The Great thing about this type of follow up and review is that it pushes these companies to improve their products and pushes them to be honest about the performance 🎭

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Absolutely. The good brands always listen to viewer feedback and do their best to improve on future versions and formulas.

[@StonerCarCare]

Pan, thank you for the honest review. Feedback helps us improve. Of course we are disappointed you didn't get the results you were looking for and we know this was a worst case scenario, like you pointed out. The fact is, proper maintenance and vehicle care will ensure the longevity of any coating you put on your car-even a ceramic coating. Continually running windshield wipers over glass that's covered in grit and grime is simply going to degrade the protective layers over time. To get the most out of any ceramic coating, we recommend at a minimum that drivers regularly clean their windshield with Invisible Glass. And, as Pan mentioned, using our Invisible Glass Hybrid Ceramic spray once every two or three months as a "topper" is a great way to protect and extend the life of any ceramic coating. We will continue improving our products and providing value to our customers. It's what we've always done and will always do. It's also why we stand behind our products by offering our money-back guarantee. Pan, thanks again! And, we hope your brother will discover the joys of detailing now that he's got a garage to call his own. 🙂

[@79blustone]

Can't argue with that! Simple and honest approach, I like that and will consider your brand when I'm running low on what I currently have left. Its always good to try a something new, especially when is highly recommend 👌

[@KonstaNykanen]

I just recently applied Soft99 Ultra Glaco to all the glass surfaces on my mum's car and it's so super hydrophobic👌🏻. Literally no need for wipers especially when doing highway speeds. Stoner will probably in the future catch up to it's competition in terms of long term durability👍🏻. Great video Pan❤, absolutely love it when you make videos with Andy👍🏻.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks!

[@KonstaNykanen]

@@PanTheOrganizer 👍🏻❤️

[@beatfarmerfan]

After watching your video on applying the Stoner ceramic glass coating, I bought the package with glass cleaner, stripper and ceramic coating. I used it on my vehicle at the end of August, so it would hopefully last through the winter. I live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, on the shore of Lake Superior. Our winters will definitely give it a workout, as it is parked outside all year. I will update you in the spring. Thanks for doing these great updates!👍

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Keep us updated for sure! Cheers!

[@priveprive9871]

How is it now ? Any update after months?

[@beatfarmerfan]

@@PanTheOrganizer March 20th, so far so good! Snow and ice is definitely easier to clean off. Driving in the rain is quite the experience too. The water just blasts off the windshield. I also coated my headlights. I’m going to wait until the end of summer and buy another kit to repeat the process, this time I will be doing my brothers new car at the same time. This time I will wait 2 years to see if it wears off, but I do have to say I am impressed with the product. 👍

[@georgestanley3755]

I have had it on for 7 months. And still doing amazing. Lives outside in southern Ohio and is washed every two weeks

[@theredscourge]

Your wipers are probably in better shape than his, or the manufacturer may not have designed his as well for applying even pressure throughout their range of motion.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Good to know!

[@georgestanley3755]

Believe it or not but it has been on a f-150, Silverado 1500 and a Mack for the 7 months

[@ruebarb1]

The idea that a glass coating is going to last with the use of wipers is not practical. I use gyeon quickview, works great, couldn't be any easier and fast to apply. Who cares if I need to spend 10 min every few months and I'm not worried about using the wipers and wearing down the coating. Some things aren't worth trying to achieve, like a long term tire coating, when it takes seconds to apply it fresh each wash.

[@RaghuKannan]

Same, I use glaco q for the same reason, easy to apply. As a plus, it works from slightly lower speeds as well.

[@Pearlmikejam]

I have been disappointed with Quickview. I also use the Glass + for maintenance and while the sheeting is nice, there is always a film on the windshield or streaking. That alone will prevent me from repurchasing. Other products like the Last Coat are much clearer and provide the same hydrophobic properties.

