Application Instructions Diamond Glass Step 1 & 2
Tools Required:
· Diamond Glass Solution in a spray bottle
· Commercial “Streak/Residue-Free” Glass Cleaner or Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA)
· 1 Squeegee
· 4 Clean Microfiber Cloths
Application Temperature:
· The windscreen temperature is important for correct application. The application is best performed in a climate controlled (dry), covered area ranging from 50° to 90°F / 10° to 32°C
· On a hot day run the defroster in Air Conditioning mode for 10 minutes prior to application to cool the surface, or mist water onto the windshield and allow it to evaporate. On a cold day run the defroster in Heat Mode for 10 minutes prior to application to warm the surface.
Procedure:
Step 1. Diamond Glass Hydrophobic:
1. Thoroughly clean new OR existing windscreen with a clean streak-free Commercial Class cleaner.
2. Make sure surface is clean and dry.
3. Shake bottle.
4. Apply small quantities of solution, apply liquid onto a clean dry cloth and wipe sparingly covering the entire surface with even coverage.
5. Leave for 2 minutes and polish dry, If smears appear wipe with a damp cloth.
6. Wait 1 hour prior to stage 2.
Step 2. Diamond Glass Strengthening:
1. Before you begin, inspect the windshield for any existing damage and document accordingly. If a fleet application, record the Year, Make, Model & VIN and including a picture is advised.
2. Prepare and clean the windscreen before application. Follow standard glass cleaning methods using commercial streak/residue-free glass cleaners or Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA).
3. Lift the wiper blades off the windscreen surface.
4. Spray half the windscreen surface with your cleaning solution, use a microfiber towel to remove the dirt and dry the windshield surface. Repeat on the other half of the windscreen.
5. Remove any remaining cleaning solution from the windscreen edges with the microfiber cloth.
6. Shake the Diamond Glass bottle well to mix the solution.
7. Uniformly spray half the windscreen surface with about one ounce of the Diamond Glass solution starting at the top to the bottom and from the centre to the edge.
8. After waiting 15 to 30 seconds, use a dry squeegee to remove the solution from the glass surface starting at the top centre and pulling towards you to the edge. Wipe the squeegee dry after each pull while overlapping the next pull slightly over the previous. Repeat until you reach the bottom. Remove any residual solution from the windscreen edges or any overspray with a microfiber cloth. Overspray will not harm or adhere to paint or other materials.
9. Repeat on the other half of the windscreen.
10. Inspect the windscreen for any cloudy haze that may occur. This is a result of incomplete removal of the solution or accelerated drying resulting from application on a hot windscreen.
11. In the event of haze, remove by wiping the area with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. If the haze is not removed, dampen the microfiber cloth with water and wipe the affected area then wipe with another dry microfiber cloth.
12. After installation, in the event it is raining or cold outside the facility, run the defroster in heat mode for 10 minutes prior to moving the vehicle outdoors to accelerate curing. It is best not to allow the windscreen to get wet for up to 24 hours following application.
13. Record date of application and apply windscreen sticker. If a fleet application, record Year, Make, Model, VIN and date of application.
14. Reapply Diamond Glass once per year to maintain protection due to normal vehicle use.
Diamond Glass is a glass treatment designed to significantly increase the strength, durability, and structural integrity of glass while also including a water-repellent to improve driver visibility and reaction time during wet weather conditions.
Diamond Glass is specifically intended to increase glass strength on automotive and truck windscreen.
Diamond Glass helps your windscreen resist chipping and cracking due to impact from road debris, in addition to damage caused by vibration and flexing of the vehicle body against the mounted edges of the windshield.
Diamond Glass is a ‘smart solution’ engineered to identify the microscopic flaws and defects that are found throughout every glass surface, which weaken the glass structure and initiate failure.
Diamond Glass's proprietary technology then penetrates the glass and covalently bonds with and repairs the microscopic surface imperfections, dramatically increasing the strength of the glass.
Diamond Glass has been shown to increase glass strength up to 80% when compared to untreated glass, reducing the incidence of windscreen chipping and cracking from 40% to 82%, and reducing repair and replacements costs up to 83%.
This is an indication that either too much Diamond Glass solution was applied or not squeegeed off the windscreen before it was allowed to dry.
Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to remove any remaining residue otherwise, if needed simply moisten the clean microfiber cloth first without soaking the cloth and wipe off any remaining haze, streaking or residue.
The glass surface can then be buffed by hand with a clean, dry microfiber cloth, this will not diminish the performance of Diamond Glass that has already bonded with the micro-fractures in the glass.
If the vehicle has been sitting outside on a hot day and the windscreen is too hot (above 32°C), run the vehicle’s defroster with the A/C turned on for 10 – 15 minutes, to cool off the windscreen before applying Diamond Glass.
If the windscreen is below (10°C), run the defroster on heat for 10 – 15 minutes to warm the windscreen before applying Diamond Glass.
You can drive the vehicle immediately after application is completed although, it is recommended not to drive in excessive rain conditions for 24 hours.
If that is unavoidable, we recommend running the defroster on heat for 15 – 20 minutes following application to accelerate the curing process and obtain the most benefit from Diamond Glass prior to driving.
Diamond Glass only reacts with glass, it will not stain or damage paint, rubber, plastic, chrome, or other vehicle surfaces. Simply wipe it off with a clean, dry rag, if it becomes stubborn to remove, moisten a clean rag and wipe it off, if needed, buff surface with a clean, dry microfiber cloth.
Technology utilised by Diamond Glass was developed in cooperation with Rice University’s Chemical & Mechanical Engineering Departments, the product has been tested and validated by independent, third-party glass industry laboratories.
Testing was executed in accordance with government, law enforcement and industry standards including:
While Diamond Glass contains a water-repellent component, its primary purpose is to strengthen windscreens and other automotive glass, reducing costs associated with chipping, cracking and replacement.
There is no substantive data that suggests a water-repellent product can provide the same kind of glass protection.
That said, you can still safely add Diamond Glass on top of your existing water-repellent product provided the previously applied product is completely dry beforehand.
If you apply Diamond Glass first, we recommend waiting 24 hours or more before applying a hydrophobic (water-repellent) product on top of it.
Diamond Glass becomes a permanent part of the glass once it has cured, or when applied after water-repellent product has dried, making it a “stackable” product.
During normal driving, a windscreen will continue to be impacted by road debris such as sand, dirt, stones, etc, all of which will continue to generate new micro-imperfections in the glass surface.
The body of the vehicle will also continue to vibrate and flex against the edges of the mounted glass, further aggravating and growing those imperfections.
Periodic re-application with Diamond Glass will help treat those new imperfections before they can reduce the overall strength of the glass leading to chips and cracks.
For vehicles being driven up to 50,000 miles per year we recommend re-application once per year to maintain adequate protection.
Diamond Glass is designed and engineered to ensure, it does not present any known health risk.
Given that Diamond Glass is a water-based technology it must be stored above freezing, preferably above 50°F (10°C) but less than 120°F (49°C) if possible. It cannot be allowed to freeze. Appropriate storage will protect the product for well over a year.
