vehicle’s glass with every wipe. Designed for both interior and exterior use, it cuts through traffic film, greasy fingerprints, fog, and light mineral deposits — all without smearing or leaving residue behind.
But the real difference? It leaves behind a water-repelling ceramic layer.
As you drive, this invisible barrier causes rain, spray, and condensation to bead up and slide off — improving visibility and reducing the need for constant wiper use.
Why This Matters:
- In wet weather, water won’t cling — it'll bead off.
- In sunlight, there’s no hazing or glare-causing residue.
- In the long term, your glass stays cleaner between washes.
- And in seconds, your windows go from dull to diamond-clear.
How It Works
Most glass cleaners remove grime. VP’s Ceramic Glass Cleaner goes further by using SiO2-based (ceramic) polymers that bond to the glass surface after cleaning. These leave behind a microscopic layer of protection, causing water to bead up and slide off more easily, much like a ceramic coating, but tailored for glass.
- Breaks down greasy residues, fog, fingerprints & dust.
- Flashes away instantly with no smearing.
- Leaves behind a slick, water-repelling finish.
- Reduces wiper chatter, water spots, grime build-up, fog build-up, and night glare.
The Science Behind Ceramic Glass Protection
What makes VP Ceramic Glass Cleaner more than just a cleaner? It’s all about the SiO₂-based chemistry — the same technology used in professional-grade ceramic coatings.
When applied to glass, the formula leaves behind silicon dioxide (SiO₂) nano-particles. These tiny particles bond to the surface on a molecular level, creating a thin, invisible layer that smooths out the microscopic pits and pores in the glass. This process is called surface tension modification.
Why Does Water Bead Off?
When the ceramic layer cures (which happens instantly during the wipe-down), it creates a hydrophobic (water-repelling) surface. That means water molecules can’t “grab” the surface — instead, they form tight beads and roll off with airflow or gravity.
This effect is scientifically known as the Lotus Effect — mimicking how water rolls off lotus leaves in nature. It’s the same self-cleaning principle used in high-end ceramic coatings for paintwork, now adapted for glass.
Advanced Chemistry for Ultra-Clean Results
Our fast-flashing, high-purity formula uses a balanced blend of mild distilled solvents and SiO₂ (ceramic) agents. Together, these components:
- Rapidly dissolve grease, grime, haze, and residue.
- Lift particulates and oils from the surface.
- Suspend contamination in the solution for safe, smear-free removal.
- Leave behind a slick ceramic layer for water-beading protection.
- Penetrate micro-ruts and break down contamination.
- Leave zero residue or smears as the formula flashes off.
This means you get a cleaner surface, improved visibility, and longer-lasting clarity, without the use of aggressive chemicals or residue.
Safe for All Glass Types & Finishes
VP Ceramic Glass Cleaner is tough on grime but gentle on surfaces. It's:
- Safe for interior and exterior glass - Windscreens, side windows, rear windows, wing mirrors, interior glass, navigation screens, headlights, sunroofs, glass roofs, tinted windows, and glass films.
- Compatible with all tinted films and privacy glass.
- Suitable for Perspex, Lexan, polycarbonate, and motorsport windows.
- Non-abrasive and safe on glass sealants or ceramic coatings.
Use it confidently on every panel — inside and out.
Directions For Use:
- Work in the shade, on cool glass. - Direct sunlight or hot panels can cause the product to flash too fast, increasing the risk of streaks.
- Start with the exterior of the glass.
- Spray 1–2 light mists per panel of VP Ceramic Glass Cleaner.
- Wipe using a clean microfiber towel in left-to-right motions
- Flip to a dry side and buff to a clear, smear-free finish
Why it matters: Wiping side-to-side on the outside lets you visually separate it from the inside clean later.
3. Move to the inside of the glass.
- Use a fresh towel or a different side (never re-use the same one from outside)
- Spray cleaner onto the towel, not the glass (to avoid overspray)
- Wipe in up-and-down motions and then buff clean
Pro tip: Using opposite motion patterns (horizontal outside, vertical inside) makes it easy to tell which side has any missed smears or dirt.
If you see streaks… it's probably not the cleaner.
Most streaks are caused by:
- Using a dirty or damp towel
- reusing the same side of the cloth
- over-saturating the glass
- Not buffing after the first pass
Always use short-pile microfiber or a dedicated glass towel for best results. Dirty towels just push grease around, leaving more haze than they remove.
Bonus Tips for Smear-Free Glass:
- Always clean glass last — after shampooing, polishing, and waxing.
- Keep a separate towel just for glass.
- Use a waffle weave towel to trap lint and particles.
- For the interior windscreen, sit in the passenger seat for better reach.
- Replace your towels regularly — glass shows everything.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
The best car glass cleaner is one that leaves a streak-free finish, cuts through grime quickly, and is safe for all glass types, including tinted windows. VP Ceramic Glass Cleaner stands out because it not only cleans but also leaves a ceramic hydrophobic layer, helping to repel rain, reduce fog, and keep your windows cleaner for longer.
-
For streak-free results, always use a clean microfiber towel, avoid over-spraying product, and work in the shade. Spray a small amount of VP Ceramic Glass Cleaner onto the surface or towel, wipe in straight lines, then flip the towel and buff. The fast-flashing formula ensures no smearing or hazing, even on interior glass.
-
Yes — as long as it’s non-ammonia based. VP Ceramic Glass Cleaner is completely safe for tinted film, privacy glass, and aftermarket window tints. Its mild, pH-balanced formula cleans without degrading the film or causing streaks.
-
Absolutely. VP’s ceramic-infused formula uses SiO₂ (silicon dioxide) technology to bond a hydrophobic layer to your glass. This means water beads up and runs off during rain, helping to improve visibility and reduce grime build-up. It’s like a light ceramic coating for your glass, in a spray bottle.
-
Clean your windows every 1–2 weeks for general maintenance. During bad weather, more frequently may be needed to remove road film and fog. You can use VP Ceramic Glass Cleaner as both a quick wipe-down and a last-step finishing spray after detailing.
-
Interior haze is usually caused by off-gassing from plastics, oils from skin, and residue from cheap cleaners. Exterior haze often comes from traffic film, wiper drag, and brake dust buildup. VP Ceramic Glass Cleaner is designed to break down and lift oily residues, leaving a perfectly clear, non-reflective finish.
-
VP Ceramic Glass Cleaner can be used lightly on most infotainment screens, mirrors, and gloss interior surfaces, but always spray the towel — never the screen — and wipe gently. It’s safe for acrylic, Perspex, and polycarbonate surfaces too.
-
No, in fact, VP’s Ceramic Glass Cleaner works alongside coatings by refreshing hydrophobic performance. It won’t strip sealants or coatings, and can be used as a maintenance spray to top up protection between applications.
-
Yes. Use a clean towel, minimal product, and wipe in side-to-side motions. VP’s fast-evaporating formula is ideal for interior glass — it removes fog, smears, and smoke film without leaving a trace.
-
Definitely. The ceramic layer creates a water-repelling (hydrophobic) surface, which helps rain bead up and roll off while driving. It also helps reduce fog build-up and keeps glass clearer for longer — improving visibility and safety in bad weather.