[@VAFR98]

The mere fact that you gentlemen are hockey fans is a bonus on top of the fact you enjoy detailing cars

[@PanTheOrganizer]

True that! Haha. Since their last cup win in 1993, they have been to the finals only once in 2021. It seems like they have been in team rebuild mode for decades now haha.

[@NRALifeMbr]

I did a full paint correction on my 2017 BMW 330E and then did Armor Shield IX with 2 coats including the glass. It's been a few months and it's still awesome but to be fair, I do maintain the paint and glass regularly with the Armor Shield Lite. It's rained the past couple of days here in Oklahoma and the water beads are tight like they should be. Thumbs up from me.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Good to know!

[@rivakhoffman4825]

Great to see Andy again! He looks like a pro hockey player himself. Assuming he played amateur level. Anyway, I applied Stoners on my wife BMW X3 M40. I had a similar experience. Perhaps it was due to living in Arizona. No real rain this year, just intense heat. Stoner only lasted 3 months before beading went away. Bummer given the cost of the glass cleaner plus the coating. Oh well!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for sharing. Andy has never played hockey in a team, just for the record. He used to play for fun on the streets with his friends when he was younger, but that's the extent of it. But he's a true hockey fanatic in terms of watching the Montreal Canadiens play in the NHL ever since he was a young child. So decades of passion for that team.

[@JhawkerZ]

Great video. I like these types of videos with perspective from someone else such as Andy. In comparison with your own testing and thoughts.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@12Bravojeepstuff]

I started using the stoner invisible glass ceramic cleaner for a couple of weeks now. Absolutely the best cleaner I have used in a long time. Easy on and off with little to none streaking or film at wipe off. Water sheeting seems to be doing well. (For the two weeks so far) I have put it on all three of our vehicles. I'm actually gonna use it on the glass shower doors in the home next. Thank you for the follow up!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for sharing your experience too.

[@ericwright1075]

Hi to you both, Pan and Andy. I use Stoner invisible glass and follow up with their Clean and Repel. This is done with every wash because we live on the edge of the East Coast ( with lots of salt spray and seagulls). Stoner make excellent products.🇨🇦

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for sharing!

[@o0Hotiron0o]

Thank you Pan, thank you Andy... big fan of (‘Boston Bruins’) Hockey, I got to see my first Montreal Bruins game in Montreal last year. What a terrific venue, loved it and look forward to going up to Montreal again. As far as glass coatings go, I’ve always used believe it or not…… Rain-X applied to the glass and with the Rain-X all season 2-in-1 windshield washer fluid being used solely. Living in the Northeast of the US especially in the winter with salt application on the road surfaces. The product seems to keeps its water shedding properties longer with the reapplication of the Rain-X washer fluid.... every time I need to spray the windshield its reapplied. Twenty-four years of use on multiple vehicle’s and I’m still impressed. I believe it’s the reapplication of the product in the form of the washer fluid that really can contribute to the lasting durability of that first application of the product from the bottle.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for sharing! And you guys in Boston have a great team! If only they can clinch a cup win!

[@neilwalker5041]

For having zero maintenance I thought the product performed very well. Windshields are tough and who knows what kind of oils and minerals were trapped in the windshield wipers. This is not fusso quality yet but a solid product. Thank you for the review.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Good point Neil!

[@jasonhausauer8662]

Thanks for the video Pan! I did a 50/50 on my own windshield with half being Gyeon Quick View and the other being Aquapel. I've been an Aquapel user for a long time, but I'm always looking for the latest and greatest! I applied them I'm the spring of 2022, so going on about 1 1/2 years. I washed my truck last night and I can tell the Gyeon side is definitely slowing down. There is still some there, but the Aquapel side is still going strong. Aquapel claims a 6 month durability, but I'm well over a year on it and I'd say it's still 85-90%. I live in Minnesota so I get cold, harsh winters much like you do in Canada. I think I might polish the windshield this spring and do a 50/50 with Aquapel and the Ultra Glaco and see how that goes.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Wow that’s nuts. I never got more than 6 months with Aquapel in my conditions. But yes it’s a very good glass sealant and easy to apply.

