I've tried most of them, and this stuff is the most durable by far, and one of the easiest to use.

The Carlack is okay, but it drops off a bit after 3 months or so.

The Xtravue lasts 12 months, EASILY

I'd be worried I'd return to my parked car to find a couple of chavs licking the windscreen.

Having recently spent some time applying Carlack for this years application, I can whole heartedly recommend it :happy2:

It has lasted nearly a full year on my car with only the windscreen showing signs of it wearing off. It comes in two bottle a cleaner and the sealant. Now I am going to be honest here its a PITA to get the cleaner off. It applys like a wax and then you have to buff it off. The next step is the sealer and its just as awkward.......BUT it is really worth the effort.

If you are still not convinced, look at this video.....you find that you dont really need wipers :surprised:

How's this stuff work with the auto wipers.  Are they still as normal and you just turn down the sensitivity to slow them down?

I'm currently using rain x and as mentioned it's brilliant when first applied but doesn't last that long. When i get through the bottle i'll probably look to invest in something better. May try a combo of Rain X then AG Glass Polish for now. I previously just used the AG Glass Polish on the interior.

The Valet Pro Bilberry wheel cleaner is tops, so is the Poosrboy's Wheel sealant - only had time to apply one coat but after applying it and buffing it off i would have happily licked my wheels they were that clean and polished - silky to the touch too  :love:  :ashamed:
