A coating that reacts with UV rays in sunlight to generate a photocatalytic process, that loosens and breaks down organic dirt particles on the surface of the glass. The surface of the coating is hydrophilic. Therefore, instead of forming droplets, it attracts water so that it spreads and forms a thin film that ‘sheets’ away quickly, and dries off without leaving unsightly ‘drying spots’. Self cleaning glass leaves less dirt and grime adhering to the glass resulting in the glass staying cleaner for longer, meaning less maintenance is needed.
Fucking hell, masking the glass off would have taken what, 5 minutes?
A new panel, I suspect. Manufacturer says clean it with soap and water or 1 part white vinegar to 10 water. When I told them what was on it they were like, 'yeah, that's bad'.
Came off easily with a sharp blade, so hopefully bullet dodged. Possibly saved by the fact that the glass was very dusty and mucky so not a whole lot for it to key in to.
yep.
