Has any used Gtech Exo on glass. I need a windshield coating suggestions welcomed

[Mgavin1985]

I have never done a coating on windshield I think it’s time. I have csl and Exo on my suv very happy with dirt shedding and water action. It make since to me to buy some more Exo and use it what’s a windshield going to use 5-10ml so I thought what am I gonna do with the rest...... that reason behind thinking of Exo at least the other 25ml can be used or sold during a detail.

what is everyone using for windshield coating I’m open to suggestions?

Optimim Opti-glass. There is enough to do probably 20 windshields and it has a decent shelf life.

I have been using Aquapel on the wife's Buick and it has been lasting for about 6 months. There are no smears after using the wipers especially at night time.

It probably won’t last due to the wiper abrasion. I’d stick with an actual glass coating.

[Mgavin1985]

So anybody want to split some opti?

If you don’t want to spend the money on opti-glass then Mckee’s and CarPro FlyByForte are good alternatives.

GTechniq has their glass coatings but I have not used them.

How many windshields are you guys getting out of a bottle of McKee's glass coating? I am debating purchasing more Aquapel or trying McKee's. Right not it costs me 60$ for 10 Aquapel applicators. A bottle of McKee's would be about 92$ including shipping and conversion to CAN$. So in order to make sense, it has to be able to do at least 15 windshields.

I have used the GT glass coatings and they can be finicky to work with.

Good luck, not the most friendly glass coating to apply.

Sounds like over kill if your using a rotary with Ceriglass to prep. G1 is still not the easiest to remove without streaking.

I second that.

BUT, it lasted 2 years on my car with awesome results. Wipers started skipping, so that's when I went with 22PLE at that point. That lasted two years. Cancoat currently...but I have a bottle of McKee's just itching to be opened.

[Mgavin1985]

Hey how did the can coat work I have some off that laying around? I love can coat!!!

Is g1 the coating u have to put on your wiper blades too or is that view?

[Mgavin1985]

It was over kill did want to see buffer trails from rotary I polished the #### out of it until it got dark I will know on my way to work if it was worth it!!! The felt pad was jumping around On long throw the rotary was smooth I then went over with a lake county purple on both machines . I originally tried web order cerium oxide the orange stuff mixed with water that did more damage than good about 2 months ago I have been putting this off for a while so I had to clean up self induced swirls from the garbage I bought on eBay that reason for blitzkreg on my windshield What a f-ing mess. I didn’t move the other cars out of my driveway they got cover in the white fling off i taped mine up so words of wisdom here make sure your other cars are 10 feet away I’m just hoping to get back to the windshield I started with. Be happy with that.
