New windshield care

**JMak97008** · 10-09-2017, 10:45 PM

2006 300C SRT8 with 85k miles. Had the windshield replaced and after the first 2 which had defects and my own user error, I have a 3rd that I want to make I sure protect, if possible.

The 1st 2 windshields I applied rainx to and while the 1st turned out well, the second ended up with this haze that I could never remove.

So, is there a product I would want to use to help wick rain away and keep clean and possibly help mitigate scraching?

Thanks in advance.

That is Mckees, it looks extremely promising, however I have not tried it yet myself. I am finishing up Pinnacles version and while it works great I had a lot of trouble streaking and getting the window clean, once thats gone I will be trying the McKees.

+1 for Aquapel

I've been using Pinnacle Black Label (PBL) Glass coating for almost 2 years with great success, holds up well. A few months ago I put Aquapel on my father in laws truck, I keep forgetting to ask how it has been performing. He hasn't said anything either so I take it as is going good.

Jeff, just curious, what have you been cleaning your glass with?

Thanks, guys. I'm a little leary given my experience with the rainx hazing and being hard to remove. How easily does pinnacle and aquapel go on and come off?

IMHO the Pinnacle is easy as it can be on and off. My first time using the Aquapel, could have been user error, was kind of a pain to work with. Really had to buff it off, the applicator seemed to dispense the product heavy. Like I said could be user error, finished nice though.

Watch a couple of videos on YT on how to do Aquapel. You have to have a plan and be ready to go. It needs to be done fast. Once you do it then you'll feel comfortable doing it to any car.
