Title: What Do The Dealers Use?
Post by: Mr GTD on 03 March 2012, 23:50

Having just picked up the GTD I have noticed when using the jet washers they don't leave water marks or Smering...

My question is...What do the dealers use to fill the washer jets?

Also is there a rain repellant product out there that people would recommend?

Thanks

+1 for rain x very good when driving MW don't need you wipers on  :wink:

As for water marks its case of dry the car off with microfiber cloth also use a detailer.

I only use the VW stuff, it's about the best i've seen tbh and good value for money, in winter i've only ever put about half a bottle in and it's never frozen! plus it smells like actual screen wash rather than lemons or strawberrys which i like. :smiley:

Way better than raix x, lasts longer and much easier to apply: http://www.angelwax.co.uk/products/h2go.htm

Rain X will make you wipers eventually judder.

Since your car is new, get some Gtechniq G1. WAY better than rainx or anything else out there tbh. Last 2 years or 20k miles and beads amazingly!..check out some videos on youtube.

Talking of gtehniq - G3 is also good.

Due to the aerodynamics of a hatchback the rear screen will not be as clear as the front/sides.

Whats easiest to apply G1 or G3 ? or something else

No used G1 so can't comment - G3 is simply apply in circular motions, haze and remove.
