I'm thinking of getting one of those hydrophobic films that you stick on your side mirrors.

Can anyone share their experience with it? First of all, does it work as advertised? If yes, how long before it loses its effectiveness? And is it easy to remove without leaving sticky gunk on the mirror?

Nakabili ako sa shopee ng tag 85 pesos size is 150x100 sakto sa side mirror. In terms of effectiveness ok naman wala talagang tubig na nagstick sa surface, pero just tested sa hose pa lang not sure lang sa ulan di pa kasi umuulan simula ng kinabit ko. Madali magasgas yun lang ang napansin ko kahit konting punas may hairline scratches na agad. Not sure kung yung mga mamahalin madali din magasgas.

Pag umulan, madidisappoint ka lang sir haha

Nagsayang lang ako ng 400 jan nung sobrang hype pa yan dahil tinanggal ko din agad, hydrophilic sya hindi hydrophobic. Pero pag ambon at moderate rains, wala syang kwenta, lalo nakapag nabasa at papalibot sa edges ng film ung droplets, mas confusing yung vision sa gabi.

PS: Yes, madali din magasgas kahit yung mamahalin. It's a scam.

PS PS: Mas effective yung side mirror visor in my experience.

Sa AliExpress ako bumili .. noong August ako naglagay .. no complaints so far.

Well it could be only me ... but I prefer hydrophilic coating on glass.

Hydrophobic coating will repel water, and thus it will bead on the surface. A hydrophilic coating will attract the water, and make it spread out on the surface, preventing beading.
