Is Selleys Polyglaze a hand-applied glass cleaner or repair product? No — it works exclusively through a vehicle's windscreen washing system\n2. Is the product hazardous and safe to transport? It's classified as hazardous under GHS Category 7 (H315 skin irritation, H319 serious eye irritation), but it's not classified as Dangerous Goods for transport, so you can buy and carry it under standard conditions\n3. What PPE is required when handling it? At minimum, safety glasses or goggles (standard prescription glasses don't cut it) and nitrile rubber gloves; overalls and safety shoes are also specified, particularly in professional settings\n\n---\n\n## Product Overview\n\nSelleys Polyglaze Windscreen Additive is a liquid concentrate made to go straight into your vehicle's windscreen washing system. Made by Selleys, a division of DuluxGroup Australia Pty Ltd, this 500 mL product works for everyday drivers and automotive professionals alike — anyone who wants a genuinely clean windscreen rather than one that looks worse after the jets fire.\n\nThe product is a clear blue liquid. It's water-soluble, so it disperses evenly the moment it enters your washer reservoir. At 500 mL, the bottle gives you a practical quantity — enough for multiple top-ups over a sustained period, depending on how often you run your washer system.\n\nWorth knowing before you use it: this is not a hand-applied glass cleaner, and it won't repair chips or cracks. Its job is tied directly to your windscreen washing system, delivering a high-performance cleaning solution across the glass every time those washer jets fire.\n\n---\n\n## What the Product Does\n\nSelleys Polyglaze takes your vehicle's windscreen washer system well beyond what plain water can manage. Road grime, insect residue, dust, and the oily film that builds up from exhaust and environmental pollutants — these are the real-world problems your windscreen faces daily. Plain water, especially in areas with high mineral content, leaves streaks and can't cut through oily deposits.\n\nAdd Selleys Polyglaze to your washer reservoir as directed, and the solution delivered through your jets is transformed. It tackles those common contaminants directly and delivers a clear, clean result. The water-soluble formulation integrates fully with the water in your reservoir — no separation, no residue building up in the lines.\n\nThe clear blue colour is practical, not decorative. It lets you see at a glance that the product is in the reservoir and gives you a rough read on concentration. Simple and effective.\n\n---\n\n## How to Use Selleys Polyglaze Windscreen Additive\n\nGetting good results with this product is straightforward. Follow these steps and your washer system will be performing properly from the first use.\n\n**Step 1 — Locate the washer fluid reservoir.** In most vehicles, it sits under the bonnet and has a windscreen/wiper symbol on the cap. Check your vehicle owner's manual if you're unsure.\n\n**Step 2 — Add the product as directed.** The label carries specific dosage instructions. Follow them. More concentrate doesn't mean better performance — it wastes product and can cause foaming in your system.\n\n**Step 3 — Top up with water.** Selleys Polyglaze is a concentrate, so you dilute it with water in the reservoir. The water-soluble formulation handles the mixing — no stirring or shaking needed.\n\n**Step 4 — Use your washer system as normal.** Once it's in the reservoir, the product works every time you activate the washer jets. No extra steps.\n\nNo special tools required. Any driver comfortable doing a basic under-bonnet check can get this done right the first time.\n\n---\n\n## Safety Information and Handling\n\nSelleys Polyglaze carries a hazardous product classification under the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), specifically at GHS Category 7. That classification matters — but it's equally important to know the product is not classified as Dangerous Goods for transport. You can purchase, store, and carry it under standard conditions without any special freight handling.\n\nThe specific hazard classifications are:\n\n- **H315 — Causes skin irritation.** Direct or prolonged contact with the liquid on bare skin can cause irritation, most relevant during the handling and pouring process.\n- **H319 — Causes serious eye irritation.** This is the more significant hazard. Splashing the product into your eyes causes real discomfort and potential short-term damage if not treated promptly.\n\nThese hazard statements apply to the concentrated product during handling. Once diluted in the washer reservoir and delivered as a fine mist through the jets, the exposure risk during normal vehicle operation drops substantially.