Experiences with glass coating/sealant

I'm looking for some feedback/recommendations for glass coating/sealants. (just to clarify - for the windows, not for the paint). I came across a couple f other threads but they were talking about paint.

I applied adam's glass sealant 7 weeks ago. First sealant i had ever used. The water does beat pretty well. In light rain i typically do not have to use the wipers. However for the water to just slide off the windshield, I have to drive over 45mph otherwise it just sits there.

Anyone have a good/better experience with a glass sealant that you would recommend?

Waiting for weather to improve to apply this:

I'm very happy with CQuartz which continues to bead like it did on day one after a year so thought I would give this a try.

the easiest/best i've used is wolf's glass sealant

wipe on wipe off, it's that easy

also wipers don't skip across the glass which is a problem i've had using other coatings

Just applied Nanolex Ultra Glass to my cars. So far love it, but can't speak to durability. No wiper skipping, beads really well, rain sheets off better than Rainx.
