It is always the products fault. There is no way there may have been an error in application. Was a wax used that contained silicone?

Its simple aerodynamics . air flow going toward the windshield @ 100 mph will be 100 mph does not mean that wind speed coming from the windshield will even come close to that speed.

Let me just agree with you, this product is crap.. there, are you happy now?
Obviously you are the one who cant read very well. The product was ALREADY peeling BEFORE the washer was used. How's that for aerodynamics???

Looks like a cheaper spray clear bra. Spray it on and then you can peel it off if you want to remove it. Need to do more research but I may just give this a try. Could be an easy way to get some paint protection for a long road trip or track day. Any one here try it yet?
I'm taking a nice long road trip by the end of August. This product to me, seems perfect. I'm looking for something that will allow me to apply it and skip the nylon bra, or fight with the heavy leather GM bra that came with my car. I think I'll try this. I really don't like a bra or the other permanent clear coat of something that has to be put on by professional ?????

"Hell yeah, I'll order a kit, I wonder how much I need to do my C5?
