I'm liking the hybrid ceramic wax. Gonna get some of that to use after washing. Just one question: does it have any adverse effects if you get it on your windshield? Streaking/fogging?
Something like the hybrid ceramic wax doesn't bond as well to surfaces like glass since it is a different surface composition than paint. Could it bond? Yes but not nearly as well as the painted surface of the vehicle. If you are worried about getting some over spray on the glass and it causing an issue, I wouldn't be too concerned. As long as you do hit the area with a strong stream of water and do not let the product dry to the surface anywhere, you should be fine.
Fun tip with windows because EVERYONE hates doing them myself included:
- Use any window cleaner of your choice. Sprayway & Stoner Invisible Glass are popular choices but brand doesn't matter.
- Use a Waffle Weave Microfiber Towel - the weaves in the towel will pull the dirt out instead of smearing it across the glass
- Pick up a Spray Wax of choice. I use Meguiar's Detailer Line products but any spray wax will work. This is sold anywhere: https://www.autogeek.net/meguiars-spray-wax.html
- Spray the glass with a spritz or two. Use a Plush Microfiber Towel to spread the wax out across the glass, flip it over and buff it off.
I've had great luck with this process by eliminating any streaking or smearing while doing glass. By going over the glass with the spray wax it will clean up the smears as well as provide a hydrophobic surface inside & out which makes it easier to clean for the next time. And since it would be waxed on the outside, yes water will bead off of it.
