I use Turtle Wax Seal & Shine on my glass. Raindrops start moviing up the windshield at about 25 mph, and the windshield keeps itself clear in light rain without any help from wipers at 30 MPH. In a medium rainstorm, I pulse the wipers every 1 to 2 minutes as needed. The Seal & Shine lasts a couple months for me, and the wipers move smooth and without any chattering when I do use them.

I'd be interested to see long term reviews on different glass sealants... I used Rain-X for a while until I heard about Aquapel. On my current vehicles I have 8 years, 3 years and 2 years on the initial Aquapel application and it still has excellent performance.
@platinumautoglasswindowtin884 жыл бұрын
cintocrunch long term reviews are hard to accurately test. All depends on how many wiper swipes you do. It's all about abrasion. Using wiper blades dry or with minimal water on them also affects life expectancy. I live in western Canada, Aquapel lasts about 3 months on average.

@@platinumautoglasswindowtin88 I see some people say it only lasts 3-6 months and others have experiences like mine. I live in MD and the longest application has lived all but a year or two outside 24/7. We get single digits up to triple digits, dry spells and wet spells. Maybe I've just been lucky or maybe they have revised the formula and it doesn't last as long now but I have NEVER reapplied Aquapel after the initial treatment.

Pat B speaking from experience may I suggest you stay away from any polymer based products(like streak & shine)on your windshield.

Especially noticeable at night with oncoming traffic. And yes, Chris from Carzilla is a great guy.

I know Gtechniq's advertised as a 2 year coating. I installed it on my truck. The amount of road salt throwed on the ground this winter didn't ever hurt it. I installed it in September. It also made it easier to scrape ice off the glass. you can get the glass polish and the smart vision for less than 40 bucks. If there is any similarities between this and Gtechniq's, than I wouldn't call it close. It would suck to have to reapply Rain X in the winter.

Hi Brain, I'm from Malaysia and just been following your channel early of this year. Hope you are fine and stay safe there. I have several question hope you could give me some advice and feedback 1. I am using Menzerna 400 heavy cut for compounding, should i use Medium cut for next process, or just straight to Menzerna 3800 gloss finishing? 2. What are your recommendation on Rupes DA pads, especially their coarse wool ? Good or there is much better pads that can go along with its DA machine 3. Do you have any tips and advice on how to bring up the gloss and clarity of White paints and light color?

Rimbunan Khazanah First off Brian has forgotten more than I know, so he will lead you in right direction! But I have Menzerna products. I find the 400 finishes out quite well for a compound, so can probably go to the final polish. But you best bet is to try a small section with the final polish. Check results if good then there you go, if not then go to the medium cut. The less clear you remove (with good results) the better If you look at Brian's videos you will see he really likes the Uro Fiber 50/50 pads I have found the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating is an easy gloss booster.
