    Is that the one that's by appointment to HM Liz? If it is then I've heard lots of good reports about it.

    I like the idea of a water repellent finish, especially in winter. If water can't settle on the windscreen, then just maybe the windows are less likely to freeze up overnight resulting in my scraping until my fingers go blue with cold in the mornings.

      It certainly is - fantastic stuff on car, boat, caravan or house. You still get frozen windows with it, but at least they are not streaky.

          As most above , a good window cleaner spray then squeegee this off ( use a shower squeegee , about 4" wide, for curved car windows ) then you MUST use crumpled newspaper, or microfibre ,to give it a buff . Otherwise you will never ever get rid of the last streak!
          Its important to keep you car windscreen clean especially now , with the low sun and headlights and rain. A greasy dirty windscreen really does multiply the glare

            Autoglym had a storage depot in the same yard as my old company.

            They invited us to Germany as their suppliers were branching out into products for putting on buildings.

            Their products were great sealants, the self cleaning glass one was fantastic, the water sat in beads on a windscreen and then just trickled off.

            They were trying to sell it to us as a sealant for stone though, claiming it was microporous. Found no evidence for that claim in tests. Could do a lot of damage to stone in the frost.
