    I think the wipers won't skip right away, I tried RainX back then. It will take some time or I didn't do it right so I had a skipping wiper. Microtex so far is good for me without any skipping wipers, but Elevo is the best. Just be careful with body paint.

    And what makes you say that? ... have tried a lot of these type of products including rain-x ... even tried Aquapel (are you aware of this brand?) ... they all made wipers skip after a while ... once you start ... you will need to keep on reapplying ... your other option is to scrub the glass thoroughly to remove it ...

    This JetSeal product from The Chemical Guys seems a good product for keeping the windshield hydrophobic. They claim it can last for a year.

    Unfortunately JetSeal is out of stock from local reseller.

    This "Bye-Wiper" is good if it really makes your windshield impact resistant.

    I'm not sure how I can "try" it. I mean, the claim about impact resistant windshield. *Sarsi, perhaps you can give it a try to your newly replaced windshield.

    Collinite paste wax for a long term hydrophobic treatment for the windshield? I gotta try this:



    Glass Science Rain Clear Windshield Repellant Gel doesn't last more than 2 weeks after these recent monsoon rainy days, so I'm looking for better alternatives. Any recommendations (no RainX please)?

    We use the wiper when it pours...

    When it lightly drizzles.. wiper blades are not as lubricated hence stripping off glass treatments

    I just availed Technical Details glass detailing service. They used Gtechniq G1 ClearVision Smart Glass coating. Applying this coating is similar to CarPro's glass coating

    I'd like to try this with the older cars stored in the garage. Where can I buy it?

    The G1 coating costs ₱1000 from reflections car care. I could have done it myself but I don't have a budget for a DA polisher and the patience for removing those stubborn glass stains. The price tag from Technical Details is reasonable imho considering the effort on the detailing job prior to applying the coating.
