    who here waxes their windshield or windows? What im worried about is somehow getting wiper chatter from waxing the window.

    thought id see if most of the other forum members wax their windows

    Do not use wax on your windshield. There are products like Rain Science, DG Rain Repel etc that are made for windshields. Some guys have used Opti Seal and Werkstat products with success as well.

    Dont use wax use a sealant if you are going to use anything. I have used Opti-Seal and had good results but recently tried Rejax and really like it as well and seems to last a bit longer. Main thing is to keep the glass clean use a glass polish (1z Glas Polish, AG Glass Polish) to get rid of all the junk on glass that makes it hard for water be removed cleanly by wiper blades then apply a good glass or paint sealant.

    It is billed as a nuba wax but I see it as a hybrid. What sealants do you have in your collection?

    i dont really have any true sealants. I do have some zaino clear seal, but thats about it. I guess i have some nxt 2.0, but idk if you consider that a sealant

    I've been using Klasse All-In-One on my exterior glass for at least 5 years now.

    Here's what I like about it:
    1. Doesn't streak
    2. Keeps glass clean
    3. Lasts longer than any product I have tried that's made for glass
    4. Gives a great look to tinted glass

    I recently applied FMJ to my windows and I like the results so far.

    Klasse AIO is what I use on windows, or Zaino AIO.

    Clear Seal will work, as it is similar to Opti-Seal.

    I vote for this too. Klasse AIO works wonders on glass.

    I've used Duragloss 501 followed with 105, then top with Aquawax. I've had good results with that. I have a full litre of KAIO though, so maybe I should try that.

    Another vote for Klasse AIO and I've found Optimum Poli-Seal to work well also.

    I've done DG105 on windows once before. I left it on waaaayyy too long though and it was a nightmare to get it all off. Other than that it worked pretty well.

    i just got some samples from einszett, and one of them was a sample bottle of polishwax. would this work on my windows, or would i be better off sticking with my clear seal?
