    Wow, I`m still in the stone age. I`m still using RainX.

    I do use the side windows for "rubbing out" the excess AIO in pads before taking them off the machine.

    My experience is that Rain-X works it just doesn’t last very long. Another vote for Aquapel.

    Griots glass sealant performs well but durability was 3 months at best.

    From what i’ve read flyby30 is great and very hydrophobic but 3-6 months durability. Read flyby40 is not quit as good but 1-2 years durability.

    I went gtechniq g1.

    I took a good look at my coating last night, flyby30. I believe there is a drop in performance. Its close to 4mths now. When it warms up i will put another layer over it. Lots left.

    Its really hydrophobic thats for sure. Flashed very fast too. Very quick application. I won`t be trying anything else i don`t think, its relatively cheap and it works very well.

    I am sure it`s on par with McKees. I thought McKess was fantastic.

    Re: Windshield coating... What’s new/best?

    I sure i am not the right person but i have used the DP product. Just as hydrophobic as griots glass sealant if not more.

    Issue i had was longevity, lasted 2-3 months. I was expecting coating durability 6–1 yr.

    Feel it’s a great product just misnamed coating.

    Note: I live in Pacific Northwest. I used wipers alot more than others and it got rained on alot more so it may even affect higher grade true coatings..... you may see longer on DP

    Re: Windshield coating... What’s new/best?

    Guys flyby30 is really good and its cheap too. I clayed and quickly polished my windshield with the G15 polisher on speed 6, microfiber cutting pad and sonax cutmax.

    I don`t think i ever been in any car with the windshield this clear.
