Other than Aquapel and RainX, I was wondering if many use a sealant on the windshield...perhaps UPGP, HV7, Reload...etc. Do any create a glare at night? Thanks for any comments.
 
I use Menzerna power lock on all my windows of my vehicles everytime i re seal my car (which is every 3-4 months). Never had any issues with streaking or glares. I did run into streak and glare issues when i use a spray wax on my windshield though, so ive stayed away from that.

How long have you been using Power Lock and how do you like it on a scale from 1-10 (best = 10)? Any issues/shortcomings with it?
 
Yes I do. Whatever sealant I am using on the car I go ahead and apply to all of the glass. never had a problem.
 
I use Aquapel on my windshield only. The rest of the windows I use KAIO.

Since i think around January this year. Longevity is great and the slickness factor is very good. Its the first sealant ive used besides meguiars line of products and i recommend it to anyone looking for a long lasting sealant. Very easy to apply and buffs off easy as well. I even use it as a wheel and glass sealant.

Good to know, thanks vm. I had seen a decent reiew posted elswhere some time back, but never heard much more chatter about it.
 
I use KAIO to clean-up my windshield and the rest of my glass (does an ok job on watermarks too), seal with Opti-Seal, and top up every now and then with Ultimate Quik Wax.
 
Using a sealant or a wax on glass is something many do regularly and have done for a long, long time.

The trick is to CLEAN the glass thoroughly before applying the coating. I use Detailer’s Pro Series High Performance Glass Restorer on a White foam pad. This product works quickly and easily to remove stubborn films and water spots leaving your glass squeaky clean.

Menzerna Power Lock is my go-to sealant. I love it! I give it a 8 or 9. Just because its almost impossible to get a 10 in my opinion. :hijacked::hotrod2:
 
Thanks for the replies...I was specifically interested in comments about the windshield ..... any glare/distortion or wiper chatter. I too seal the other glass.
 
Dear Bobby

Which sealant or wax do you use on your windshield?

I was about to order some Griot's sealant, but after looking at this thread, I see there are other options available.
