Max Pane

• Hydrophobic technology keeps water beading away - see it sheet off water beads instantly after application
• Easy to apply, wet or dry; buff to a clear and strong rain repellent barrier
• Long-lasting protection to increase visibility, repel dirt and help subsequent cleaning

1. Check that glass is cool and clean before application (claying is a great way to ensure glass it totally decontaminated... if previous glass sealants have been used before, these may need removing with clay/polish/solvent to prevent potential smearing)
2. Spray Max Pane onto glass and/or onto a microfibre cloth and apply to glass surfaces
3. Buff immediately with a secondary cloth, ideally a waffle weave or microsuede glass cloth (Mint Merkin, Two Suede Blues)
4. Ideally, allow 24 hours before testing water repellency or getting the coating wet, so it can properly cure - this gives max performance and longevity, plus reduces the chance of streaks or runs - but it will work straightaway

Whilst Max Pane can be successfully applied to windscreens, we do not recommend application to the windscreen in normal circumstances due to the possibility of smearing or wiper judder, caused by interference with previously applied glass sealants, screenwash etc. Any smearing could cause a potential safety risk in rain or certain light conditions. If smearing is seen, remove the sealant using a strong solvent or by claying and polishing - seek help from a glass specialist/professional if required.

Does it work on plastic windows as well as glass?
Yes, it will bond to both clear plastic as well as glass, so can be suitable for motorbike/motorboat fairings etc.

Can I apply it over old sealants?
For best results you will need to completely decontaminate the surface first for proper bonding and to eliminate the chance of smearing. A quick clean with a glass cleaner may work, but often you will need to use clay, polish or strong solvents.

Is it safe on tinted or coated glass?
Yes, Max Pane is fine for tinted/coated glass; a water-based formula means no strong solvents.

How often should I reapply?
Typically every 3 to 4+ months, or when water refuses to sheet or bead.

I am seeing smearing, streaks or watermarks from this product, what is the likely cause?
You must buff the product fully after application to minimise high spots and keeping it from getting wet for 24 hours will reduce the chances of streaking or running. Smearing is down to inconsistent application and interference with existing sealants, coatings or contaminants on the glass that are patchy at a microscopic level. That is why deep cleaning the glass can be so critical and why applying to windscreens can be a gamble.

How do I remove misapplied Max Pane or old sealants?
Freshly applied product can often be removed with a strong solvent like Dodo Juice Stripp-Ex, but mature coatings or those that have been allowed to cure over days or weeks in high spots or watermarks can be difficult to remove. Use a glass cleaner liquid or spray, followed by clay bar and then some form of polish. In extreme cases, a professional may need to polish the glass with a fibre pad on a machine polisher with specialist glass cutting paste (not for amateur use).
