Glass Defender Primer is an application that extends the performance life of Glass Defender MD from 5 to 10 years and Glass Defender HD from 10 to 20 years. Applying this product first is optional. ADVANTAGES
INTENDED USEThe Glass Defender Series is designed for all glass surfaces including plate or tempered glass. This product is not suitable for use in areas where food may come in contact with the protected glass.RECOMMENDATIONS
In order to maintain the glass after using the Glass Defender Series, use Scumfrees® Professional Window Cleaning Concentrate. This is specially formulated for cleaning architectural glass without leaving an oily residue behind. Oily residues in typical surfactant based soaps and detergents attract, and glue, a variety of environmental contaminates to building surfaces, causing stains. Scumfrees dries to a powder, and is free from ammonia and other harsh chemicals which can damage protective coatings on glass, metal and stone surfaces.
EXPLANATIONSeen microscopically, the surface of glass is extremely porous and contains many valleys in which stains form deep roots in the glass surface. The Glass Defender Series fills in these crevices creating a smooth, protected, plastic-like surface. The series reacts with minerals in the glass to form a polymeric barrier against environmental contaminants.NECESSARY EQUIPMENT

APPLICATIONS
Use protective gear, and prevent personal contact with these products. Do not apply this material to glass when surface temperatures are above 122°F or below freezing.Never apply this product with an applicator that has been used with other products or solutions, and especially not with soap or water. The surface must be dry and clean from all debris.
Shake and mix product vigorously. Apply Glass Defender products with a spray bottle or sponge. Use the sponge to thoroughly work the product into the surface of the glass. Spread product in a circular, over-lapping motion to ensure product coats entire surface. For best results, thoroughly work the product into the surface so that it forms a cloudy film. Polish the surface with a microfiber towel to remove excess residue. A multi-step fold process should be used for best results. Fold the towel into squares using a clean area of the rag every couple of minutes until excess material has been removed. Leave as much residue as possible while achieving the desired level of clarity. Material residue may not be seen on the glass unless viewed in direct sunlight. Never attempt to clean the residue with water or any type of cleaning solution for a period of 72 hours.
If a second coat is required. The second application should be performed with a clean and dry window cleaning brush and squeegee. Use the window cleaning brush to apply the product. Before the material dries on the glass, a dry window cleaning squeegee can be used to remove excess material. If the material starts to dry, add more product to loosen the dry material for easy removal with the squeegee. This application may eliminate the need for polishing the window. Clean excess residue from edges and frames with a rag. When using a squeegee to remove product, carefully capture excess material with the product applicator. This technique should only be attempted by an experienced window cleaning professional with advanced squeegee skills. Also, this process is only suitable for the second application. Perform subsequent applications immediately after the first. If area is not completely covered, untreated areas may be noticeable as the glass ages and stains develop there.
The product will start to cure within 1 hour. The protective coating will not fully cure for 72 hours. No liquids may come into contact with the glass during that time.
