    Polish Angel Rain 9H Rayview

    Sorry, but no pics.

    Just wanted to give my take on Polish Angel Rain 9H.

    Prep: I`ve been polishing my glass slowly but surely over the last few weeks using CarPro Ceriglass and Rayon pads on my Makita 9227c and was finally satisfied with the results on my windshield.





    After finishing the windshield with Ceriglass, I wiped it down with Optimum Paint Prep. I didn`t have any PA Cristal, but I wanted to make sure the glass was squeaky clean.

    Application: I tried using a standard yellow foam wax applicator pad and found application difficult. The yellow applicator was "grabby" on the freshly polished glass, so I switched to a CarPro Foam Block + Suede Towel applicator and application was a breeze. Polish Angel Rain is very thin and spread out easily. I imagine being able to coat about 8-10 windshields with a single bottle since the product is so thin. The instructions on the bottle recommend to wait 10 minutes before wiping off any residue. So I was able to apply it to the entire windshield, then go back inside to watch a few minutes of the Matrix between coats.



    Buffing off any residue was easy. I used a CarPro Suede towel again to avoid any linting. The bottle recommends waiting 30 minutes between coats, so I headed back inside for more Agent Smith shinanigans before applying a 2nd and ultimately 3rd coat of Polish Angel Rain.

    Results: Waiting the recommended 10 hours to perform beading testing was probably the most difficult part of the application process. This morning I was happy to see a combination of morning dew and rain from last nights shower on my windshield. I took off like I normally drive and was happy to notice the water begin to slide off my windshield at only 30 mph!! The beading wasn`t as pronounced as I expected, but the surface must be slicker and smoother since most glass coatings I`ve tested claim water repellency around 40 mph, and realistically don`t work very well until closer to 50 mph. I reached a top speed of about 50 mph on my way to work this morning and 95% of my windshield was water free.

    Conclusion: So far so good! Being able to coat about 10 windshields is great, but the performance and ease of application are the big pro`s so far. I remember application rain repellents back in the day that required a paper towel and an anterior, medial and posterior deltoid workout to apply successfully.



    I`ll get beading pics later today

    Thanks for reading!

    After Pics

    Here`s the untouched windshield from this morning. Yes I use an Incredible Hulk air freshener (it was a gift )



    Water was sprayer from a Griot`s Garage bottle.



    The water just slid off as I was spraying the windshield.



    As I sprayed, most of the water would just slide right off, but this gives you an idea of the beading.

    You just gave me a mini-heart attack! Those are actually streams of water from the sprayer. If you zoom in (I have higher res pics too) you`ll see they`re actually streams of water coming from the sprayer.

    really dig how you captured the before and after with the first couple of pics. I`ve been trying to photograph my glass to show the "damage" but my cameras tend to focus on stuff beyond the glass!

    Nice review.

    Re: Polish Angel Rain 9H Rayview

    Got any idea how this compares to Gtechniqs similar product? Sounds like the application is similar. I`m still using up my PBL glass coating right now.

    Another question. When you polished your windshield were you able to get some of the pitting out? Thanks.

    Not sure I`ve never tried GTechniq`s Glass Coating. I had PBL Glass Coating on my last ride and it was great. Especially being able to coat ~20 winshields with a single bottle.

    It made a huge improvement but I didn`t have any pitting. I don`t think it`ll take out pitting either. I just had windshield wiper marks and it looked like someone cleaned the glass with a Brillo pad.

    Here`s a before shot at night:



    Now it`s pretty much crystal clear and coated. If I lean at an angle and have light on the center of the windshield I can notice some of the old wiper marks, I should have polished the center of the windshield a bit more but it was difficult to reach and control with a full size rotary. That`s my excuse for buying a PE-14 anyways

    I`ll try and remember to take after pics at the same stop light.

    I understand. I continually point out to my wife how wonderful the water beads off of the windshield. To which she replies unenthusiastically "yeah". No respect, I get no respect!
