    (took from my iphone and resized with iphone)
    So I grabbed some Aquartz from Troy @ Autoobsessed.com for window sealing and I have so far applied it on my rear wind shield and side mirrors so far (the instructions sound too serious to try more places for the first time) I also have cquartz coming from richy's GB which i will also compare later on.

    These are all 1 layer applications of aquartz last friday

    as you can see, water beaded like mad in Vancouver's rain today and i never once had to use my rear windshield wipers on my GLK!

    my side mirrors, can't really say that water gets there often but again it had water then it came off while i was driving easily

    I also went ahead and applied some Menz Powerlock on all my side windows and as you can see in the picture below, it worked out pretty well, the only thing that seems to a problem is that the rubber at the bottom of the window seems to be dirty thus leaving streak of dirtyness when i open the window lol (this was applied on Sunday)

    Anyhow i will try the wiperless wind shield when I have time and something to reach my whole windshield (my fitness is too damn low, and i'm too damn short!)

    sorry i cant see any pictures. anyone else able to see them?

    so the powerlock on the windows works great? did you clay bar them or anything before applying? i need to try this out.

    sorry I was re-uploading photos so that they're smaller. My car is fairly new and I clayed em after I got it from the dealership so when I applied it, I only used Invisible Shield to wipe em clean then machine applied Powerlock to ensure its thin.
    But yeah overall, i'm happy with its finishing on the windows, no stickyness and such. Water just slides off :D

    Yes...I do the same. Just different products. I use PL on all the windows and Adams Sealant on the Front. Makes driving in the rain a piece of cake.
