What's your favourite wax/sealant for beading?

[Dean0991]

I've always used rainX on my windscreen really easy to apply water shoots off like no tomorrow. Silly question how do I upload pictures on here? I'll up load some pics of my mk2. I like using rupes compounds and there jewelling polish with the white tip is brilliant stuff adds that bit more depth to the paintwork. Blue tip for heavy swirls and scratches a bit dusty but a great products both easy to remove and you could work it in all day it don't dissolve.

To post pics you'll need a photo hosting account such as Flickr, Photobucket or similar.  If using Flickr, you need to copy and paste the BBC code for your chosen pics into your post.  For Photobucket, you need to copy and paste the IMG code, starting with 'url...' into your post.

I used to use RainX but stopped after problems with the wipers skipping over the windscreen and squeaking like hell.  In the end I switched to Bosch Aerotwin wiper blades which are excellent and are still judder/squeak free 2 years on.  On the odd occasion I used RainX again, it did make them squeak, so now I just wash the screen as the rest of car and leave it at that - product free.  I think it's often down to the blades/RainX combination.  All other windows get waxed along with rest of the car.

Never tried Rupes but sounds like good stuff.

Dean, I'm sure you'll work it out but these instructions might help

Gtechniq G5

So, quick review.

Application

Hard work to apply and buff off, Bev called me to tell me id done a rubbish of buffing her passenger window off, which I'd spent ages on. It goes on as a thick liquid and dries to a chalk film, a little does go along way.

Results

WOW! The water beaded off so quick in heavy and light rain I didn't even need to put my wipers on so I don't know if it has created wiper judder or not, so I'll update you on that later.

Summary

Great product if you want a great repellent but not if you want a quick class cleaner.

Handy little review Neil.  Let us know how it goes with the wipers.

I'm not sure I'd bother with it tbh as cleaning stuff off glass is not my strong point    I've got so used to not having anything on the screen and blissful wiper silence that I wouldn't want to tempt fate.  As much as I like great sheeting and beading, silent smooth wipers are more important and although the G5 reduces the need for them, I'm sure they'll still be needed in some cases.

It's got to be sonax bsd- small spritz on each panel, buff it in, job done! Gives outrageous beading on windscreen as well!
