Factory glass is able to withstand the rigors of everyday driving, like bugs, inclement weather, and us. However, factory glass tends to be pretty heavy, and therefore, when we put our car on a diet we look at every single component on the car and decide if it’s needed or not. We have to determine how important that component is, and if it will help or hinder our car’s performance.

Applying steel wool to a glass, or Polycarbonate product will most likely lead to scratches and abrasions, but not with Optic Armor’s Armor Coating.

When it comes to vehicle glass, in all-out drag cars, much of the glass was replaced with Lexan. Unfortunately, many products have the tendency to become fogged or scratched to the point where it’s difficult to see where you’re going. Optic Armor Polycarbonate is capable of keeping those issues, especially scratches and abrasions, at bay. That’s why so many use Optic Armor windows — even on cars that see extended street duty.

Optic Armor’s Armor Coat is a coating applied to the windows in what the company calls a clean room free of contaminants to make sure the coating isn’t compromised during the application process. If the coating process was to be compromised, that could lead to scratches and abrasions, but Optic Armor takes the necessary measures to make sure that doesn’t happen. The Optic Armor glass is able to be cleaned using typical glass cleaning products, which separates it from other aftermarket glass manufacturers.

If your race car needs lightweight glass, Optic Armor’s Armor Coat Polycarbonate is up for the job.
