- Glass sealants for cars! Do rain repellents really work? Glass sealants are designed to improve wet weather driving visibility because they help to repel rain and reduce the adhesion of sleet and snow. They act like an invisible windshield wiper! In this video, I present different rain repellents for all budgets and give tips and tricks on how to properly apply them.

Hi @Pan The Organizer ! I really appreciated this video and the previous Glass Cleaning video. Can you do a video on the topic of Anti Fogging for the inside of the glass. Is it necessary or good for the car? How do you normally deal with fogging? Thank you!
Love your videos and your cheerful personality . As for windows sealant I use "RainX"
Pan ,can you use these window cleaning supplies on your lights as well ? For example if you have an off road vehicle with extra fog lights that get dirty off reading can you use these products to clean lights lenses ?
I Just applied Adams new glass ceramic coating- very easy after glass prep and works wonderful. 1 year claim on durability. One bottle can coat multiple cars and very reasonable cost.
I started using Rain X in 1977-1978 ish. Still applying
Wow I wasn't even born at that time! I didn't know RainX was out for so many decades.
I love glass sealants. I do it for free for all of my detailing customers for two reasons. 1. Super easy 2. It vastly improves the driving experience. I have been using Griott’s Garage Glass Sealant this winter. It hasn’t been horrible. I love seeing more options though Pan. You are epic.
Very smart move!! The small touches that make customers always come back to you. I like that!
Also makes the returning customer's glass easier to clean the next time.😉
What glass sealant do you prefer?
@@davea5150 depends on which type of detail. Normal details I really dig Griot’s Garage’s Glass Sealant.
I really like the Griot's Garage glass sealant too. I also use the ceramic glass cleaner from them to enhance it every time I clean the glass.
To me it seems like the mid tier is the option when you factor in the maintenance in the 3 year pro versions. If you gotta top it off every three months tome it’s tough to consider it a long term product
That was only glassperency, I believe all the other should last 1-2 years with out topping off. Kinda makes you wonder why glassperency does that when their competitors don’t need to and also sell to the public.
I’ve been using RainX for 20 years. I first used it in the 1990’s when I was starting my career as a truck driver
The problem with Rainey is that it discolors any invisible bra that you have or Diamond Shield on your motorcoach.
Perfect timing. While I have never used a rain repellant, I plan on washing my cars today. I will give it a try.
Make sure you prep your glass properly. Always a key to long term performance and durability. Same thing goes for the paint before applying a paint protectant.
Hi Pan.
The best glass coating I’ve used is Vision Protect by Nanovations USA. Easy to apply, 20 minute drive away time and the best longevity in all the glass coatings I’ve tested in my glass shop that I own here in Western Canada. No matter what glass coating you use it is absolutely imperative to properly polish and clean the glass. Glass is more porous than you think so cleaning and polishing is important. Best polish I tried is Ceriglass. For me, the 3” polish pad on a short throw da is easier to use.
Just my 2 bits from experience in doing auto glass since 1988 and coating glass for 7 years.
the CarPro rayon pad? Thanks.
I have used Rain-X since the 80's. Was a game changer back in the day. I have just used Turtle wax flex wax/graphite on an entire vehicle including the glass. Talk about easy to apply!!! Love it. I'm in Michigan, similar weather to yours, durability has been good. Hydrophobics are good as well. Got about two months of use just did a re-apply (this time was a spray and rinse) Brought it right back to awesomeness! 😁
What’s interesting is that you mentioned how RainX will only last you a few weeks, but in my active experience, the RainX degrades overtime, but will repel effectively fairly well into the 3-5 month period.
Southern US had recently experienced heavy rain produced from hurricane Beryl recently, and the rain was so heavy that pretty much every car on the road dropped their speed from 65mph down to 45 and windshield wipers were on max.
I still had RainX still on my car and haven’t applied a fresh coat in 6 months.
Even with the downpour, not once did I use my windshield wipers going 55 mph. My wipers were turned off the whole time.
So even if you can’t afford the expensive repellent, literally any repellent will work wonders.
Great video. I have been using aquapel for years now. I love the durability of it. Also the ceriglass worked great for making my showerglass look brand new again.
