I've read on a few places (including the c2 product page on the gtechniq site) that this can be used on glass so the rain beads off... anybody tried it on the windscreen?
I know they do rain repellent coatings but figured I already have some c2 so was thinking of trying it.

Don't see why it would be an issue, but I'd probably test on the rear screen first just to check it doesn't cause wiper judder.

I've put it on all but the windscreen, no judder from the rear wiper so next clean (today if I can be bothered, just come off nights this morning so tired and grumpy) I will do the windscreen too with confidence. Booth said it'd be okay so good enough for me :smiley:

If Booth says its ok then it definitely will be. :grin:

I use C2v3 on my windscreen and other glass and it's very good on glass (not a fan of it much on paintwork). I've kept my windscreen free from anything fir last few years after a previous judder issue (previous car), but decided to take a risk with the C2. Absolutely no judder at all with my aerotwins. Highly recommend C2 on windscreen, just make sure glass is perfectly clean first before applying. :smiley:

Sounds good to me. I use AG fast glass at the moment with a wo-wo cloth so will make suge it's clean before applying of course. Am currently waiting on some new wiper blades coming (aerotwin) that I ordered last week and haven't turned up yet so I'll need to chase them up as even 2nd class post should have turned up (at argos - click and collect from ebay) by now!
I think using gtechniq glass nano polish would probably be overkill in this case for just c2 but they do recommend it for applying their other glass rain repellent coatings.
Going to order some perfect glass cleaner on my upcoming CYC order as I can't see anywhere else that does it at a decent price, factoring in the delivery cost as well it's not worth ordering on it's own.

Just an update in case anyone finds this thread in future... I applied it to all exterior glass today (after washing and then cleaning with AG fast glass). I also fitted my new wiper blades that turned up today as well (Bosch Aerotwin).
It rained shortly afterwards when I was driving and was impressed with the beading on the windscreen - it seems so much clearer to see out of.

Peed down today, first time since I treated my windows to C2v3 and I too enjoyed the beading. There were some big drops running around my side windows which was a bit mesmerising, fun, but not a good idea whilst driving!
