Looking for first hand users of products you think are good. What you would put on your own car.

Have tried a few different things-- rain-X to aquapel

Thanx

Nothing beats Rain X but you have to reapply every week.

I’ve used Aquapel in the past and liked it. Then switched to McKee’s 37 Glass Coating and have used that for years, quite pleased with it. Most recently tried the latest version of CarPro FlyBy Forte (4.0) and didn’t love how it applies, super difficult to apply following their instructions. Might try applying it like a regular coating next time.

I use whatever sealant I use on the paint on the glass, most recently 303 Graphene.

You would think a sealant with graphene in it would work well on a windshield.

It works great for me...no smearing or streaking on the glass when using the wipers, bugs don't stick etc.

Has anyone used Gyeon Quickview? I'm thinking of adding this to my war chest.

I’ve been intrigued by it and might try it next time. Looks pretty easy to apply.

I slapped on leftover CQUK 3.0 and have been pretty pleased with it. Water isn't flying off like Rain-X or anything but it effectively repels water and keeps my glass pretty clean. I'm also a "wiping minimalist" (something my wife will NEVER understand) which has really extended the longevity of it. Not having to commute about 50 miles a day probably helps a lot too :laughing:

I have treid all kinds of windshield coatings with a lot of good results. My favorite that is pretty easy to allow is GTechniq G5 Water Repellent Coating. I recently tried Griot's Garage Glass Sealant amd was not that impressed. Rain X is good but don't last long. I tried some left over coating a time or two but have found that none really last a long time in heavy rain with wipers going for a long time. I there is soemthing that sheets water and last let me know.

I have used quite a bit of glass coatings and the amount of wiper usage is going to determine the durability and longevity.

Currently my goto is the P&S Vue glass coating. Super easy to work with. The rainbow effect definitely helps with knowing when to wipe off.

The new CarPro FlyByForte is nice but it can be a bit tricky to get right. The new version doesn’t require all the prep work. Degrease aka panel wipe and then coat. The coating has an etching effect where it will bond itself.

McKee’s 37 is about as easy as it gets. Pretty durable for a spray coating.

I have also been playing around with the artdeshine Graphene window coat. Which is pretty good. Has the sweating effect like Gtechniq CSL telling the user when to wipe off.

I will receive my order for the new stoners glass coating to see if it is any good. Stay tuned for that.
