I was just a little confused in the order of directions on using this product! Also which applicator to use with each product!:xyxthumbs:
 
I've never used it so I'm no help. Hopefully someone with experience with the product will chime in soon...
 
I polished my glass with dp hp glass restorer , wiped down with eraser , applied flyby with the block and suede towel. buffed with a mf madness slogger . pretty simple

Is it working good?
 
I did a full polish with rayon pads and ceriglass, applied product and car sat for a week before driving, not impressed, going to give another try soon.

Same here tried it once and was not impressed but it was cold when I applied it, so I'll give it another try sometime soon...
 
Nice! Thanks for the info put some on earlier today. See what happens! Thx again
 
The stuff works very well. Make sure it's warm when you apply it and let it sit for 1-2 minutes before removing. I do two coats and it lasts months. 5-8 depending on wiper use.
 
I applied it. 3 days later I polished it off. I don't like it for my windshield at all. My wipers chattered so much, it was nuts. And they make all times of noise. Not cool.

But just tonight I applied FlyBy30 to all my glass except my windshield. 2 layers. On surfaces not being abraded by wipers, I hope to have a rain-x effect for almost a year. We'll see. But I can tell you that I will never use FlyBy30 on any window with a wiper on it again. We'll see how it is on the side and rear windshield of my sedan.

I think I will also be applying it to the side windows of our RAV. Not the front or rear windshield though, since they have wipers.


EDIT: forgot to add my experience was with the 2014 formula.

Weird. I didn't have any wiper chatter with the old formula, maybe the new formula that resists wiper abrasion makes them chatter?
I find with this stuff I never need to use the wipers anyway.
 
Chatter can happen from a variety of variables aligning in an unfortunate manner -

It is quite short lived if it does happen but here's what usually causes it and tips to avoid-

Type of rubber
Age of rubber
Tension on wiper blades
If the wipers are stiff or flexible with no tension
Length of wiper blades

In summary - if the pressure on the wiper is not as strong as the friction between the two types of materials along some portion of the wiper blade chatter can occur.

The times I have heard of this it's generally when the vehicle contains the blades with no springs to tension them. I expect it's the rubber type as well-

We recommend cleaning the wiper blades very well with eraser and mf towel followed by reload to change the friction.

Hahaha that is the truth though. We had a straight down pour and man, it almost gave me vertigo on how fast the rain was flying off. I shot a video, it was pretty cool. But eventually I needed to use the wipers and they made lots of racket.

I am admittedly anal about how I want my windshield to react to rain and how I want my wipers to behave. The RAV is 6 months old and it hasn't had ANYTHING on its windshield since I love the way they are from the factory. My car I made the mistake when it was a month or two old of rain-x and that ruined it. New car w/ new wipers you don't hear them at all, they just glide. That's what I am looking for, personally.

Thanks for the info and advise. I do have a new vehicle that doesn't have those springs all over its OEM wiper blades.