Thanks!
Hi Pam: very well informed video about the different glass repellent options. Thanks for sharing this to help understand how these types of glass repellency works. I’ve been using the original Rain-X windshield repellent since it was introduced back in the 80’s. I know technology has come a long way and longer lasting repellent. Rain-X usually lasts about 2-3 weeks . What I do to keep it maintained is to clean my windshield and apply only one coating of Rain-X every 2 to 3 weeks. This is very cost effective for me. In all do respect, the other types of windshield repellents are great options, but I prefer doing it economically. I have no problems doing this every couple of weeks. Been doing this since the 80’s
I started with Rain-X when it was introduced in Europe, but at some point renewing it ever few weeks gets tedious. I then came across Nigrin who offered long term variants, and eventually I stumbled across Soft99 who formulated this on request for the Japanese airline industry, and I've been using that ever since. I re-apply the coat every 9 month or so, and it has zero problems with jet cleaning and automated car washes. Wonderful stuff.
Once again another great video Pan, you definitely have your pulse on what video is needed in the detailing space. Timing is impeccable.
Thanks JB!
I bought a used piece of glass from a salvage yard. It was covered with a stubborn residue . In desperation I used ceramic cook top polish on my polisher and it came out perfect in minutes. I've used it to prep two other vehicles with outstanding results.
Great video! Thanks! When I had my car ceramic coated they used Opti-glass on all the glass surfaces and so far I love it!
Thanks Jonathan!
I've been using the Griots glass sealant and it has been great, it last about 4-6 months on the cars I've applied it to, customers have been loving the difference when it rains. I look forward to using the Quick View and Aquapel!
Yeah the Griot’s is another good glass sealant! Thanks for sharing
Had mine done with Gtechniq G1 nearly 3 years ago now, it is still repelling quite well, but since changing blades they seem to judder a little sometimes, I think the old blades were coated with the product too. What I do to maintain is clean well with glass cleaner and top up using an SI spray such as Gyeon wetcoat or carpro Hydo2lite.
I been liking griots garage glass sealer. I like how it makes the glass shiny and it helps get the rain off the glass
I have just started using Soft99 Glaco glass compound for prep followed by their Ultra Glaco sealant and also tried their Glaco mirror coat zero, very impressed with the products so far, they come in easy to apply "shoe shine" application bottles with felt pad, they buff off easily and with the mirror coat is a spray and walk away, at the price point I would say these are really good!
Rain-X is a winner for me. Been using it ever since I owned cars. Love it and preformance is the best. Living in Fla, then. I've been in Tx. 35yrs now. Both states it rains alot and is very hard and long raining.
I typically use Rain-X, but the last time I put Seal and Shine on my truck I went ahead and did the windshield with it as well. To me, it worked at least as good as Rain-X but maybe didn’t last quite as long. Bugs and road gunk came off easily, too. I may try one of the mid tier products next time. Four months between applications makes it worth the extra $$.
Excellent video as always. I use the Aquapel for the sealant and use RainX with glass cleaner to routinely clean the windshield. Works great!
Good picks!
I love this video! I use Glassparency on all my cars glass. Having the ability to see clearly in rain and snow while everyone else has their windshield wipers on full blast gives me ultimate satisfaction! It feels like I’ve unlocked a cheat code in life. Bottom line glassparency works! Appreciate the videos Pan!
Thanks Anna! I appreciate the feedback!
Which one of their products is it that you are using?
Cleaning the glass is probably one of my favorite things to do when detailing my car! It’s like the icing on a cake 🍰 Nothing better than driving on a rainy day and not having to use you wipers. Great video! Very informative as usual my friend. Keep up the good work 👏✨💦
Thanks Danny! And I agree with you. Having crystal clear glass is icing on the cake!
I’m spoiled with having my car completely coated top to bottom. Then i had to drive my moms car while mines getting repaired and she has none and seeing on a rainy day was horrible. I may just do rain x as she works from home and the 3 weeks might actually last 3months. Unless is just degrades that badly no matter what.
I have been using the armor all ceramic glass coating in a aerosol can, I have been really impressed, 3 months strong on my truck that sits outside, and 4.5 on my car that is in a garage 1/2 the time.
