I have the Griot's now and it just seem so so. I see a few that seem to get more consistent review's but the only one I've heard works the best is Wolf's Nano Glass and I can only buy it from Obsessed and no thanks! He's sniffing to much of his own products if thinks $22 for shipping is acceptable.

We use Aquapel. Seems to do ok.

I use Opti-Seal. Not the "best" in terms of the water beads rolling away, but it lasts a surprisingly long time. Longer than RainX anyway.
 
Saw that Gtechniq G1 have long durability in several reviews. So far, so good.

Thanks Dlc,
I know you love your Opti-Seal! You cost me a few dollars on one to try it.lol It was 25% off and I also grabbed the WG
 
I just picked up the newest window kit from Kamikaze. Haven't used it yet, but based on Budget's words on it, I think it will be good.
Also recently noticed Soft99 glaco ultra fusso window coat, it looks like it could be really good as well.
 
I’ve tried a few and one I would absolutely skip is Blackfire Glasspro. Tried it twice and it didn’t last long at all. Polished the glass with a Rupes Coarse Wool and then rewashed with Reset to make sure prep was as good as I could get. Didn’t last long and wasn’t impressive for very long either. Won’t try another PBMG glass sealant unless it has a ton of reviews.

Recently tried Gtechniq G1 and at 6 months it is doing well and still makes sure the windshield stays clean.

Another one that I liked and will likely go back to is Kamikaze Window Coat. It performs impressively with rain flying off with just 30-35 mph.
 
I have been trying this for a year or so. Seems to work pretty good. I don't know about their claim to the protection part of their sales pitch. Looks like they have some data to support it. The rain repelling part of this products works pretty good. It's easy to put on and wipe dry. Seems to last several months. I always top all my glass with Meg's D156. Meg's D 156 works good for me.

C-Bond nanoShield - Windshield Protection
 
Angelwax(UK) H2go for a sealant. Soft99(Japanese) has a really good one to apparently called glaco or something. Gyeon quick view is suppose to be decent too but expensive IMO. Both glaco and quick view use similar build in applicators, almost like a stick of deodorant.
 
I’ve been using Gyeon Quick View on my wife’s car and it works well. Considering it was the easiest glass sealant to apply I’ve tried, pretty happy with it. Once the winter passes I’ll reapply.
 
How is the durability? I’ve looked at it but one test I saw it didn’t last long at all.

If that question is for me, I applied it in August and although not as good as when it was fresh, it’s still allowing us to avoid the wiper under most rainy conditions. Very light rain seems to require wipers but medium intensity will roll off as long as the car has some speed.

The application is so easy that one could just apply more often. The container has a lot of product and will last several applications.

I’ve got Gtechniq G1 on my glass right now and I still see it even after 6 months but I think I’m going back to Kamikaze Glass Coat as it is he best I’ve used. Blackfire Glasspro was definitely not good. And the sealants usually only last a few weeks.

It's still there albeit not feeling as fresh as it did when applied. If you wipe the glass after a wash with same drying aid or even a glass cleaner with some repellent in it, you might not even notice a degradation months later. Once the weather is warmer I will re-apply. It's pretty warm now but like you said, raining.

I really like Gyeon Quick View and have been using it on both garage queens and daily drivers since it was released.





Stated longevity for Quick View is said to be up to 6 months. I have seen it last 2 months on a daily driver with minimal maintenance and heavy use of the wipers. On the flip side, I still have it performing on my personal daily driver after 10 months.

How long it lasts will come down to preparation, maintenance, environmental and storage conditions. For context, although garaged overnight, the daily driver is often parked in the sun all day long and exposed to all conditions. I also don't overuse or dry-wipe the wind shield. 10 months and still performing is pretty decent for a product with a stated 6-month durability.

I clay the glass first before a wipe down with Eraser or Prep.

The big selling point of Quick View is the integrated felt applicator, making it very simply to use.





The cap on my bottle actually welded itself in place, meaning I need to apply it to a separate microfiber applicator. Either way, wipe the product on in circular motions and leave it to cure for 15-20 minutes.



For the residue removal, soak a microfiber towel in water and wring it out until just damp. Use this to wipe away the residue. I then follow this up with my normal glass cleaning process to leave a clear, streak free finish (the glass cleaner won't strip the product by the way).

From then onwards, I simply use some of my chosen drying aid to maintain it. If you don't use a drying aid, then just apply something like Bead Maker every month or two. And even if you don't do either of those things, re-applying Quick View is so dam easy anyway.

Very well written review of it, thanks. I had let it set for 10-15 minutes...then just used a mf towel that was hit with 2 spritz of gyeon cure. Came out squeeky clean.

Side note. When i recieved this product...i opened it and could tell some of the product had somehow leaked from the bottle(not sure that i lost much product but still). I contacted the company i got it from. They gave me options to rectify the situation... i chose full refund plus 20% in store credit. Worked out cuz i had originally got quick view 25% off!

These type of glass chemicals seem to be very harsh on sprayers and bottles. I have a similar product from another brand that was eating through sprayers within a week. I'm fairly sure that when they dry, they set like a rock and then prevent the sprayer from working, or in Quick Views case, gluing the cap shut.
