    I`m looking for something that I could wax my windows with like I do my paint. I just happened to find Window Wax. I have a couple of glass polishes. The 0000 steel wool with the DP glass polish works well for removing water spots. I`m looking for something to apply to the windows after polishing them.



    WINDOW WAX 24 oz from iKitchen.com

    How about the Klasse twins?



    Whatever you used I`d want something opically clear without yellowing.

    I always just use whatever wax/sealant I`m using on the car on the windows, except I stopped using wax on the windshield cuz that just doesn`t seem to work so well (sealants seem to do better on windshields). KAIO is good on water spots, and leaves the glass slick, and you can top with SG. A lot of members like Aquapel on their windshields/windows, I also have some limited experience with the AG Diamondite glass sealant or whatever they call it, which seemed to work pretty well from what I was told (used it on a friend`s car).

    LOL!! I typically will use whatever I am using on the paint as well....but...this one time (at band camp) my wife and I were on our way to Reno, during the winter, and I wanted to make sure all the snow and slush slid right off the windshield. Um.....yeah.....not so much. Once I got up to the snow I realized that, because of the cold, the wax hadn`t had a chance to bond....it mixed with the snow and made this wonderful paste all over my windshield....oops!!



    Since then I have stuck with Sealants as well.......:clap:

    Try some ONR QD, it has an amazing "waterproofing" effect on glass

    I use the diamondite shield - was doubting its claims at first but it really does "keep" the glass from getting really dirty.



    It`s a different water beading effect than rain-x. Rain-x would stick on your windshield in big globs, this one would just leave a light mist stick or just fall off.



    It`s not super obvious until you look through or clean other people`s glass...then it`s like wow, this one`s a winner.

    There is a great video on Youtube from a guy in a mini that taped his car over a period of like 100 days with Aquapel and it was amazing to see the beeding after 90 days..

    ....I typically don`t use anything myself other than simply keeping them clean on a regular basis. On my DD, I wipe down the windows several times during the week.

    It seems that using the wipers or washer fluid compromises the protection quickly.

    Ditto. I usually end up using one or the other on mine too.

    That`s why I`ve started using a little ONR with distilled water in my washer fluid tank. That or NXT, Duragloss or another one of my glass cleaners along with distilled water.
