Living in Florida now and we get some downpours. I am looking for a good windshield water repellent. Rain X just leaves smears. I can clean with some nano shock prior to application or if you all have a better idea
 
See below thread going on right now. I personally like PBL Glass Coating but there’s a lot of good, non-oily coating products that shouldn’t have any issues in Florida heat. Even Mothers CMX Spray I hear works very well on glass. Regardless what you use, deep clean/Clay/polishing the windshield would be beneficial if it’s grimy.

What's better than Rain-X?
 
I've been using this. Am happy with it.

And that's the rest of the story....


And yeah, Griot's makes great products. They test them 6 ways to Sunday before they launch them, so by the time they are available to be purchased, you know they are solid.

I use McKee's 37 Glass Coating and then once cured, I top it with something like Beadmaker to help give it a super slick layer. Doesn't impact the performance at all but does really help the blades glide over the glass. I use it as my go-to detail spray thus rarely have issues. I'm going to give both my vehicles a heavy cleaning here soon so I'll likely re-do them both glass wise.

Another product I find that works great is Rust-Oleum's Never Wet for Glass. It's really my go-to for cars I detail. Works outstanding as well.
 
If you are looking for super easy look into Duraglass Rain Repel. It's a glass cleaner with a rain repellent. I was very surprised at the ease of application (no streaking) and the durability.

Forgot about this one. Very good product. Many don't know it doubles as a paint QD.
 
If I am not coating glass I always reach for Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant. You will get good results with any off the shelf wax too, it just won't last as long.

Griots glass sealant works well but was expecting it to last longer. Only got a month from it in the NW during rainy season. Did use wind shield alot.

Got a little better performance out of DP glass coating but only cleaned and clayed windshield didn’t polish as i just polished before the griots. It did start sheeting the water off at lower speeds than the griots.

I don’t think it’s a true glass coating but definitely alot stouter than griots and super easy to apply

Gonna polish this time first and give the DP another go

I also haven't experienced that. I'm at 4 months now and it definitely needs to be reapplied.

Does the GRIOT'S GARAGE GLASS SEALANT smear after using your wipers?

I have used it for a couple of years and never had any issue with it smearing. Sam and Nick both have some great how to videos on that product. Key is to let it cure at least two hours before going out into the rain storms.

Once you hit about 40-mph then I rarely used my wipers and it last longer with that method.
 
Has anyone used GYEON Q² VIEW WINDSHIELD QUARTZ COATING? Or, would you just stick with the Griots Glass Sealant?
