Once a virgin glass surface has been applied to glass, it is important to seal it with a high performance protective treatment that will fill in the minuscule cracks and valleys of glass and create a polymeric barrier to protect it. One such product is The Glass Defender Series consisting of an MD, HD and a Primer depending on the level of protection desired. In most cases, Glass Defender MD is used standalone by simply applying it to glass, and polishing with a micro fiber towel. Presto’s protective treatments utilize high performance silicone materials that cure to a strong polymeric film invisible to the naked eye. As well, these materials are partially inorganic similar to glass itself and will be as permanent as the glass surface. The process for removing architectural glass scratches is based on the types of scratching present.
