Title: Hyper hydrophobic.
Post by: Nick_Thompson on April 03, 2007, 09:12:11 pm

Has anyone come across glass that repels water to such an extent that there is hardly any water left after rinsing?

I cleaned some windows today that left just 12 tiny beads of water immediately after rinsing.

From 15ft away the window looked completely dry.

Just curious.

Yeah, and because you can't tell when it's rinsed properly you can almost guarantee spots. :(

I can't spell garantee, gaurantee, gaurauntee, garunti.... ???

These windows always come up spotless (I cant remember the last time I saw a spot anywhere on the round).

I must ask the customer if the window have been treated with anything.

they might have used that stuff that, theoretically, repels dirt on them?
(Not in practice, I've noticed.)
