#16 on windows beats out anything else I have used...

When I applied #16 about a month and a half ago to my car, I decided to put it on the windows. Hey, it provides a clear finish on paint--it should on windows.

Well, it was one of my best ideas yet. It's still beads just like it is on the paint. The windows stay cleaner longer. The wipers work better (they're 10 months old now in need of replacement).

There was no streaking. There was no wear off where the wipers wipe. (this happened when I put Blackfire on my windows, heh). Actually, with BF II I got a line where they didn't wipe--didn't make me happy too much.

Anyway, I figured some of you may have tried this, but I just wanted to pass it along. Definitely

I read VM works on glass. Anyone have any results of using that?

When I used wax, I always waxed the windows too. I also currently use Mothers chrome polish, since it prevents finger prints and waterspots. Works like a charm.

I use #16 on windows too, they barely get wet even in pouring rain.

I don't know. But it does work better than VM. If I'm using VM again on my car, then i'm going to do both--as the VM will clean, and the #16 will last forever.
