Moisture-proof coating - liquid glass

I will show you how to make a simple and cheap water-repellent or moisture-proof coating - liquid glass. It has long been used by car enthusiasts, covering headlights, windows and the entire body of their car with it. This coating is especially relevant in the spring-autumn season, when there is plenty of dirt on the roads.
After applying such a coating, liquid dirt does not stick to the surface and does not linger on it for a very long time.

Will need


  • Paraffin candle.
  • White Spirit.

You will also need a container for mixing and a grater for chopping the candle.

Preparation of liquid glass


Take a candle and grind it. For this I use a regular kitchen grater. I just grate the candle.

I place the resulting shavings in a mixing container.

Fill with white spirit. There are no exact proportions; everything is done experimentally. You should not make the composition too thick, about two to three parts of white spirit and one part of paraffin.

Checking the composition


Water the headlight glass with water. The glass becomes wet and water is retained. Therefore, the same will happen with dirty water.

We rub with a moisture-proof coating: soak a soft cloth in the resulting solution and thoroughly rub the composition into the glass. Let it dry a little. All procedures must be done in the fresh air.

Splash water again. And a miracle happens: the water doesn’t stay even for a moment, but is simply pushed away!

Moreover, after coating, microcracks are erased and the glass becomes almost like new.
Here's a simple life hack on how to protect your headlights or windshield for a long time. I think you can get all the ingredients without any problems at hardware and hardware stores. Well, the price will suit anyone, even the most budget car owner.

      read it. works well.
      works as a degreaser.
      In addition, white spirit is included in many headlight polishes.

        White spirit will simply melt your headlight assembly. After all, it is not made of stele. Did you ever come to chemistry lessons at school?

      Last year I covered the casting of wheels on a car like this. Autumn and spring were clean. It was enough to just rinse with water.
