NEW windshield, now what?

[eckmo99]

Just had mine replaced. I have an opportunity to start over with a sealant/treatment. It has some spots from being warehoused but is currently pretty pristine. What to do for under $50???

Prep/Clean with DP Glass Restorer or Diamonite Spray Clay. Then seal with Aquapel or other coating.

 

[PA DETAILER]

Detailer’s Glass Coating, glass sealant, rain repellent

Maybe I'm not keeping up with the Jones but Rain X seems to work fine for a lot less cash.

I find the difference between RainX and a product like Pinnacle to be a non comparison. First the application of RainX with its haze and its pain in the butt to remove is 1, but more importantly, RainX loses its hydrophobic properties in days versus a coating or sealant lasts for months, if not years. If you don't want a customer to have to keep reapplying, then I suggest trying the newer products out there...Also, once I apply a sealant or coating the glass is so clear and crisp that it looks better than a mirror...you don't get that kind of finish with RainX...
