View Full Version : #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 :xyxthumbs

Does it work better than AIO on windows?

I`m new here, obviously. Who make`s #16, I just feel dumbfounded seeing all the #xx here and not knowing what brand it is to look for.
thanks for the help

Meguiar`s. It`s their Professional paste wax.

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. :p 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. :)

:cool: info! I`ve been using VM on my windows, now I`ll add #16 to the equation.

Corey, have you done a side by side with Rain-X?
I did Rain-X vs. EX-P (polished with SSR1 first) and rain-x beads ran off much quicker and the Rain-X was not freshly applied.

I don`t have any Rain-X.
But EX-P isn`t the most well known protectant for beading. ;) Don`t get me wrong, it beads well (I do question its durability), but it doesn`t bead like #16. :)
