Hydro Silex Recharge or Hydro Silex Marine... be sure to wash the car and or windows with Hydro Silex Silica Soap. best combo ever... layer it fellas and gals. was at work and a co-worker came in ad said the rainstorm just stopped, why does your car look dry and everyone else's is wet.i will use Hydro until something better comes out.

hi so I tried nanolex ultra glass sealant and they didn't last that long which they advertised will last 18 month but didn't even last 1 month or 1 1/2 month. any glass sealant or coating that last long?

+1 on 845, it's my final step after a synthetic polish on the full vehicle, windshield included. I use a water repellent / glass treatment on all other windows / glass.

gtechniq g1, it's on its second winter now, total time on the car ~1.5 years and >50k km. All the glass is covered, there's no perceptible diminished beading/sheeting/etc. Not topped up with anything. Now to figure out why the left wiper, even when brand new, always streaks at the center line... I'll get to it one day

If the nanolex is a "glass coating" it really should last more than a month. From what I've seen thus far, ceramics tend to fail if applied inappropriately - weather conditions, cure time, etc.