[@79blustone]

Come on Andy! Your brother is a pro at this, you should be washing your car weekly especially if Pan is given you the best products. Speaking of washing cars weekly, Pan, you should be washing your girlfriends car more often then once a month and you are washing yours at least 2 weekly. Perhaps you could washing hers weekly or bi monthly? 😅

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Haha no at one point, I'm already so busy, I'm already doing a lot more than I should... I take care of my brother's car, my parent's car, my girlfriend's car, above an beyond all my customer vehicles. At one point, it gets to be too much.

For a superior glass coating it’s hard to beat Aquapel. I’ve been using it for years on customer’s cars and it’s highly durable. Lasts for minimum of a year and if car is garage kept it can last over a year. Comes in individual glass vials so you know it’s always going to be fresh and effective.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I used to like Aquapel a lot, until I discovered Soft99 Ultra Glaco which lasts twice as long in my testing. Best glass specific coating for DIY in my opinion.

Can the ones like your brothers be polished as well? As always, thanks good sir!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

A) CarPro lasts longer for sure. But my favourite glass specific coating is still Soft99 Ultra Glaco by far. B) No as those aren't painted, they are just textured plastic. You don't polish those. You can use a trim restorer if they fade.

[@douglashouck6556]

Per the Invisible Glass Ceramic Glass Coating Application Guide: Q: How long does Invisible Glass Ceramic last? A: One application will last over a year, ,,, The one degradation you may see is that your windshield wipers have the same effect as "weathering" because of their abrasive action, therefore the windshield coating will not last as long as the side windows. So, a year for panoramic sunroofs but less for windshields. YMMV ;-)

[@PanTheOrganizer]

It's the same for all glass coatings and glass sealants though. Wipers will naturally wear the protection down. But I do know other glass coatings that have the same 1 year claim, that do much better in my conditions. My favourite being Soft99 Ultra Glaco. Here's a 10 month update on that one here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIq0m6KCq7SSg9Esi=vrjUaSeubtvjtJ0x That one easily lasts 10-12 months in my testing. People in more gentle climates have reported 1+ year.

I had applied Turtle Wax ceramic wax and coating on windshield. The problems I faced after that I never used any coatings on windshield are 1) Oily Slick which makes oncoming vehicles light reflect onto your eyes making driving very very difficult. 2) During rainy season hundreds of all small droplets on windshield produce glitters which again makes driving challenging. 3) Cleaning windshield with microfiber towel (without Windshield Cleaner) is close to impossible.

Great video Pan, have to give this product a try. I had a quick question, in your awards video this year I noticed for the spray on rinse off sealants, you placed Gyeon Wetcoat in first place. What puts the Wetcoat above Hydro2? Just wanted your input on this because I am torn between the two to use in my business. Love the videos and channel.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You'd be nitpicking trying to pick between both, as Gyeon WetCoat and CarPro Hydro2 Lite are very very close in terms of performance. So the only thing you have to worry about is get the one that costs less to you. CarPro and Gyeon are both top tier brands, with similar offerings, so you can't go wrong regardless of your pick.

I just do a couple of light sprays with Rain-X glass cleaner after I do a full car wash (by hand), buff it off and then use sprayway to get rid of the streaks as rain-x streaks horrendously. I don't know how long it lasts because I top it up every 3-4 washes. Which is usually a month or 2. I'm in Oklahoma, doesn't rain a lot but when it rains it pours around here

No matter how hard I try , I can never buff that “haze” Rain-X leaves behind. Tried water as product suggests and also glass cleaner. Looks great during the day but at night when the lights hit it, it’s absolutely horrible!

