Today I tried G4 and G1 although not on the Evoque to start with, might as well practice on the shopping trolley first! decided to do the side and rear windows only to start with, that only need 1 coat.
First a wash down, then polish with G4, This is a nice consistency, thinner than windowlene for those that may remember it, polishes easily and dries white especially on surrounding rubbers, but the ace up its sleve is the fact a damp cloth just wipes it away and a quick buff brings the glass glistening.
Once all windows clean onto the G1, a small dab onthe pad and it quickly spreads across the glass working quite quickly to coat a window, you can see where is done quite easily until a fine layer over all the glass.
As per instructions this is then left 10 minutes, as quite cold today.
The next stage is G2 that comes with G1, this was where I was nervous as this is the bit that could leave smearing, but it was very easy, with a cotton cloth to buff used a pad to coat smaller areas with G2 and immediately buff, glass was pretty clear instantly and a slight second wipe with the G2 damp pad removed any remaining residue with a final buff to bring the glass gleaming.
very easy to use, but it does stress its important to follow instructions to the letter.
Lets see how it performs... then may try the windscreen, I have not had great experiences with windscreens when treated so holding back, but if all goes well next up on to the Evoque.
More to come...