I’ve used RainX, which works well for several months. Even a year later, it still has a noticeable effect. I use InvisiGlass clearner first.
I have tried pretty much all of the products that you are going over and they ALL work well. The primary difference is how long it last. Until you get to the professional grade, the others just do not last very long, so it becomes how often you want to apply it. Great video as always.
Thanks Shon!
Great video 📹. I jumped on the PTO offer last year and bought the glalssparency kit for a suv x2. Its still is working amazing. The windshield I boost with Griots garage windshield sealer. I plan to strip my windshield this summer and use the second kit.
Thanks Tom! Yeah that GlassParency was a great opportunity promo for my audience!
G’day Pan, I used NV Glass on two complete cars including sunroofs. It’s been on for about 14 months now and still performs very well. I am in Aus so conditions not as extreme as Canada. Really easy to apply and only needs one coat so lots of time saved during application.
Thanks for sharing your real world experience Mark!
So far in my limited experience aquapel has been the best for me but I've noticed the quality changing over time meaning that it was lasting less than the 6 to 8 months it used to. But Pan TX again for making me spend more one new products... Can't want to try the better ones it makes a world of difference on my long commutes on the highway. Keep up the amazing work Pan!
Thanks Alain! I hope you’re doing well!
Pan, I can’t stop watching all your videos. I love using Aquapel and can sometimes find it for cheap! Thank you for this post.
Glad you like them!
I've been using Aquapel on my windows for the last few years and I've been impressed by the way it makes driving in the Heavy Oregon Rain much better.
Thanks for sharing Phil. Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on CZcams as we surpassed 820,000 subscribers and 100 million views! I have been detailing for 25 years and I love to share my knowledge and passion with my viewers.
You found the right channel to help you learn everything about detailing.
How did you discover my channel by the way?
@@PanTheOrganizer I was researching "detailing cars" & what car polisher to buy and came across your channel.
THE 2 THAT I’VE USED ON MY GLASS WAS AQUAPEL & AVALONKING ARMOUR SHIELD IX. I’VE TRIED THESE BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THIS CHANNEL. I STARTED OUT WITH AQUAPEL & IT DID AN AMAZING JOB OF REPELLING RAIN OFF OF MY WINDSHIELD, BUT I WANTED MORE DURABILITY FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME SO THEN I TRIED THE AVALONKING. IT WORKS A LOT BETTER. TOP MARKS PAN ON ANOTHER IN DEPTH VIDEO ON HOW TO PROTECT YOUR CAR GLASS👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🔥🔥🔥👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎯🎯🎯
😁👍🏻
Great video as per usual from Pan!!! I have had great success with Aquapel over the years, in fact I can’t drive without it! I get a good solid six months per application.
Thanks Jim! That’s the durability I was getting from Aquapel too. 👍🏻
It is a pleasure to watch your videos Pan. So educacional, clear and straight to the point. In my case I prepared my windshields with meguiars glass compound by hand. I use Glaco Ultra as sealant with double layer at front. For regular cleaning I use fukupika gel and every two cleanings Glaco de cleaner for cleaning and maintenance of the sealant. (Soft99 has awesome products)
Big hug from Chile Pan!!!
Gracias Enrique! Cheers from Montreal!
I've been using the Titan Hybrid Detailer. Works really well. It's 4 months now and it's still working even through snow, salt, rain and whatnot.
Yeah Titan is super slick on paint! Really like it!
Thanks for the video Pan, was a 10+ yrs user of Rain-X (Costco dual packs), but last few years have been using AM Rain (AM Details) or Infinity Wax (IW) Diamond Vision to protect external glass for several months at a time on my daily driver (use Angelwax H2GO on neighbours car) -- also use Stoner/AM Glass/IW Spotless or Gyeon Glass to clean. I use AM Clay to do any deep clean of glass.
Thanks for the info!
I have always used a buffer with regular car wax with two applications twice a year. The added bonus of frost free glass for a few weeks after application for northern climate residents.
Stellar job Pan! I've coated all the glass surfaces of my car with Gyeon Quick View and I've been very happy with the product, awesome water repellency! Cannot wait to ceramic coat my car when spring arrives!
