Re: What's better than Rain-X?
I have been using the Pinnacle glass twins as of late. No complaints. Once the glass coat is on, I like the fact it can be maintained with the glass cleaner.

No. Most paint coatings will cause wiper chatter.

On non wiper windows I use Rust Oleums Never Wet for glass. Works great.

I ordered the McKee's 37 Glass Coating based on a few comments here although the Amazon reviews are not promising.

Amazon reviews represent the entire North American population (most of which aren’t detailing enthusiasts or experts). You’ll like it, the haters probably didn’t prep.

Agree. I look to Amazon most of the time but on items like this, there's not a huge number of them and I agree, they probably didn't prep it right. I'm very opinionated on prep work because when it's done right, I've always had success. I too have cut corners or cheated and that's when less than stellar results appear. Everyone's idea of a fully prepped windshield is different too. Mine....water clings.....zero beads or separation.....if it doesn't do that, it's not fully prepped. Only then will I dry it and ensure it's fully dry and then coat it.

Don’t worry about it. You will enjoy the coating.

Re: What's better than Rain-X?
this group doesn't want to like rainx because it's not unique, but truth is, for the cost and ease of application, the stuff is good. I have some flyby30 I've been waiting to apply and I'm interested to see if it'll last that much longer and function that much better that it's worth the whole process. Because for a polish and decon it better, otherwise the wash and application of rainx will continue to be my go to.

On that note, any suggestions on prep? The car is new, like under 100 miles and produced in June so it is really new.

Same prep as a 20yr old car. My process is to use Griot's Fine Glass Polish I use a polisher but you can do it by hand too. A polisher really helps ensure it's removing any and all grime and film that will be there from both the manufacturing process of the vehicle and any exposure. I like Griots and it flat-out works and is easy to remove. Most paint polishes can be difficult but will work. Once polished, I wipe with denatured alcohol then wipe with a rag and just plain water. Let dry and apply the coating.
If the coating goes on and I saw some of the reviews that said it left a haze, simply wipe the haze away with a MF Rag damped with plain water. Once clear, buff and let it cure for a day or so before you use your wipers. You'll be good to go from there.