[@jmc4975]

@Jagthunder1 I agree it is a pain in the ass to get right, but I feel I've got a good consistency of application now. If you fully clean your glass first, with a proper glass cleaner, I use Sprayway and then 2 sprays on the windshield, buff it off and then sprayway a couple light sprays of sprayway and another buff. If the glass is in good nick that should be plenty good enough. Although a lot of the ceramic based stuff is also good on glass and seems to naturally be less streaky in my experience.

Pan, I have a question. I'm always cleaning the outside of the windshield (most of the time using Hydra mix). It seems like after cleaning the windshield 5-6 times, any sealant for the glass simply will wear away due to the cleanings. Will a coating stand up to frequent cleanings? Thanks and that was a great video as always.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Coatings are more robust, so yes they should hold up to glass cleaners more than glass sealants like RainX. As long as you get a quality coating.

It may seem counterintuitive but would it benefit the durability and longevity of the glass if you were to put either the same coating on the wipers or a coating meant to go on rubber specifically like a trim sealant perhaps? Might be a dumb question just curious

I'm going to use a ceramic glass coating as well as the Turtle wax hybrid ceramic coating spray. Which should I apply first because the spray may interact with each other?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Do not do that. You don't stack different ceramic protections on glass. Pick one, and use that. You can't guarantee the chemical compatibility, and you'd be masking the protection underneath. If you want the best glass coating I have tested, use the one in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIq0m6KCq7SSg9Esi=PqJ6xDsu1vCPnbB1

Hi Pan! I’ve been a fan and subscriber of your channel for over a year. I really enjoy your in depth coverage of detailing practices. I currently work for a taxi company that retains the vehicles after shift, and does pressure water spraying to clean the exterior. I don’t care about the body paint, but the windows and mirrors are terrible, very much a safety issue. What would be the fastest and cheapest method for making the glass usable? I’m mainly concerned about the windshield, front driver and passenger windows, and driver and passenger mirrors. Driving in the dark in the rain in these vehicles is horrendous. Rain droplets cling to the glass, along with months+ old water spots that are so ridiculous - the water spots have water spots. I cleaned one cabs front glass the other day with Invisible Glass, but it left behind much of the water spots. Had the same cab today and it’s not as bad as it was before, but the mirrors especially have reaccumulated water spots from the lousy pressure washing. I imagine I need a cleaning product, and a protecting coating product. It needs to be as quickly done as possible. Like 5 minutes is 6 minutes too long.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

The easiest and simplest DIY way is to first glass stripper compound to polish the glass to remove water spots and contamination, and then apply a proper glass coating. See my full tutorial here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6THfmCKp7lqnMksi=zJwe3vYpuqHi0_yJ After the first polishing step, if the water spots are still there, it means they etched the glass a lot, and you'll need to step up to a more professional glass polishing and coating like in my video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r37MZoOqrtaIf5osi=9UOg4OCf9m0eaQy7 I hope this helps.

[@fccquoter19]

I'm a bit confused. When you guys say these products last up to 6 months or so (like Glaco 99 for example), i don't see this at all. No need for wipers for the first couple weeks, but after that until you're doing about 70 mph, the windshield isn't hydophobic enough to go without wipers. I want that year round. Even Rain-X will work for a week or so.... These products are pretty good, but honestly nothing has seriously lasted for me more than a few weeks. I've used Rain-X, Aquapel, Glaco. All pretty much the same....

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Durability depends on multiple factors: prep before the application (crucial to wash, clay, strip, IPA wipe), the application itself (so many people don't follow the instructions), weather where you live, mileage, maintenance, etc. Once you have a proper glass coating, you can't live without it. I know I sure can't. It's not meant to never use your wipers, it just helps a lot with using the wipers much less, as the hydrophobics do a lot of rejecting the water and having it fly off thus increasing clarity and visibility while driving in rainy weather. Soft99 Ultra Glaco, their flagship glass coating, has always given me 10-12 months of durability, and is still my favourite glass specific coating for DIY. I had a 10 month update here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIq0m6KCq7SSg9Esi=mHanA9_ORtnIakeY But like any protection, different people live in different conditions and have different experiences with waxes, coatings, sealants, etc. Find one that works for you and stick to it.