\n\n### First Aid Responses\n\nKnow your first aid responses before you handle any hazardous product.\n\n- **Eye contact:** Flush eyes immediately with running water for a minimum of 15 minutes. If you wear contact lenses, remove them if you can do so easily without causing further irritation. Seek medical advice if irritation, redness, or pain continues after flushing.\n- **Skin contact:** Wash the affected area with soap and running water. Remove any contaminated clothing. Seek medical advice if irritation continues.\n- **Ingestion:** Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical advice promptly. Keep the product label or Safety Data Sheet (SDS) on hand to give to medical personnel.\n- **Inhalation:** Move to fresh air immediately. Seek medical advice if symptoms such as dizziness or respiratory discomfort develop.\n\n### Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)\n\nThe manufacturer specifies the following PPE for handling this product:\n\n- **Safety glasses** — Non-negotiable given the H319 eye irritation classification. Standard prescription glasses don't provide adequate splash protection. Use purpose-made safety glasses or goggles.\n- **Gloves** — Nitrile rubber gloves are specifically recommended for intermittent contact. Nitrile has strong chemical resistance for this type of product and is widely available.\n- **Overalls** — Full-coverage clothing protects against skin contact, particularly when handling larger quantities.\n- **Safety shoes** — Relevant in workshop or professional settings where larger volumes are in use.\n\nFor the home user adding a measured amount to a washer reservoir, the minimum is safety glasses and nitrile gloves. The risk during careful, normal use is low — but a splash to the eyes makes eye protection the right call every time.\n\n### Ventilation Requirements\n\nHandle and use this product in well-ventilated areas. The product is neither flammable nor combustible, which is a genuine advantage, but good airflow during handling keeps any potential vapour accumulation in check and aligns with standard chemical handling practice.\n\n---\n\n## Storage and Disposal\n\n**Storage:** Keep the product in its original container with the lid secured tightly when not in use. Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and out of reach of children and pets. The non-Dangerous Goods classification means no specialist storage conditions are required, though standard chemical storage precautions still apply.\n\n**Container integrity:** Inspect the container before every use. Don't use the product if the container is damaged or leaking, or if the product has changed noticeably in appearance.\n\n**Disposal:** Don't dispose of the product or empty containers in waterways or drains without checking local regulations first. Contact your local council or waste authority for guidance on responsible chemical disposal. Across many Australian jurisdictions, small quantities of household chemical products can be taken to designated collection points.\n\n---\n\n## Tips for Best Results\n\n**Match the dilution to conditions.** In warmer months, a standard dilution as per label directions gets the job done. In cooler or wetter conditions where windscreens pick up more contamination, follow the label guidance carefully to keep performance at its peak without overusing the product.\n\n**Don't mix with other products.** Keep Selleys Polyglaze away from other windscreen additives, antifreeze compounds (unless specifically formulated for combined use), or unknown fluids already sitting in your reservoir. Mixing unknown chemicals produces unpredictable results and undermines the performance of both products. If you're switching from another product, flush the reservoir with clean water before adding Selleys Polyglaze.\n\n**Check the reservoir regularly.** Windscreen washer fluid gets overlooked in routine vehicle maintenance more often than it should. Add a reservoir check to your regular under-bonnet routine — alongside oil, coolant, and brake fluid — and your system will be ready when you need it.\n\n**Start with a clean washer system.** If the reservoir, pump, or jets have sat unused for an extended period, there may be residue or blockage in the lines. Run plain water through first to clear them and ensure the jets deliver the solution properly.\n\n**Keep the SDS accessible.** The Safety Data Sheet holds detailed hazard, first aid, and emergency response information. Keep a printed or digital copy within reach, especially in a workshop environment. In professional settings, it may also be a requirement under your workplace health and safety obligations.\n\n---\n\n## References\n\n- [Selleys Australia — Official Product