Thanks Konsta! What ceramic coating will you be applying on your car?
@@PanTheOrganizer I bought Gyeon One EVO. I wanted to start off with a easy to apply ceramic coating since I have never applied a ceramic coating before and Gyeon One EVO fitted the bill.
hi pan love the vid as always, I'm a Rain X man, as you say prep is the key, I use the rain X rain repellent from the pour bottle this is applied to the glass and left for approx 15-20 minutes then leveled using a damp micro fibre (distilled water) , wiper blades cleaned and coated the same, washer bottle drained and filled with rainX washer additive, the spray bottle as stated on bottle is as a two in one glass cleaner and repellent, so this is used to glean glass and as a topper to the coating already applied. and just to let you know if you didn't they now have their own ceramic glass coating,
all the very best to you 👍
That’s right! 👍🏻
A great lineup of products Pan. I am a big fan of the Polish Angel brand, so I use their Rain 9H coating for my windows and their Diver as a window cleaner/maintenance product. Offers great protection and ease of application is very simple.
Thanks for sharing!
I’ve used rain x glass repellent and cleaner for years. Does a nice job.
It's always nice when you get a new layer of protection on your windshield, and you get to see everything fly off it. Technician choice 582 is a pretty good all around ceramic spray.
Yes it's nice to see the water just fly off!!
I only just detailed the outside with cleaner, clay and wax / rain x. This is good to know for the next exterior glass detail! Thanks @pan!
Glad it was helpful!
Prior to detailing many vehicles I start with Cleaning the windshield with soapy warm water and 4XXXX ultra fine steel wool and rinse. Next I use dual action polisher with 3m compound. Wash again and use warm water and Mr.Clean pad and wiper clean with waffle cloth. Apply several coating of aquapel. I also wipe clean the wiper blades just using reguar windshield washer fluid. Glass looks great and wipers wipe clean for months
Thanks for sharing!
I’m a detailer, I’ve used loads and my fave is Gtechniq G1.
Carbon collective clarity glass cleaner is pretty good too, quick, easy and works
Thanks for sharing! Always nice to have pro detailers share their experience. What are some glass sealants that you absolutely hate?
Thanx for the video Pan, i,m using Meguiars glass sealent and i,m pretyy happy about it. it last about 3 months here in the Netherlands on the windshield.
Thanks Pat! Cheers from Montreal!
Great informative video, learned something new when it comes to detailing my glass and sealing it.
Thanks for the positive feedback! How did you discover my channel by the way?
Thanks Pan, I am planning on getting my windshields done as soon as it warms up a little here in CT. I already have the ceriglass on hand and was trying to decide what coating to put on. So this video is right on time and will help me make up my mind.
Glad I could help!! What are you leaning towards?
@@PanTheOrganizer I am torn right now, but since I own three vehicles I am thinking I will get a few different products. I want to try Quick View on my wife's car. Simply because it stays in the garage and doesn't get driven much so I think it would be fine. I am leaning towards Car Pro Fly by for my car as we use that as our daily driver. And I am leaning towards G1 for my truck which sits outside and I think needs a good strong product. I have had really great luck with other GTechniq products. Sorry for the long response but that is my thinking at the moment.
The Armor All Extreme Shield + Ceramic Glass treatment & cleaner. It’s pretty impressive. I live in a hot and dusty area and commute the the coast for work - it’s still going strong after 3 weeks after application. Hydrophobic properties are still very good.
I have only used the Adams glass sealant and have had good results with it. Can not wait to try the new ones you mentioned
The Adam's is very good too, so is Griot's Garage glass sealant.
Very impressive video pan!!! I have used most of the mid level coatings with much success although at the expense of some durability. Appreciate the detailing of these products. 👍🇨🇦
Thanks! What's your personal favourite glass sealant and how long has it lasted in your conditions?
@@PanTheOrganizer So for myself I have used griots glass sealant and aquapel, both lasting approximately 6 months. However I'm a huge fan of gtechniq products. There products always straight up work. Gonna pick up some of the c2 shortly. 🙂 🇨🇦
Pan , thanks for the update on the subject of glass coatings. I used glassparency on my truck when you had the give away and it performed well. I tried the new version on Fly by Forte a couple months ago on my girls friends car. So far very pleased with it.
