Optical is our fast-drying, streak-free window and glass cleaner. Its high-alcohol formula cuts straight through greasy films, fingerprints and road grime on any glass surface, then flashes off fast to leave a crystal-clear, smear-free finish inside and out. Spray it onto a glass cloth, wipe, and buff with the dry side. Because it's alcohol-based it's extremely flammable, so use it away from heat and naked flames.

The Benefits

Why You'll Love It

Crystal-Clear, Streak-Free

The finish is the whole point. Optical leaves glass genuinely clear with no streaks, smears or haze — the difference you notice most when you're driving into low sun.

Cuts Through Grease & Film

The high-alcohol formula dissolves greasy films, fingerprints, nicotine haze and road grime that water and a cloth just smear around.

Flashes Off Fast

Fast evaporation is what makes it streak-free — there's no water left sitting on the glass to dry into marks, so you buff to a clear finish in seconds.

Inside And Out

Windscreens, side windows, mirrors and headlight lenses on the outside; hazy interior glass on the inside — one bottle does all your vehicle glass.

How It Works

What Does Optical Actually Do?

Glass looks simple to clean but rarely comes up perfectly clear. Windscreens pick up a greasy film from the road and from the car's own vents; interior glass gets a foggy haze from plastics off-gassing and, in some cars, smoke. Water and a cloth just move that film around, and any water left behind dries into streaks.

Optical is a high-alcohol glass cleaner built to solve both problems at once. The alcohol dissolves greasy residues and film quickly, and — just as importantly — it evaporates fast, so there's no water sitting on the glass to dry into marks. Spray it onto a cloth rather than the glass, wipe, and buff with a dry side, and it flashes off to a clear, smear-free finish.

That fast evaporation is also why it's flammable: it's the alcohol doing the work. Used sensibly — in a ventilated space, away from heat and flames, on cool glass out of direct sun — it gives you the clearest glass in the range, which is the one piece of detailing you notice on every single drive.

The Result
"Spray to the cloth, wipe, buff dry — the alcohol lifts the film and flashes off before it can streak. Clear glass is the detail you see on every drive."

Suitability

Is It Right For You?

Ideal For
  • All vehicle glass, inside and out — windscreens, windows and mirrors
  • Hazy or filmy interior glass that never seems to come clear
  • Anyone who wants a genuinely streak-free finish, fast
  • Headlight lenses and other smooth, hard surfaces
  • Detailers who want the last-step glass polish that lifts a whole valet
Consider An Alternative If…
  • You're cleaning interior plastics, trim or fabric — that's a job for Logic
  • You can't work away from heat or naked flames — it's extremely flammable and needs a ventilated space clear of ignition sources
Safe On
  • All automotive glass, inside and out
  • Mirrors and headlight lenses
  • Infotainment screens and displays
  • Stainless steel, glass, mirrors and light switches around the house
Avoid / Test First
  • Heat, sparks and open flames — extremely flammable
  • Hot glass or direct sunlight (flashes off too fast and streaks)
Application Guide

How To Use Optical

1
Work Cool & Ventilated

Optical is high in alcohol and extremely flammable, so work in a well-ventilated space away from heat, sparks and flames, on cool glass out of direct sunlight.

2
Spray Onto A Glass Cloth

Spray Optical onto a clean glass cloth rather than straight onto the glass — it gives you more control and avoids overspray on trim.

3
Wipe The Glass

Wipe across the whole pane, edge to edge, to lift the film and grime. Work one window at a time so it doesn't flash off before you buff.

4
Buff With The Dry Side

Flip to a clean, dry side of the cloth and buff to a clear, streak-free finish. The fast evaporation does most of the work for you.

5
Check In Different Light

View the glass at an angle and in different light to catch any missed smears, then give them a quick buff. Interior glass especially rewards a second look.

Detail
Why is it streak-free when other cleaners aren't?
Because it evaporates fast. Most streaks are water drying on the glass; Optical's high-alcohol formula lifts the film and flashes off before it can dry into marks. Spraying onto the cloth and buffing with a dry side gives the clearest finish.
Can I use it inside and out?
Yes — it's made for all automotive glass. Outside: windscreens, side windows, mirrors and headlight lenses. Inside: it's especially good on the hazy film that builds up on interior glass.
Is it flammable?
Yes — it's a high-alcohol formula and is classified as extremely flammable. Use it in a ventilated space away from heat, sparks and open flames, don't spray it onto hot glass or near ignition sources, and avoid breathing the vapours. See the Safety Information panel for the full detail.
Can I use it on tinted windows or screens?
It's fine on standard automotive glass, including the outside of most window tints — but test an inconspicuous area first if you're unsure.
What should I apply it with?
A clean glass cloth — a tight-weave microfibre made for glass. Spray Optical onto the cloth, wipe, then buff with a dry side. A general cloth works but a dedicated glass cloth gives the sharpest, lint-free finish.
Why shouldn't I use it in direct sun?
On hot glass or in direct sunlight it evaporates before you can buff it, which can leave streaks. Work on cool glass in the shade, one window at a time, and you'll get a clean, clear finish every time.
