Soft99 Glaco De Cleaner is one of the stalwarts of car glass care and has long been one of the most practical products in the Soft99 range. It is not just a regular glass cleaner, but a sophisticated 3-in-1 product that cleans glass, restores the hydrophobic effect, and prolongs the effect of applied Glaco coatings in one step. In 2025, Glaco De Cleaner will be launched in a modernized form that responds to the needs of the European market.
Glaco De Cleaner – glass cleaner with hydrophobic effect
The Glaco family is well known to anyone interested in high-quality car window protection. And just like other brands, it has a firm place in the market for universal glass cleaners. This role is filled by Glaco De Cleaner, which has been available on the Japanese market for more than 25 years. It is now appearing in Europe in a new form with a modified design and larger volume. Glaco De Cleaner is referred to as a 3-in-1 product, and for good reason. In a single step, it removes common dirt from the glass and at the same time restores the hydrophobic properties of previously applied Glaco coatings. It therefore functions not only as a cleaner, but also as a so-called booster, which restores the glass's full water-repellent effect and extends the life of the protection. It can also be used on its own, without prior application of a Glaco coating. In this case, it creates a protective layer on the glass that repels water at speeds of approximately 60 km/h or higher. The result is better visibility in the rain, less need to use windshield wipers, and greater comfort and safety while driving.
What's new in the 2025 edition
The most noticeable change is the new packaging. Glaco De Cleaner now comes in a white bottle, matching the design of other Soft99 products. However, the most significant change is the volume – now 500 ml, which is 100 ml more than before. The package includes a high-quality sprayer that ensures even application and minimizes dripping. This makes the work cleaner, more precise, and reduces the risk of unwanted contact with paint or clothing. The new label design emphasizes clarity and clear communication of the product's functions. It retains the visual identity of the Glaco series but brings a simpler and more readable look, designed with European customers in mind.
Japanese roots with 20 years of experience in the market
The label retains elements referring to the Japanese origin of the product, including the 日本型 symbol, meaning "Japanese style." This reflects the philosophy of the Soft99 brand, which is based on precision, functionality, and a technical approach to detail. These values are the reason why Glaco De Cleaner has remained popular for more than two decades. The history of Glaco De Cleaner dates back to 2001, when it was introduced in Japan as one of the first glass cleaners combining washing and hydrophobic technology. Its goal was to simplify routine car maintenance – to quickly remove dirt, restore the water-repellent effect, and offer a separate solution for side windows, for example. In Japan, it has become a common part of everyday car care and is available at gas stations, service stations, and specialized automotive stores. It arrived in Europe a little later, about ten years ago, where it quickly gained popularity among detailers and everyday users. Long-term sales and feedback confirm that it is a truly functional and practical product.
Summary
The new Glaco De Cleaner in a 500 ml bottle is a sophisticated product for everyday car window care. It cleans, restores the hydrophobic effect, and protects. Thanks to its larger packaging, high-quality sprayer, and clear design, it is a universal solution not only for detailing enthusiasts, but for anyone who wants clean and functionally protected windows.
