Nanolex glass sealant

[Martin]

So, I've been using RainX for some time
It's pretty good, but you have to apply it correctly
If there is existing product on the windscreen, you'll have issues

A few weeks ago I bought a Nanolex glass sealant (from our forum sponsor CarCareProducts)
I washed the windscreen as per normal and then went through the three stage Nanolex application process
Surface cleaner - happy to use this product as per previous experience, some products don't like each other
Then on to the polish, I was a little skeptical about this step, feels weird to polish glass but that's just me
Then the ultra sealant - easy to wipe on with a small cotton swab and leave it for 6 hours to cure

Didn't get any rain during the week to test it
Thursday a bird crapped on the windscreen, scrapped it off with a Justin Bieber CD to avoid damage to the wiper blades
Today, decided to blast two weeks of road film and grit off the car with the high pressure soap gun
It was amazing to see that the windscreen surface was waterproof,
it was very obvious that water would not sit or pool on the treated glass
The water ran off much more freely than normal - MUCH more effective than RainX
This is great for the rear window of a wagon which collects dust and grime which in turn ruins wiper blades
Get back in the car, use one single wipe of the blades to check and see how the blades pass over the treated glass
It was really good, no smearing or streaking at all, and no water residual

I'm sold on the product

1st. Why did you have a Bieber CD, Are you a 12 year old girl?

I have used nanolex sealant as well, water repellent is great. Only issue I had was that after awhile where the wipers finished their stock it left a line that was had to remove. Could have been and application error on my behalf, but was very annoying.

For scraping bird poo off the windscreen. What else would he use it for?

When he buys the Mk3 Octavia with the integrated ice scraper in the fuel flap he can throw away the Bieber CD

I stole it from a 12 year old girl who was passing by at the time,
In doing so I felt I'm made a positive impact on her life and personal development

(Seriously, it was not a Bieber CD, it was a CD I just used to flash a boot image into the RNS510)