Good to know! How long did the GlassParency last for you in your conditions? And did you do the maintenance every 3 months?
I did the maintenance at 6 months because i could only get 1 kit. It is still hanging in but starting to fade. Great product but since it requires a dealer to apply i will probably go with one of the pro grade products you mentioned in this video. The new version of fly by forte is really performing well. The car sits outside most of time. Nothing seems to stick to the windshield after 2 months. I think they claim 2 years durability so we will see.
i tried Aquapel and it's great though i haven't experienced harsh winter in Ireland. it maybe 6mos above since i applied it, but i'm topping it off with a Turtle wax graphene flex. looking forward to try the Carpro glass sealant soon.
Thanks Pan,🖒 another one knocked out of the park .your videos are great 👏👏👏
Thanks Bill! Have a great weekend too!
One of the best I've ever used in terms of ease of application and duration is Angelwax H2Go. Amazing product.
Me too buddy. Fantastic product 👍
Yes that's a good one too!! Angelwax makes great products.
Try ceramic pro it’s my total favourite lasts soooo long
Ive been using the chem guys hydro view and I love it. the rain just shot right off the windshield.
My go-to glass repellent is RainX. My truck is garaged but does come out to play. With that said, it lasts 6+ months.
Thanks for the rundown. As a first timer with all the prep and newer products this was extremely helpful!

Hi Pan I always enjoy your channel. I’ve just started using the hydro view ceramic glass sealant by chemical guys. I find it makes the glass crystal clear and shiny and clean. I’m just not sure yet about durability because I’ve just discovered this product about two weeks ago. But as time moves on, I will be happy to update you on the durability of it. Thank you so much and keep up your awesome channel.
Chemical Guys make average products in my opinion. If you ever want the best glass coating, that can last up to a year, and is super simple to apply, I would recommend Soft99 Ultra Glaco, which I tested in this video here: czcams.com/video/usdM-TrT7fg/video.html
I recently used Yvan's mix of 1 part acetone to 2 parts Original Windex (with ammonia) to prep a wiindshield. The stuff is awesome.
Thank you Pan! I need to try some of the up level things for sure!
Thanks!!
Pan give shows us the high end style and budget friendly style. Thx 🙏 great tutorial
Budget friendly: RainX. High end: GlassParency or any glass coating from a pro brand like CarPro FlyBy or Gtechniq G5.
Pan I just been using Rain x of course I do all the proper prep techniques like you were talking about I actually get about four months of Rain x properties out here in California and my parents that are retired and their car just sit in the garage take it up to a year!
👍🏻
I bought a new Ford F-150 that came with a dealer installed ceramic sealant on the windshield. It was horrible - at least here in sunny Florida. It made looking through the brand new windshield look like it was sandblasted, with a sort of prismatic effect in direct sunlight. I struggled to completely remove it, and am now using plain old Rain-X. Yes, it requires frequent reapplication, but no more annoying prismatic effect in direct sunlight, and excellent performance in torrential tropical rain.
Great tutorial video as always 👍🏼
Thanks Pan
Thanks Alan!
I applied Gtechniq G1 kit on my van windscreen 12,000 miles ago .
I use rain.x washer fluid ..
Perfect combination 👌
Thanks for sharing!
Great video. I always just use whatever coating Im using on the rest of my vehicle. So I'll use a graphene for ceramic spray detailer on my windshield after washing...seems to work pretty good and lasts a decent amount of time. Havent tried a glass specific coating on my windows yet. Considered Aquapel. Thanks!
Thanks!
PAN!!!! The organizer
Indeed you’re the organizer himself. The mood of your explanations and how you brake down every topic and stuff I so much love it. I won’t be surprised if I see you lecturing in a campus.
I’ve washed this episode countless time and I’ve decides to ask for one favor, and that is “your contact “ if I can get it I’ll be very happy. Once again thanks for the video.
Thanks Kenny! Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on CZcams as we surpassed 760,000 subscribers and are getting close to 100 million views! I have been detailing for 25 years and I love to share my knowledge and passion with my viewers.

