    This.

    I just Rain-X'd mine today. I did my wife's a few days ago, the windshield and both passengers. It just works. I've been using it for a long time and it just works (when applied correctly). I've put sealants on glass in the past and I've never used something that has blown me away or made me switch.

    I’ve tried a ton of stuff. Nothing lasts that long and those that clam they do take three or four steps just to get them applied. RainX works great. Apply once a month or two and ur done.


    graphine is click bait btw.

    Glassparency glass coat
    Cerakote glass coat

    they all performed worse then rainx. If it ain’t broke…….

    I’ve had it a few times. I can’t say how long it lasts, as I don’t drive a whole lot, but you can definitely notice a difference. The only prep is to clean your glass before.

    That works. It'll probably be a couple of weeks before I get to it, this weekend is booked. I've been using Instabead, it does OK but I still get water spots outside of the wiper area.

    Yes but just remember do not let the product sit. Spray on wash off. One panel at a time. If you end up with residue just wipe the glass down.

    Try Aquapel, it blows RainX out of the water. More expensive but it won't clog wiper blades and wears off evenly, not just the wiper travel path.

    I have Gyeon Quartz Q2 View on my windshield and it does ok, and I did all the prep work, not sure I’d use it again. I had some leftover Adams Advanced Graphene Ceramic Coating from my Silverado and put it on my side windows and the water flies off of those fast. I used to not use Adams detailing products, but have since used plenty, and I am impressed.
