At Metropolitan Detail in Redmond, we install Glassparency, a high-performance hydrophobic coating that bonds to your windshield and windows, making rain bead up and roll away for a clearer, safer view. It cuts glare day and night, helps bugs and grime wipe off with ease, and resists hard water spotting, all built for Pacific Northwest weather and backed by a 3-year warranty. Proudly serving Bellevue and Seattle.
You've probably tried a rain repellent that wipes on and washes off within weeks. Glassparency is different. Instead of sitting on top of the glass, it chemically bonds with the silica in the glass itself, creating a durable, water-repelling surface that lasts. That bond is what makes rain bead up and roll away as you drive, so you see more of the road in heavy weather. It cuts glare from headlights, streetlights, and the sun to ease eye strain at night, and it keeps your glass cleaner between washes, so bugs, grime, and hard water spots wipe away with far less effort. Applied by our trained team and backed by a 3-year warranty, with simple seasonal maintenance to keep it performing.


Contact us for pricing. If your glass already has hard water spots, it may need a hard water spot removal service first, and we will let you know after a look.

Glassparency cuts the glare from headlights, streetlights, and the sun, which reduces eye strain. It makes for a more comfortable drive, and it helps most on night drives and bright days.
Bug splatter and grime do not bond to a coated surface the way they do to bare glass, so they wipe right off. The glass stays cleaner longer, and your regular washes go quicker.
Hard water can leave stubborn, damaging spots on your glass. Glassparency seals the surface so mineral spotting is easier to remove and less likely to stain, keeping your windows clear.
Winter mornings get easier. Ice and frost have a harder time bonding to treated glass, so they clear faster and your windshield is ready sooner.
Every application is backed by a 3-year warranty, kept at peak performance with simple seasonal maintenance. Long-lasting protection and real peace of mind.
We thoroughly clean and hand polish every glass surface getting coated. This gives a smooth, contaminant-free surface so the base coat can properly bond with glass.
Glassparency's base coat goes on, forming the foundation layer of protection.
The top coat is applied and reacts with the silica in your glass, creating the hydrophobic surface that repels water and contaminants.
John, Lee and the entire team are top notch. John joined us to inspect the Tesla on the scheduled date and it happened to be the wettest day of the decade with delivery outside. John was soaking wet and yet took his time to inspect the car in painstaking detail, including the underbody. We did a PPF, detail, glassparency treatment and their work is awesome!. These guys are craftsmen and designers.
Great experience! I did a CQuartz and full glassparency for my fairly new car, and it came out great! The whole process was really smooth. The email communication was quick and precise. Dropping off and picking up was really easy, just about 10 mins in the morning, didn't really interfere with anything. It was raining when I picked up the car, and I immediately felt the difference with glassparency--I can see my side mirrors clearly and the windshield wipers are much less needed! I'd highly recommend this to anyone in the PNW area. I'm very happy to see my car in such great shape!
OCDetailing in the Bay Area recommended Metropolitan Detail when I moved to Seattle three years ago, and I’ve been bringing my Macan here ever since.
Metropolitan Detail completed a full suite of services on my Macan: CQuartz Finest Reserve, Second Stage Polish, Glassparency, DLUX for wheels and calipers, interior detailing, and PDR for a small dent on rear passenger door.
Lee and Charles are outstanding, professional, transparent, and skilled at their craft. When Lee inspected my car to determine how much polishing it needed, he noticed a 1-inch dent on the rear passenger door and suggested a PDR solution on the spot, saving me the hassle of making a separate trip to another shop. When I picked up my car and casually chatted with Charles about PPF on a 911, he personally gave me a tour of their new workspace next door and showed me their work on a collection of cars (e.g., Porsche, Maserati, Ferrari).
Not once have I felt pressured into unnecessary add-ons or upsells. These men genuinely care about their work and quality. I'm extremely happy with the CQuartz, and I fancy bringing my next upgrade here for PPF. Highly recommend!
Glass is one piece of it. Tint handles the heat and glare coming through the windows, and a ceramic coating does for your paint what Glassparency does for your glass.
Quality work takes time, and you should not have to wait around for it. We keep a small free fleet, based on availability, so your day keeps moving.
