Review: Pinnacle’s new glass trio

Pinnacle Crystal Clear Glass Cleaner with Water Repellent

Pinnacle GlassWork Water Spot Remover

Pinnacle GlassCoat Window Sealant with Rain Repellent

First off I hate cleaning glass, one my least favorite parts to detailing, that is until now. I have used various OTC glass products for general cleaning and all left the glass streaked or a haze would generate couple of hours later.

We will use my passenger rear window on my 2010 TSX as the point of reference; the glass is dirty and has waterspots.

First I used the Crystal Clear Glass Cleaner, it has a really pleasant smell and wasn’t as runny as I expected it to be and I even over sprayed it to show it. Honestly you only need 1 to 2 sprays of this.

Next the glass is clean but still it has marks on it, this is when I went for the GlassWork Water Spot Remover.

Applied with a MF pad and removed with MF towel and Glass cleaner.

And the final product!!! For sealing the glass I stole some of my wifes makeup pads, the kind that came with the Gtechniq G1. It makes applying the Glasscoat Window Sealant a lot easier and less product waste.

Final Thoughts, It works. The glass cleaner alone does not streak and can be used inside and out. The Waterspot remover actually works, the glass waterspot remover market is saturated with mediocre products and it’s great to finally see something that works. The sealant is the icing on the cake, I want to see how this holds up on chilly mornings with frost in WV.

Enjoy and feel free to ask questions :rockon

Well its March 26th, and I just wanted to take some time to give my thoughts on durability.

Its still snowing and non stop raining in WV for the last week, when I was taking the trash out I noticed both of our cars still had strong beading on the glass.

On my wife CRV I used the Pinnacle Glass sealant in December (I think), after 3 solid month the Pinnacle has held up strong. I asked her when she drives how well does it shed water, and she said its the same. So this product is defiantly a winner

Now I must add that every month when I clean the windows I do use the Pinnacle Glass Cleaner, but I dont think that would renew the sealant for this long.

Great update, Dhaval. I too have had my windshield still beading and repelling water for well over 3 months. This trio is no joke.

Very well done Dhaval!

Like you, I`ve tried Pinnacles glass lineup and found them to work exactly as advertised. My only issue was the glass cleaner would constantly clog the spray nozzle and it had to be replaced twice....

Nice review, how do you think it would work on etched glass?

Nice review, how do you think it would work on etched glass?

I tried it on glass that had been etched with water spots for years. By hand it cleaned up fairly well, but I did have to bring out the DA with the tangerine pad.
That took care of 90% of issue.
