It`s called NeverWet. I could see some experiments going on with this stuff!

If you`ve ever played with 303 fabric guard, its as powerful as that. Most intense beading I have ever seen.

Looks interesting. I`m currently using Glass Science Rain Clear Gel. It`s economical and I like how easily it spreads on the windshield. Overall a good product.

I thought everyone knew that Aquapel is 10000000000000x superior than rain-x. No need for alternative.

I like the durability of Aquapel, but IMO Rain-X does a better job of repelling rain. At 50mph+ it doesn`t matter much, but light drain and slow driving, Rain-X blows it away.

Indeed.
Aquapel with PIAA silicone blades is a pretty good combo, albeit expensive.
Ive reverted to Rain-X with Rain-X washer fluid. The booster fluid makes it very effective and "durable" while being very easy to maintain.
Or you can just use Rejex or other wax/sealant products on the windshield.
The Invisible Glass Windshield Fluid with Bug Splash and Rain Repellent isnt stacking up the Rain X 2 in 1 Fluid in my testing so far.

Is there a concern with clarity with it being silicone based and putting in on windows?
And it seems to act like Armor All wheel protectant at first.
I am interested in the details and availability.

Agreed Aquapel lasts far far longer then rainx. I`m lazy so I hate applying rainx all the time. Aquapel usually gets me about 6 months. With Rain-x I would have to apply that 6 to 12 times to get the same time span.

Poxy applied to the windshield has also given me good results so far this rainy season. I don`t know how long it will last compared to Rain Clear, but its been good so far.
