Windshield protection
Has anyone applied windshield protection? Can't think of the name of the product, but it's advertised at the xpel shop we went to.

Same here. I have 2 chips now that I have reported. I have a year to have them fixed. Will wait and see if I get any more before I decide to have them repaired or the windshield replaced.

I think OP may be thinking of Clear Plex.

I asked the guy about it when I had my XPEL installed. He said he would not recommend doing it. Apparently it yellows over time and it isn't cost effective.

I wouldn't want to put something on the windshield that wasn't optically clear.
Is there such a thing?

Consider detailing the glass.......
1) Griots Garage Fine Glass Polish
2) Pinnacle Black Label Glass Coating
Just google the above.
I have done this on all of my premium sports cars.
