Sorry,but I think that it is useless.

Really? Hmm can you elaborate on why you think that?

I have had decent luck with Aquapel.

Was able to do all the windows on a full-sized SUV with one unit. You do have to work fast and I suggest holding it on the windshield glass when you squeeze the wings, so you don't waste any product.

I just purchased 5 more units on close-out at O'Reily's for around a dollar each.

Since you mention that Opti-Glass is expensive, consider Opti-Seal perhaps? It uses little and last long as it should be in the class of sealant.

I have a bunch of jet seal 109 bottles I use that or rain X.

On that note, I read somewhere that Pinnacle was supposed to be very similar if not the same as Griots Glass Sealant.

I wonder, if the author of this article you read somewhere, is intimating that both of these products are formulated with PDMS. Thus:
Having an oily characteristic (similar to carbon atoms in oil)...that imbues a hydrophobicity to, in this case: Auto-glass surfaces...
NOTE: Not chemically bonded to auto-glass surfaces, as say Aquapel will chemically bond...yet still hydrophobic.

Suffice it to say that many Waxes exhibit this same
hydrophobic and "lack-of-bonding" characteristics.

It did nothing more than wash the window. Its repellant power was almost non existent.

I have both products and they seem similar or identical to me. I use them interchangeably and just grab for whatever I grab. Both products give me great results.

Interesting debate. It seems some glass sealants work well for others, while some dont. I wonder if the type of glass has anything to do with it.

I will, as Aquapel worked very well for me.

I have GTechniq G1 on my personal vehicle, waiting for the next rain to see if coating the wiper blades with G1 has calmed the chatter.
