These pictures remind me of those old Mintex calendars from the 80's.

I just bought a tub of Fusso but haven't used it yet. Do you rate it?
Moisten the applicator and very thin coats, also avoid using if the panels are warm, should bead for a good few months. My picture above is Soft99 Water Block which is very similar

Yes, very much so. I have a tin from a few years ago now and I think the formula changed recently. I've commuted with the car all week and it's still looking pretty clean tbh. Try the windscreen treatment - never have to turn the wipers on!

Cool thanks. I bought the glass compound and sealant. Have done the compounding but held off the sealant on the windscreen after reading that some folks got smearing & juddering with the wipers over time. You not had any issues?
Glaco Ultra? I've have had the occasional judder, usually if the wiper activates when the screen is already fairly clear of water. I've also had a bit of smear, but I suspect it might be the screenwash I'm currently using. But the trade off is ytou hardly need to use the wipers, water just rolls off at speed. I'm going to see how it goes, if it keeps on annoying me then I will just use the Glaco Compound again to strip the screen of the coating entirely, and rely on physical wipers only.

Yah Ultra Glaco. I've applied to side and rear windows but not to windscreen yet. I'll see how it goes with just a compounded and squeaky clean screen first. But then I've had smeary wipers from the get go..

This may be great but word of caution.....I have tried windscreen treatments before and really not liked the result. I have settled on side and rear windows only.
I keep my windscreen/s clean with Autoglym regular glass polish or Fast Glass and use Autoglym Ultimate Screenwash in the washer tank. Super results.
Good luck.
