When we saw this product advertised at SEMA 2023, we were instantly drawn to the concept and excited for it to arrive on the shores of New Zealand to see if this new product would become an integral part of our wash process.
CarPro advertises this product as something you can use to maintain your glass with the same cleaning power and streak-free finish as the original Clarify formula while adding slickness and repellency in one easy step to instantly increase driver visibility in bad weather and reduce wiper chatter.
Clarify PHOBIC can be used on previously coated glass to top up its performance and also on non-coated glass during regular maintenance to keep driver visibility at its best.
While we were impressed with the slickness of the product and also the results in heavy rain, the application process (namely the streakiness) left a lot to be desired. We're hoping CarPro come out with a "V2" formula like many of their other products to rectify this issue we faced.

How unfortunate. I would be so annoyed, especially after detailing the entire car. I hope you can get your money back on that one due to the safety concerns from reduced visibility.

@OmniGarage 2 месяца назад

Luckily it wears off after a few weeks.

@MikeGDetailing Месяц назад

It will streak with more product. I would recommend trying one spray to mist it over the entire surface and see if it works. It’s also not great as a stand alone protectant.

@OmniGarage Месяц назад

In video we said we tried using less product. No difference.

@MikeGDetailing Месяц назад

@@OmniGarage I heard cutting down to 3 sprays unless I missed it being stated it was brought back to 1 spray. It’s a really finicky product. It also does not play well with certain glass sealants and coatings.

@OmniGarage Месяц назад

@MikeGDetailing no sealants, no coatings on any of the glass, it was a bare surface. Tried on multiple cars (two are in the video) another car tried off camera. Varying techniques, various amounts of product.

You asked if anyone else has experienced streaking. Yes, that’s how I found your video. I’ve been struggling with Clarify Phobic and streaking on two different cars over the couple of weeks. It’s making me crazy. I even used Carpro Eraser to remove any existing residue on the windshield before applying Clarify. It still streaked - exactly in the way you described. Funny enough, the Eraser did a fantastic job on the glass and I’m going back out to clean off the Clarify with more Eraser!

Thank you for your feedback. Pleased that it’s not just us struggling with this product. Lots of people are having very different experiences. Some say just “wipe” off the excess, some say that doesn’t work. Interesting.

@WashandShineGarage Месяц назад

@@OmniGarage I’m jealous of those that have a good experience with it as Carpro makes great products and I really want to like it. Wiping it off just seems to move the smears around for me.

@OmniGarage Месяц назад

Very consistent with what we’ve found. We will keep looking for the next product!

@OmniGarage Месяц назад

@maz012967 absolutely, we use a lot of their stuff and for many years. As we said in the vid the concept is fantastic and i can see this type of product doing well. But the product has to work for everyone, with a range of techniques/experiences.

Hi. I'm using Gyeon glass+, which is product with same features. Yes is smearing, but- probably after first or second time. Weekly or 2 weeks maintenance and almost nothing left on the glass. Btw I always use microfiber cloth to wipe off any leftovers and final efect is briliant. I'm planning try carpro products but need more investigate what I need. Tom

@OmniGarage 8 дней назад

We'll give that product a go next!

@carpro_official 2 месяца назад

Seems you sprayed too much over the glass and worked under direct sunlight which accelerate the alcohol to flash faster , just wipe off the residues smearing after 1min or so and it will come off.

@OmniGarage 2 месяца назад

Thanks for chiming in! We tried numerous methods, both inside away from the sun and outside, and applied various amounts (down to 4 sprays for a full windshield) and experienced similar product behaviour. Is there any possibility our issue was due to a “bad” batch of product?

@npyss3128 Месяц назад

I used this product and not very efective. The best product i used is Soft 99 Glaco series , much better then rain x & turtle wax clear vue. Now i use after washing the car , Gyeon Bathe plus.....put in foam canon , spray on the whole car and rinse it off & dry. Also no streaks on windows and they feel super soft

@OmniGarage Месяц назад

I’m really keen to try the Glaco glass coating, the story behind it sound interesting. Any windscreen shudder with wiper blades?

@TheBallisticSerb 10 дней назад

@OmniGarage ive been using it for a long time here in Aus and I don't get any judder. Hitting 9 months and it's still great

@OmniGarage 10 дней назад

@TheBallisticSerb is it smeary on application?

@kuba7875 Месяц назад

Wipe off with a dump towel , it will resolve streaking issues

@OmniGarage Месяц назад

It clearly didn’t work for us.

@kuba7875 Месяц назад

@@OmniGarage strange, it worked for me

@a.harwood_nz 2 месяца назад

I wonder if it needs a couple of drops of water on the final wipe to remove the smearing. If I remember correctly, Rain-x instructions tell you to do that to remove the haze.

@OmniGarage 2 месяца назад

Tried this and had no luck, unfortunately.

@andresayej 2 месяца назад

I’m currently using Gyeon Q2M GLASS+ and it has great hydrophobic properties with no streaking issues if applied correctly using their 2 towel method. Maybe give it a go?

@OmniGarage 2 месяца назад

Fantastic! We will pick up a bottle and give it a go. Cheers for the suggestion.

@@OmniGaragesave your money gyeon version is no better !! Load of rubbish & not very user friendly either especially in colder climates. Smeary overpriced overrated mess both gyeon & carpro .

@thollenbeck 22 дня назад

You’re using too much product. If the glass was previously coated, all you need is one spray. If not, two sprays are more than enough to cover an entire windshield. A little goes a long way. In the summer I dilute with distilled water 1:1.

@OmniGarage 22 дня назад

Tried that method. Same results even with a single spray.

@thollenbeck 22 дня назад

Try diluted. I've found most CarPro products are very concentrated.

@OmniGarage 22 дня назад

Shouldn’t have to dilute a product if it doesn’t mention it.

@davida7713 2 месяца назад

It’s garbage . I’ve used it & sold it on. Gyeon glass + is not much better tbh . Both smeary mess

@OmniGarage 2 месяца назад

Thank you for the comment and pleased someone else had similar results. Was starting to think it was us. I find glass products/ glass cleaning /glass hydrophobics a very finicky area of detailing. Often left with a smeary mess, lint on the glass, smudges, poor behaviour with window wipers etc.

Gyeon Q2M glass cleaner so far is our go to. Have tried Carpro, invisible glass, Gtechniq, Meguiars, P&S, angle wax, Koch Chemie so rather a lot.
