0 Team Adam's Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Depends on what its exposed too... on average about 200 miles of wet weather driving, give or take. Longer if it doesn't see a lot of exposure... you will see a reduction in lifespan the more frequently its hit with the wipers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 IMADreamer Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how long it will last for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 McDuff Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I agree with Jason. I have done all of our cars and some others and my Olds still has the water run off above 40mph. I do think that a couple of applications over a few weeks seals it even better. I haven't done my car in over 2 months and it still works great. I will put on one more application in anticipation of the wonderful snow and salt in Northeast Ohio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 BespokeCar Posted December 4, 2010 Author Share Posted December 4, 2010 Have you tried it yet Andy? No, haven't tried it yet. Just trying to get an idea before I decide if I want to buy or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rich Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 No, haven't tried it yet. Just trying to get an idea before I decide if I want to buy or not. Go for it. You'll find it better than the ****X stuff. I haven't put it on mine in about a month or better, and still people look at me because I don't have my wipers on in the rain.

0 eric@thompsonracing.us Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Stuff works amazing! Used to use the other stuff, but the other stuff doesn't come close! Remember to clay your glass first. I use the Glass Cleaner as lube for the clay. Not sure if Dylan recommends it, but works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One to clean, the second to dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 70'sChevyGirl Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I'm not sure how long its going to last on my car windshield but I do know that I haven't had to apply it to my shower doors in a few months and it still works just fine.

That's how Adam shows it in his vids from right before it was released. It's the ONLY way I use clay on the glass. lol Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Team Adam's Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I know... I just didn't know many people were going that way. I clay my glass at the same time I do the rest of the vehicle so I just keep going with the DS. No sense in changing products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts were to keep any of the polymer/oils off the glass before sealing, but perhaps you clean the glass before applying the sealant...???

0 JerseyGator Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 My car never ever gets in the rain. Maybe occassional sprinkles on way home. How long can it expect to stay on then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Faze Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I got around 2k miles when I treated my wind shield. It was put through hail, snow, rain, and lots of sun... Probly 15 or so washes. I apply it heavy and probly use more product than I should LOL. I need to crack open a new bottle being that Ive used it all up for demos n such... My aunt wants to use it on all her trucks (she owns a fleet of 50 something 18 wheelers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 tony97gt Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 If one were to apply the glass sealant to the side windows, would using BG on those windows remove the glass sealant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Captain Awesome Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 So if ****X lasts me 4-6 months, then Glass sealant will last longer than that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Golf for Life Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I've never used ****X, but now use Adams glass sealant. Works great for me and lasts 6 months or more. But my car although a DD spends most of it's life in the garage when not in motion. Quick question for the experts can the sealant be used on plastic headlight lenses?

0 tony97gt Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I would bet that quick sealant would be more applicable for plastic headlight lenses and glass sealant for glass, but I'm no expert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 THE Mook Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 If one were to apply the glass sealant to the side windows, would using BG on those windows remove the glass sealant? Brilliant Glaze will degrade the Glass Sealant over time. How much? Hard to say on my end...I mean I clay my glass every three months regardless. So if ****X lasts me 4-6 months, then Glass sealant will last longer than that? Adam's Glass Sealant has 4-5 times the active ingredient of the Over the Counter Windshield protectant. I've never used ****X, but now use Adams glass sealant. Works great for me and lasts 6 months or more. But my car although a DD spends most of it's life in the garage when not in motion. Quick question for the experts can the sealant be used on plastic headlight lenses? I would bet that quick sealant would be more applicable for plastic headlight lenses and glass sealant for glass, but I'm no expert. Headlights? Quick Sealant all day. Anytime I correct lenses, QS is the FIRST thing I reach for. Mook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Golf for Life Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Thanks Mook, I've been using Americana but it does seem that Quick sealant would be the correct product and would be long lasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 THE Mook Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Thanks Mook, I've been using Americana but it does seem that Quick sealant would be the correct product and would be long lasting. At the Spring VW Clinic, I corrected some headlights, then Sealed them. To this day, they still look crisp. Don't they Baker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
