Which Zaino on glass?

Just bought the full Zaino setup (pretty much), but I'm wondering what I should use on the outside windows for the best beading / waterproofing. I used to use RainX which worked well..... for a few weeks until it ended off worse than w/o it. I didn't like the frequency of application so I'm looking to see if any of the new Zaino stuff would be a better sealant/protectant.



This is what I have:



ZAIO

Z5p

Z6

CS

Z8



Now which products would you recommend using on all the exterior glass? Obviously, optical clarity is important so I'm not going to use them ALL (like I would on my paint). Just wondering which 1-3 products would give the best result i.e. RainX effect + durability.
 
Z5, ZAIO and CS will give you the RainX effect BUT will wear off quickly if you live in a rain prone region. The friction of the wipers will eventually wear these products off.



ZAIO is great for glass protection with the plus of cleaning during application. A monthly application/cleansing the windshield with ZAIO should serve your needs. Of course, the frequency of application will again be dependent on wiper usage.
 
I have found that almost all of the Zaino products wear off glass too easily. I have since switched to a product called Rain Clear. It costs like $5 for a tube, and works much better than RainX IMO.
 
I noticed that when I first got my Zaino, and would apply it to my windows, I could sustain a fairly steady rain with no wipers on, but when I started using my wipers, it wore off within a few days. Now I prep the windows with Zaino glass polish, and it lasts much longer even with the use of wipers. I think most people that put it on thier windows neglect preping the windows properly.



On a side note, the wipers are much quieter now, I'm assuming it is because they are sliding across the slick surface now.



Give further prep a shot, and see if that works for you. I think you would benifit with a coat or two of Z5pro on them as opposed to any other Z sealant. That is just my experience though, you might have better results using another Z product on them.
 
I use any of the Zaino sealants. I think Z-2p and Z-CS works best for me. I'll have to try Z-AIO on my glass.



I do have Z-14 (abrasive glass cleaner) and topped it off with Z-CS, but the beading didn't last as long on my windows. I simply applied a coat of Z-2p again.



Z-14 is great stuff BUT, does not have any protection. Makes the clarity on the windows even better. I don't use it often, but it's usually for older windows.
 
Z14 followed by 2 coats of ZFX enabled Z5 Pro.





I did this over the windows and my glass is crystal. I'm waiting to see how she holds up, but on my G it beads to no end.
