Nickc0844 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Adam, What's the progress and/or result on a glass sealant? When you were here in Atlanta, that test we did lasted quite a while. I know you said to make it is extremly expensive, but I think it has a place in the lineup. Additionally, I'm facing a dilema. The windshield in the Mercedes is so pitted, that when clean, is actually a nightmare when the sun shines into it. I know we've had this conversation, "Just replace the damn thing", but wouldn't it be cool to have a product/system that first cleaned out all the pours in the surface, and then another that "filled" them in, leaving it more visible and protected from the outside elements? Let me know what you think, Cran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Cran, Adam is at SEMA but I'll make sure that he sees this. In the mean time have you tried taking a clay bar to your windshield? -Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickc0844 Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 Thanks Jason! Absolutely, the claybar does well to purge all the crap that gets into the pours, and on a newer windshield that doesn't have 83k miles on it and is driven on the most traffic ridden route in the US, works great to improve visibility and repel rain. I typically follow this up with Brillant Spray Glaze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill-V8V Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I agree I'd love a product that would fill in the little pits from highway driving !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred vette Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 or something like a rain x but wont leave a oily mess on the windshield when it wears off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97F1504RAD Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I actually use the clay bar and the Revive polish on the glass when i want it looking it's best and being the water off. You can also use Butter wax on it. There is a claybar made specifically for glass but i have yet to try it and have my doubts about it being any different than normal claybar. If the glass is pitted badly from years of use and rock chips then you really need to replace it to solve the problem. Call your insurance company they may cover it if you can convince them that it is dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried both and unfortunately when it's pitted badly, the product fills in the pits but does not dry clear. Don't waste your money on the glass clay....I did! Car insurance will replace it if it has a rock chip in the view on the drivers side. They'll also replace if a rock chip occured, then spidered (not fixable by using a product). I'm thinking similar to the above post of a RainX alternative that provided superior results. Like I said, I've tried a prototype that Adam brought over to my house...I want to expand on that idea to make it even more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjwvette Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 What would be in the glass sealant and how would you use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickc0844 Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 It's gotta be something that dries absolutely clear as it will seep into the pits. I'd like to see a similar application/consistancy to Brilliance Spray Glaze. It should also smell like bubble gum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickc0844 Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 Bringing this back up after a convo. with Adam last week. Sounds like something is in the mix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Glass sealant would be great. New glass for some of our older classics are getting harder to find. $$$$ when you do find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Yeah! I need this for my F150 with 90,000 miles on the clock. That or I need to replace the windshield. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
