Glass sealant and H20 G&G

[Lee]

Is it neccesary to continue to use glass sealant when you are using G&G on your glass?

I'm definitely interested to know what everyone thinks.

If G&G makes you happy then go for it, but personally I think the Glass Sealant is much better at protecting glass than G&G is.

I like to use the sealant first and then H2O. I think the sealant would prove much more durable, but don't really have any evidence to back that up. Maybe a split window test is in order! Either way, I look at H2O as a way to replenish the GS and an easy way to seal the glass during the wash process. I think f you didn't have the GS it would probably be a decent option to just use H2O. But again durability wise, I would be willing to bet the GS goes a bit longer. Mine seems to last foooorrreeevvvvvveerrrr.

I usually skip the windshield when I do H2O and just go straight for the glass sealant. I probably use glass sealant too often but today in some light rain, I never needed my windshield wipers until I got into the stop and go stuff. Once I got up to 40MPH or greater traffic, windshield wipers just made noise and lines on my windshield that weren't necessary. LOVE glass sealant.

This is exactly how all my windows stay treated.

Glass sealant since it lasts so long. Also I think G&G is easily broken down by the mechanical action of your wipers - the first and only time I used G&G on my windshield I noticed some light gray buildup vertically along the driver's side after a couple days of rain, as if the wipers were slowly scraping the G&G away. Everywhere else though it's terrific.
