Chemical Guys CLD30116 HydroView Ceramic Glass Cleaner, Water Repellent & Protective Coating (Works on Glass, Windows, Mirrors, Navigation Screens & More; Car, Truck, SUV and Home Use), 16 fl oz

This stuff is about as close to the detail shop quality as you can come. Note it’s not quite as good as the stuff the detail shops put on my car, but this is very very close. And since you can’t buy the stuff, the detail shelves put on, this is your go to

Product is easy to work with - spreads decently - wipes clean - you MUST follow the application instructions for this product NOT to smear & streak & make a royal mess of your windows. Take your time - get some really good microfiber clothes & as mentioned - take your time. First cleaned my Windows using Windex with Vinger & then once the Windows were clean & dry - applied this cleaner with Ceramic & used a WHOLE different batch of CLEAN Microfiber clothes. Don't use paper towels - they'll leave little dust bunnies & the finished result won't be as clean & streak free as with using decent Microfiber clothes. Just for the fun of it - cleaned my shower glass first with a Mr. Clean pad & then Windex & then finally this product. Worked great for about 2 weeks before I noticed soap scum starting to build backup - so - ya - great for inside dry applications - not so great for shower stall glass - GREAT for Bathroom Mirrors - notice it cuts/reduces fog build up a fair amount - but - only seems to last about 3 weeks before you need to clean your mirror & start the application process again. Great Product over all ...

First of all I want to start with the water repellency, it rained not long after I applied the Hydro View to the windshield, door windows and rear hatch glass, the water did bead off as expected and it was a quick process to apply and buff the glass but my only issue is since it rained as mentioned, it sort of created a haze or glare while the wipers are motion, I could only hope the glare would eventually disappear over time when it rains more and the wipers are in motion. Update: after a couple of days gone by with rain and running the wipers the glare and streaks have cleared up, one thing to keep in mind is by making sure during the application process is to apply with a microfiber cloth or a clean cotton cloth then let it dry as if you were applying wax or polish to the vehicle body then buff with another clean microfiber or cotton cloth, I wouldn’t recommend buffing with polyester or similar as it will definitely leave streaks or haze and create glare.

It cleans good enough but leaves streaks unless you spray a second time. Beading is an impediment to easy viewing through side rearvirw mirrors. Alcohol dies not cause beading and is a better alternative for rearvirw mirrors. This product is great for just the glass windows.

It’s been a while since I had my own vehicle, so I’m used to the old school toxic products that required a lot of work to get good results. I clay barred all of my glass, washed the truck, then applied this stuff. It went on so easily and is very hydrophobic. It rained a few hours after I applied it and without any wind or me touching anything, the water couldn’t even hang onto the windshield. It was practically dry from just the water rolling right off it. The cool thing is, it’s not an extra step in the car wash process. You just use it like you would windex after the car is dry. But this leaves behind a RainX type barrier and your wipers actually reduce your visibility at higher speeds because you don’t need them.
