The label on the bottle of Optimum No Rinse with Wax says among other things that it can be used on glass. Granted it doesn't say specifically that you can use it on the outside of your windshield BUT I would advise against it. You would think any fool would not...However I did. The windshield came out clean but the problem was using the wipers the first time it rained! It streaked so bad I could hardly see and my wipers are only two months old. I got home and it took alcohol to get the wax residue off the windshield. Seemed like a good idea at the time.
 
Everyone has there moments in detailing but you learned and saved yourself however remember not to apply a new products\methods to the windshield without trying It on a test glass or on a glass thats not in your visions path way
 
What was your dilution ratio? I've never had this problem and use ONR wax on whole cars all the time and never had this problem
 
I've never had this problem before. Is it possible that your windshield had a previously built up coating of a different product?
 
I've never experienced this issue either. I use ONRWW on non-coated and Opti-Glass coated windshields without issue.
 
Only think I can think off was high concentration. I try to avoid any thing with carnuba in it for the windshield I have had streaks before from carnuba waxes on windshield. I Never have problems with synthetic polymers.
 
Never had this problem. I always use it on all the glass.

I've used a half a dozen different rinseless washes and never had this problem, hope you figure it out!

First time inused ONRWW on my windshield, the rain flew off the glass at around 50mph. Like rainx but weaker.

The only thing i can think of was that the "wax" portion was not buffed off completely. I know, i made that mistake already :)

I gave my father a gallon of this for his XMT360 sealed F250 about 2.5 years ago and haven't heard one peep about this problem. I haven't used ONRWW but plenty of others that have wax in em and also have not seen this problem, as others have said it actually HELPS in the rain clearing the windshield without using wipers.
 
I use ONRWW on just about every exterior surface of our vehicles and luckily, I have never experienced streaking on glass like you described. I'd give it a try again and see what happens. It might have just been an isolated occurrence due to something else entirely.
 
Just checking in to let the OP know he's not the only one. I don't remember which Optimum product it was (probably instant detailer or the car wax). But, I had the same problem with the wipers smearing the product and losing visibility.
Probably from using too much product and a film remaining.
