Default A MUST For Winter Driving

I've just tried Carlack Nanotech Glass sealant. They say that it helps water just roll of the glass and it really does! I've had it on for a couple of weeks now and this morning is this first time its rained since.

The water just beads off as you go along, I hardly had to use my wipers! This will be really good when the weather gets worse!

Its a bit of a job to put on (if you leave it on to long without buffing) but its well worth the effort.

I don't work for them btw

Without reading up on it, I'm guessing it's a similar product to Rain X. Which I've been using for the past 14 years or so. I swear by it.

Rain X is amazing.. It's the only way to stop the water from ruining the rear view in my opinion.. I really wish they had installed rear wipers..

I do find Rain X can be a pain if it's lightly raining as it often looks more like mist on the window that rain.. So I still have to put the wipers on. However in medium rain it's fantastic and really comes into it's own.

Rain X is brilliant on a crash helmet visor.
Also Bob Heath anti fog on the inside.