I focus on replying to CZcams comments as you see here. ;)
How did you discover my channel by the way?
Rain X was the first product of this kind that got Me hooked. I've tried Gyeon...not quite 4-6 months worth of durability. Two cars received applications of Gyeon that went on to cars that are daily driven,not garaged. I have Aquapel...simply didn't use it yet. I also like Griot's glass salant.
The rest of these products look quite good. Thank You for this video. I hope You are having a nice weekend.
Thanks for sharing your real world experience!
@@PanTheOrganizer You're very welcome 😃
Excellent review of the process and products. My suggestion to friends is Griot's Garage Glass Sealant based upon the $10 for 8-oz that works longer than Rain-X and easy to use. That one bottle will last many vehicles (for exterior glass only). Aquapel is good but for one vehicle. I am running the top coatings and they are pricey but do last longer 12+ months. Key to any product's performance is keeping the glass clean, especially after running along our highways and streets. If you see grime where the wipers did not clean, then that hidden traffic film will block the coatings! If it stops working just clean the glass again with your favorite cleaner. For coated glass CarPro Clarify takes top honors for keeping them lasting their best.
Thanks for sharing!
I always treat the glass on all of my vehicles. I drove home from a weekend trip to Pennsylvania in a rainstorm and didn't use the wipers at all unless we were stopped!
Absolutely!!
Started off with RainX, then I used what I had left with my Turtle Wax ceramic detail spray. I'm debating on the Itekt glass treatment next.
That was a great tutorial Pan, really appreciated that, I first started using rain X (beleive it or not) in about 1991! Trouble is, as you say that these are largely inefective below about 30mph and the trouble with Rain X, good as it is was back at that time, is that using the wipers for safety at low speed quite quickly simply "wiped" the rain X off along with the rain. Good to hear there are much more robust products now, have bought on your advice the Gtechniq G1 to try, well after all I am in the UK so that should make sense!
Glad it helped! How did you discover my channel by the way Philip?

By the way, my current favourite DIY glass coating is this: bit.ly/3SNrI59
You can even get it in a kit with the glass prep compound, and the maintenance spray here: bit.ly/40HAovS
For water spots on glass I've been using a product called A-Maz since 1999. It's a paste type material that does a fantastic job on water spots.
I put Gtechniq on my daily driver, first time ever using a glass coating.
Now when I test drive a customers car in the rain I’m amazed that people don’t immediately or constantly crash whenever it rains because the difference in visibility between a coated and uncoated windshield is astonishing.
When spring rolls around, I’m going to put in on all my cars, because in my brain, having a coated windshield is a now a safety issue.
There you go! Yeah once you experience a proper quality glass treatment, you can't live without them!
Have a great weekend!
Seems like from researching & watching this video the Nova NV Glass Coating is a very good one to go with! The windshield whipper stutter with the others would get really annoying after awhile but that’s cool Nova thought of that!
Good choice! The Wolf's nano glass coating is also an excellent choice.
Griott’s Garage Glass Sealant is my favorite and saves my wipers!!!!
Lot’s of good information in your videos. Do you plan on doing a detailing video on what to do when spring comes around.
Keep em coming
Thanks! Yes I plan on making a spring refresher video, but note that I already have a few popular ones on that topic already. Here:

I use fusso ultra glaco. Living in the UK so it's always raining as well, Easily last 12 months and it cost just as much or less than Rain X in some stores.
For people in UK just buy it from Eurocarparts. £11.99 usually :)
Dura-Coating’s Glass X was thrown in as a bonus with an order, so I was shocked when it was as good as it is. Super basic application and I’ve had it on since last summer with no noticeable deterioration even with pretty nasty winter conditions in NY.
Never tried that. Thanks for sharing!
I use the Soft99 Glaco Roll On 😉 It’s easy to apply and I’m very happy about it 😊
Another good glass sealant for sure!
I just got the rain-x PRO cerami-x glass cleaner + water repellent from walmart for like $10. It says it lasts up to 6 weeks. Going to test it out this summer and see how it does. Something cheap and easy. Definitely going to step it up next time i buy some. Probably the nova series for sure and get that 16-24month durability!
