Best glass coating?

[cobrar97]

Any thoughts on what the best glass coating is? The only one I`ve used is CQuartz FlyBy and it wasn`t overly easy to use. Wondering about Gyeon View, Polish Angel Rain, or any other. What`s the current winner?

I used the optimum a few weeks ago and it was incredibly easy, and the results are still fantastic.

I`ve used Gtechniq G1, 22PLE VG-1 and PBL. The 22PLE I`ve liked the best since the wipers never skipped -- a problem I witnessed late in the life of G1. THe PBL worked well, but only lasted about 6 or 7 months through the winter.

The only one I`ve used so far is the PBL glass coating and I`m happy with it lasting 6 plus months. It goes on easy after a quick polish and I didn`t have to use the windshield wipers much. Didn`t notice any wiper judder. The bottle goes a long way.

Oh I know! how about Rain- X! haha well that`s all I`ve used so far.

Pretty hard to beat optimum.

I haven`t dived into glass coatings really yet. I used the Nanoskin Rain I got free from a sale a while ago on the sides of my truck (didn`t get to the front or back that day since I ran out of time) but it hasn`t really rained much for me to tell.

I still use Rain-X for some things just because it`s cheap, fast, and works good enough. Mostly my mirrors... they`re big and when they get dirty I go insane. The Rain-X 2-in-1 helps with the little bit of water that gets on them and I wipe them often enough it seems to do alright.

The list of what I have used. PBL Glass Coating, Optimum Opti-Glass, CarPro Forte, CarPro FlyBy30


So far FlyBy30 & PBL Glass Coating are disappointing on windshield glass. They wear away to easy and are basically not any better than a regular glass sealant IMO. CarPro Forte was better than FlyBy30 but still not quite what I expected. So far the Optimum Opti-Glass is the best windshield coating I have used. All of these work fine on side and back glass.

I have been using optimum and been happy, It beats the G1/G2 I has used previously by a wide margin.

Still looking for better but so far have not seen or heard about better.

Products I have my eye on:

PA Rain system
Gyeon View
IGL Glass Coating
Nanolex Glass Coating
