Certainly is mate :happy2:

and some is winging its way to me now as I type! 

Just a quick tip seen as you bought some......dampen your removal cloth for the cleaner to make it easier.
Oh and the bottle with the black lid is the cleaner....the whole bottle is in German :confused:

 :signLOL:  both bottles have white lids!!!!  thankfully, we have english instructions on the reverse.  for taking off the sealant it states to moisten the cloth/screen but mentions nothing about damping the cleaner removal cloth.  but i shall bear in mind your tip if it looks to be a s0d to get off.  hope it rains tomorrow now!  :party:

seems straight forward enough so far...have just applied and taken off the cleaner without much difficulty and have now applied the sealant.  you watch, we will have a heatwave and drought for the next 3mths!

I'm on the Carlack band wagon, i was given some by a friend to try out and i was astounded!...

TIP: Don't use alcohol based or abrasive based cleaners on the glass one you've applied it otherwise you'll take the sealant back off again!

I did the Auto Glym glass polish then Rain X afterwards. Now it did rain for a few days without me going for a drive but when i drove her last Wednesday evening and it was raining it was very meh  :confused:

I didn't get good beading and i also had a bit of a funny smear which lit up in certain lighting conditions  :fighting: luckily it wasn't directly in line of sight.

When i previously ran rain x i got very good results but this was driving in the rain the day after i had applied rain x.

I think i'll be looking for something more durable and a bit better in overall performance once the rain x runs out  :party:

probably will do  :happy2:

I washed my windscreen with Megs #62 shampoo yesterday and it performed better today than i'd got out of the AG glass polish + rain x combo earlier in the week  :rolleye:

I did get some nasty misting on the rear windows though so it seems like they could do with a bit of AG glass polish inside and out next weekend.

I just bought rain x and wasnt too happy with the results to be honest.
In morrisons for 3 quid is demon shine pink watery wax solution put that on works better for me.