Thanks for sharing
Good morning, Pan!
I just enjoyed another GREAT weekly video with Pan & Coffee.
I’ve always used Rain X but last week I applied Griots Glass Sealant for the first time but haven’t driven yet so I’m curious to see how it does.
Also, do you have a specific contact to ask you questions, advice, or submit ideas for future videos or just on CZcams?
Thanks for ALL you do and have a great weekend!!!!
GO Bengals 🏈
I can't wait to watch the Super Bowl too! And given I like Hip Hop, the half time show will be epic too! :)
For questions or future video ideas, drop them here in the comments. :)
Thanks mate for all your videos. Awesome content.
Glad you like them! How did you discover my channel Branislav?
@@PanTheOrganizer i searched for windscreen polishing and car paint ceramic coating and you were very up in the results with ammo nyc. Now i'm already subbed, all i'll ever need can be found in your previous videos, so thanks for that too.
impressiv good like always Pan. i like to use SOFT 99 Glass compound roll on. it is working well in my place in West of Germany.
I used soft99 glaco and it did ok.... I also tried to put can coat on the glass and got impressed with the performance of a product the was not originally design for that, did really good and easy to apply
Thanks for watching!
I’ve been using Griots Garage glass sealant. Works amazing and last long.
That's another good one!
I have just applied Angelwax H2GO to my new car windows. Excellent beading and water repellancy so far. It rains alot in England.
Thanks for sharing your experience Andy.
I love using the rainx formulation that's simply added to the washer fluid. It's always there when needed. Every time you spray your windshield with the washer fluid, it's topped up.
How did you discover my channel Cal?
@@PanTheOrganizer I can't recall now. It's been a while ago, sorry.
Toujours aussi interessant merci pour les conseils on va mettre ca en pratique
Merci! J'espère que tu avais vu la version française de ma vidéo? Voici: czcams.com/video/HdEFZ7WMRSA/video.html
Excellent video! I'm from Montreal too and dirty windshields are a pet peeve of mine! I'll definitely be looking into a medium level application very soon especially after watching your video!
Efkaristo re Peter! I'm assuming you're Greek? I'm half Greek! :) My dad was born in Greece. I was born in Montreal. :)
@@PanTheOrganizer Ella! Yes I'm from Laval haha! What a coincidence! Born and raised here and full Greek😂
A few months ago I did my windshield with the Glassparency coating (followed the link from your video). It’s usually garaged, but I parked in the driveway last night and it rained. When I went out this morning I was startled. The hood and body had LOTS of water beads, as did the side and rear windows. The windshield was almost dry … no beads or water.
That is awesome!
Pan, I live in the uk(Wales). Very wet most of the year, about 18months ago I applied Gtechniq's G1/G2, easy application and what a Great product!, Not too Dis Rain-X, but 10times better, hardly us wipers and even my son videos it as he laughs & thinks of Star Wars warp speed, rain repellents Are well worth the time, prep and money... Keep up with the Great videos 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Kevin!
Pan good job with the video.
I have a future video idea, a durability test of rain repellent products, it would be awesome.
Good idea! But it would be hard to do without having a large piece of glass available that I could put somewhere... I don't want to become a hoarder haha.
I put on Adams Ceramic Graphene and Glassparency coating on my windows but I have not done a major cleaning since fall. I’m waiting for the winter months to pass before doing a serious cleaning.
Very pleased with Aquapel
Good pick!
On a highline car I might consider one of the mid or upper level sealants, but after using TW Graphine Flex Wax on the paint and the glass at the same, it's more convenient than doing a separate application just for the glass, and it still lasts months.
Very versatile and practical for sure! 👍🏻
Helpful video! Thanks muchly
Glad it was helpful!
I love the Polish Angel Diver. It cleans and gives protection. Some of these products give more protection if your looking for that. Good video with great advice.
Thanks Ty! How did you discover my channel?
@@PanTheOrganizer I am a big fan of polish angel and Gyeon products. I found your channel researching some gyeon products. You recommended Gyeon wet coat for wheels. Keep it tight. Lol.
