Facelift Side windows getting dirty.

[Gugne]

I've notice that the front side windows seem to get dirty very quickly and that rain on it doesn't seem to disperse even at speed. It's obviously a design fault but what's the best way to cure it? My Porsche had an invisible film that meant the water beaded up and ran off even at low speeds but it's not really something I'd want to fit and I don't want to use some sort of polish that ends up smearing. Any recommendations?

Maybe try Rain-X or other hydrophobic coating ?

Yeah I say go for Gtechniq rain repellent.

Gtechniq is good but a little finiky on application, for me Rain X is easy as to use on side windows, use a napkin to apply on then remove the haze with a damp mf, repeat twice sorted! Takes all about 5 mins to do the side and rear windows.
For the front I prefer optiglass, or c quartz stuff soley because wiper skip is minimized.

I have to agree with you on the application of Gtechniq, it did take me a WHILE but the results are worth it I think.

RainX is not bad either as said, when you consider how quick it is to apply

I had no replies so got impatient and ordered Superantural Glass Sealant Kit and Glass Polish.

I'll let you know how it goes.

You got impatient within 30 minutes? We're so sorry we couldn't meet your needs ;-)

Gyeon view - kit!

Knocks spots off of Gtechnique (sorry for the pun)

Kits is great for 4-5coats on exterior glass and is seriously good stuff Also about £20 for a kit!

I will not use anything else!

H2go by Angelwax is very good and easy to apply
