We use CarPro Forte... it is an improvement over FlyBy30 and can last up to 2 years on your windshield. Easy to apply.

I have also heard great things about Aquapel, though I haven't personally used it.

It withstood getting bombarded with bird droppings, many APC washes, months with being covered with salt and not being touched. Stuff is on a different level.

Give Opti-glass a try if you want to experiment more products. I used it on two daily drivers and it lasted 11-13 months on each car (of course you would need to do proper prep'ing for it to bond for long lasting durability though)

I used to use aquapel. Works great, lasts about a year or so and beads up well.
For now I'm just claying my glass every other month, but ina bit I may purchase more aquapel as it's been over a year and a half since my last aquapel application.

I simply use the spray sealant I use on the paint. If just rain, at 35 and up I don't need the wipers at all. Simple, cheap(as in not spending $ on another product just for the windshield).
