    I use Glass Science scrub cleaner and then the Rain Clear gel. Can last up to one month during the rainy months here in PH.

    I use RainX spray as well. I just spray and wipe every time I wash my car. Takes 2 minutes.

    I have Nano4Life and Glaco on my shelf, might try them out once the rainy season starts.

    Since I rarely see any comments on the Glaz line of Microtex:

    Tried the Microtex Glaz Stain Out and Stain Guard combo on my rear window. Water marks don't form as easily compared to non treated windows. 1 week after application I washed my car and that's when I noticed it had good hydrophobicity. Will take note moving forward how long this would last.

    Will try on my windshield next time. I am particularly interested if the combination will remove some stubborn watermarks.

    Does anybody else have any experience with this the Glaz line?

    I have an unused bottle of RainX at home that Im hesitant to use due to some negative comments I read from this forum of its use. Your reviews will be much appreciated.

    Am as well a user of Rain X, kakaaliw ang hydrophobic rain effect nya...literally if you're traveling more than 60kph you wouldn't be needing your wiper the rain beads just dribble up you windshield. I apply it every 3months...sa windshield lang...the rest of the Glass can last yun effect for about 6months. Well my ride naman is mostly garage queen for half of the month, kaya cguro it is lasting that much.

    I also tried Rain-X and not satisfied, the Elevo brand is much better, same ease to apply as the Rain-X but last longer.
    The best among the three is Glass Science, but its so tedious to apply, but the effect will last for months.
    I also noticed a lot of windshield watermarks weeks after I started using Rain-X.

    Glass Science Rain Clear gel is a good choice. I've been using it for more than 6 months and so far the only complaint I have for this product is that it can be tedious to apply it. Some careful effort is needed to evenly apply the gel on the window. Usually takes me at least 30 mins to apply the gel to all windows on a compact sedan.

    The hydrophobic properties from this product can last up to 2 months on a sunny weather season but during rainy season between 2 to 4 weeks only. A lot of dusts would stick on to the window after driving on a sunny day. A bit of water spots can become obvious but can be easily cleaned. Overall it's a good product, adds some protection to the window, can help prevent water spots and stains from building up.

    Sabi nung isang shop owner na nakausap ko who applies ceramic/glass coatings, he puts on 3 layers of coating sa windshield and he coats the wipers daw. Thinking if I should avail that service. Medyo pricey din for just the windshield at 3Kphp.

    Willing ako gumastos basta wipers shouldn't skip dapat at all kinds of wiper speed setting.

    Try Glass Science first and see if it would help prevent your car's wipers from skipping. So far it worked well for my 10yo Mazda3.

    I've tested the soft99 ultra glaco on onenof our vehicles. Its good. No skipping of wipers (so far) compared to when that vehicle had its windshield glass coated.

    I tried RainX, Elevo, and Microtex. For me, the best is Elevo but be wary of applying it. Our old car needed a paint job after I accidentally spilled a few drops on it. Since then, I've used Microtex since it is easier for me to apply it and no danger of spilling it on your car.
