Windshield coating... What’s new/best?

Coatings=crack said:
Griots glass sealant performs well but durability was 3 months at best.

From what i’ve read flyby30 is great and very hydrophobic but 3-6 months durability. Read flyby40 is not quit as good but 1-2 years durability.

I went gtechniq g1.

I took a good look at my coating last night, flyby30. I believe there is a drop in performance. Its close to 4mths now. When it warms up i will put another layer over it. Lots left.

Its really hydrophobic thats for sure. Flashed very fast too. Very quick application. I won`t be trying anything else i don`t think, its relatively cheap and it works very well.
 
I sure i am not the right person but i have used the DP product. Just as hydrophobic as griots glass sealant if not more.

Issue i had was longevity, lasted 2-3 months. I was expecting coating durability 6–1 yr.

Feel it’s a great product just misnamed coating.

Note: I live in Pacific Northwest. I used wipers alot more than others and it got rained on alot more so it may even affect higher grade true coatings..... you may see longer on DP

Guys flyby30 is really good and its cheap too. I clayed and quickly polished my windshield with the G15 polisher on speed 6, microfiber cutting pad and sonax cutmax.

I don`t think i ever been in any car with the windshield this clear.

I have used it on side and rear glass and it went on easy enough. The benefit to this one is reapplication is so simple. Essentially stack it over the previous layer after a mini prep if need be to save time. FlyByForte is just as easy to apply as FlyBy30.

I am sure it`s on par with McKees. I thought McKess was fantastic.

McKees has held up really well for me, now I guess the question is how long will the bottle last since you get so much compared to what is needed. Think my bottle is going on 2 years now. I`ve used Aquapel as well and had similar results, but the M37 one seems like it`s easier to use.

I`ve searched the topic of glass coating many times and I`ve seen that none of them stands up for everybody. Which makes me think how much does limiting wiper use contribute to the coating lasting. Usually I`m able to get away with only using wipers when the rain is a fine mist or when you`re just taking off from being parked and don`t have the advantage of speed to shed the water. I`ve done many multi hundred mile round trips on rainy days without ever flicking on the wipers.

Of course the windshield needs to be kept somewhat clean but I don`t think that`s a hinderance for anybody here.
 
Buy a water spot remover or Koch Chemie FSe and you`ll be amazed how much you can restore a glass coating... esp on the windscreen.
