Better than Rain-x?
I just bought Duragloss Rain Repel, and was very hopeful, as it had good reviews. Rain-x is a pain to apply, and just doesn't last that long.
I tried the Duragloss Rain Repel, and its convenient, being a glass cleaner. It does bead the rain, but it doesn't allow you to drive with the wipers wiping less: the water doesn't stream off the windshield at speed. After the 12 days of rain here in NC, I have reluctantly put Rain-X back on.
Anyone have other suggestions? I don't really want to get to high dollar glass coating, but if they outperform Rain-x and last much longer, I might consider it.

Car Pro's Forte would be my choice.

I started using 845 on glass. Going on 4 months on my windshield and my wife's. I don't use my wipers much and it still sheds water great, she uses her wipers a lot and I need to reapply on her windshield.

Once the seal is broken, you must use all of it.

And Aquapel doesn't go very far either. I did my windshield on my small Kia, and I think I did the two front side windows with "Vapor" that was left.
Second time I used it, I got some tips here, popped the applicator facing up, not down, spread it thinner, worked like DATA on Ster Trek, and then barely got the side windows too.
I wasn't impressed with Aquapel's performance or longevity either.

And the second time I used Aquapel, I went to the nines cleaning-prepping the glass beforehand. First clean with Invisible Glass, then Clayed, then used Pinnacle Cleaner-waterspot remover, then 91% Alcohol, then CP Eraser.
I didn't think the stuff lasted any longer than Rain-X IMO, both times. It's one product I'll never buy again, even if the applicators were 59 cents each.

I do the same, Collinite 845 or DG 105 on my windows.

You can do two out of one treatment, but you have to have all your ducks in a row. You have to work super fast.
