    I apply Klasse AIO to all windows Exept the Windshield. I tried applying S100 to the side windows once but it would get gummed up in between the window and door molding alot and left a naysty film. Use RainX for the front windshield it works great and I always add 2 coats and it beads like crazy in the rain. Klasse AIO beads nicley on the side windows also in the rain and lasts longer then rainX.

    Neither can I but after you buff it off real nice it seems to go away I end up missing spots I wish it was like wax where you can actually see what you are applying and buffing away.

    Thumbs up

    The best product I found for glass and you get multiple uses out of is Auto Magic #70. It was developed for people that live In Hawaii due to the volcanic ash in the air, air borne pollution was always a problem on windows. Works perfect also on Chrome, and in door jams. A GREAT PRODUCT, GARY

    I use ...

    Windshiled: RainX (Tass .... you should be able to get this!)

    How I apply: When I wash a car, rinse the car and then before washing any spots, wash the windshield, dry the windshield, apply RainX. Then while the RainX sets up, I clean the wheels and tires. Once the wires are cleaned, the RainX should be dry, poceed to wash entire vehicle including window, no buffing, gets the RAinX off no problem.

    Rest of Windows: Klass AIO followed by UPP

    I`ve used Zaino`s Z2 before on exterior windows before, and it works great. Windows look super, and the water just flows off the windshield in a rainstorm. I`ve never seen any ill affects.

    I`ve also used a product called Adam`s Brilliance. It`s a type of polymer glaze. It also works well, but doesn`t last as long as the Z2.

    On the other hand, I wouldn`t recommend putting a carnauba product on the windshield............ although, it might work.

    Wax on Windows

    Tass,

    I have not had any problem with film or residual hazing on windows, but I do only put on the sidew windows, jjusssttt iiinn cccaaassseee ....!

    I also do not use Carnuba based waxes on the windows, only sealants, and for the most part, only UPP.
