I was cleaning a Lexus ES300, when I hosed the car off the front side windows sheeted right away while the back ones seemed to sheet normally. Is there a coating that comes on these windows from the factory?
 
Not to my knowledge, although maybe someone else here might know better...perhaps someone recently put a coat of rain-x on the windshield...
 
Maybe they roll the front windows down more than the back ones, which could lead to something being on the windows from the inside of the doors or something being "rubbed" off the windows by the weatherstripping. Just grabbing at straws....
 
Many people add those Rain-X type treatments these days. I would say it's that.
 
It's also possible that it's different glass. I know a lot of Toyota's (and yes, Lexus is a Toyota) use smoked or tinted glass for the back and rear windows. That could have something to do with it. Maybe the glass is even supplied by different suppliers.
 
This place amaze me with what knowledge we all have together...a real testament to forums like this and the power of the net.....Thanks Jay!
 
I figured I would check the lexus website. It says "Water-repellent front-door glass with UV reduction"

I am very impressed with the water-repellent they use.
