Windshield treatment product lineup...

[badtlc]

I'm looking for suggestions for my windshield treatment regimen. I'm looking for a nano/sealant type product with longevity. Ideally, i'd like to find a product lineup that has a cleaner/maintainer, sealant/treatment and a complementing washer fluid.

Any good suggestions out there?

What are you talking about, something like Rain-x?

I don't use rain-x or similar polymer (or silicone) based products on my front windshield, period.

The smearing effect is quite distracting esp. during nitetime driving while in the rain.

Use a glass cleaner to keep it clean and wipe off the wiper blades once a month with a wet paper towel.

I agree. That is why i'm interested in the bonding products and not Rain-X. Aquapel works amazing but I can't find their windshield wiper fluid anywhere. Pinnacle has some good looking products, too.

Rain-X doesn't last long enough for what I'm looking for.

Try Aquapel. You should be good for at least 3 months with one treatment. It is a fluorinated water repellent.

Hello, I've heard the smearing complaint about Rain-X before as well as claims of it gumming up on wiper blades.
I've never known the product to do anything but WORK GREAT.
It is VERY HARD WORK to get that final polish on the glass but I can do it.
The same goes for their interior windshield product "Anti-Fog".
EVERYONE in my family loves Rain-X's effect.

All I can think of is that people don't rub hard enough and leave it on too thick.
Night driving after a bad Rain-X job would be torturous. Kira

Try a ceramic coating like pinnacle surface coating or duragloss enviroshield

I put Meguiars Ultimate paste wax on my windshield ever 4-5 months. As long as you spend the time to remove it it works fine.

If my property wasn't covered in trees I probably wouldn't but it seems like its easier to remove the tree sap with it on then without it.

+1. I've found a good heavy towel (like the cheap bath towels) to work best for buffing the rain-x. Effects last a LONGGGG time, too. I use "splash" washer fluid without additives and my rain-x from last fall is still effective.

This pinnacle black product sounds interesting. 18 month long protection from one application!

OK, I think I have to try this product:

http://www.amazon.com/SCIFI-MAGIC-Covale...ords=nano+glass

Here is their site:

Here are some others I have found:

http://www.glasspolishshop.com/surface-sealant-easy-clean-coating-water-repellent?search=sealant

http://www.nanosafeguard.com/

Looks like there are a ton of nano products out there and it looks like proven technology that lasts well over a year but I'm guessing these won't blow off water quite as easy as shorter interval products, right?

I like Rejex for that. It's significantly more difficult to apply on glass than on paint (and on glass than Rain-X is), but it is worth the effort, especially when the bugs are out.
