Electronic Glove is the new product from F.V.S.S. for the protection of your car’s electronics. Applied using a paint brush or by immersing the item in the substance, it creates a rubber type coating around the product which protects it from dirt and moisture. It takes about an hour to dry at room temperature or it can be sped up with a heater. To remove the coating is easy and just needs to be peeled from the device leaving no substance or residue behind (see below).