[@fccquoter19]

That's what I'm saying though Pan, what do you mean by durability? In my mind, I consider durability, a product acting like it does on day one, acting that way for a period of time. They just haven't made it more than a few weeks. I mean like Glaco 99, water flies off the windshield at 30-35 mph right away. That only lasts a few weeks. It progressively gets worse. It just is what it is. My expectations are just too high. I don't care what it costs, if it lasted for 6 months, I'd pay hundreds for that product. I just haven't seen it in the market yet.@@PanTheOrganizer

[@PanTheOrganizer]

We can go back and forth on what you think durability is, vs another person's definition. But it's generally accepted that "durability" is how long a product lasts on the surface it's applied to. That doesn't mean the performance will be 100% like day 1 all the way until the last day. That's impossible, as everything wears out with time, even your car's paintwork. But in my experience with Ultra Glaco, I can easily say it gives me 85-90% of the initial performance even 10 months into it. Some of my viewers in more gentle climates report 12+ months of super high hydrophobics, almost like day 1. That's impressive. But that doesn't mean every single individual has the same exact results. But I understand if your expectations are different. You're certainly entitled to have what ever expectations your hard earned money wants. If that's the case, you can splurge for a professional grade glass coating that has a 3 year claim, and is the best ever made. But it will cost way more compared to a DIY application, and it needs regular servicing. See my video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIHKg6enlK18aM0si=rgbF8gsrTh-2DsUb

Pan, thanks for the video. I put a ceramic coating on my windshield about 2 years ago. It is a garaged car and wipers run only when necessary. I current cannot get the glass to be totally clear/clean when I use a auto glass cleaner on it (I have tried several different glass cleaners with the same result). It looks like water spots on the glass, but I think it is ceramic and not water spots. I think I would be better off removing the ceramic from the glass. I was thinking about using a glass polish with a DA buffer to get the ceramic off. Do you think this will damage my windshield? Do you have a better suggestion? Thanks in advance for your help.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yes the best thing is to wash the car. Then clay the glass. Then machine polish using a glass polish, and glass polishing pad (rayon pad). Once done, use an IPA to remove polishing oils, and you can apply a better quality glass specific coating. This won't damage the glass at all. Glass is much harder compared to paint. So zero worries. See my glass polishing tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r37MZoOqrtaIf5osi=XlEorXdkBkxgLN0a

[@adamkravcik5855]

Can you put a ceramic finisher like diy ceramic gloss on a waxed car or will it not last on wax like it would on a ceramic sealed car?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

It's not recommended to mix regular waxes with ceramic based products, as you'd be masking the coating's superior performance and you can't guarantee a proper bond between waxes and coatings. Coatings usually end up rejecting the wax anyways. For maintenance of a coated car, use ceramic and graphene based products.

Hey Pan, how is NV Glass, did it hold up to your testing? Looking for something pretty durable that stands up to use with wipers

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I used NV Glass a while ago now, I didn’t really do any follow ups in videos with it, as it’s impossible for me to follow every single product I try it would be an impossible task. But NV coatings are usually very good. My favourite DIY glass coating to date is still Soft99 Ultra Glaco though. Stupid easy to apply, and lasts 10-12 months in my testing (I made a 10-month update video with it). But for any glass coating, you have to manage your wiper use. The whole point of having glass protection is to reduce the wiper use, as hydrophobic properties and windspeed will evacuate the water quickly. Wipers do mechanical abrasion when used and will inevitably wear down the coating if used too often. I hope this helps.

When the second layer is only recommended, I like to apply 1 layer to see how that performs in real world conditions. Now we know that 1 layer won't last that long. Also, to that, I would like to add that more and more people are tired of multi-layer coatings, and we see more companies releasing 1 layer systems, for glass and paint. So I would really like to see an updated formula with just 1 layer required.
