I haven’t myself. I just use the topper I use on top of my ceramic coating for the windshield on occasion, and that works good enough. Think I’ve had it on there about 3 months now and haven’t had to reapply

Do you find the windows easier to clean and leave streak free? Does dirt/bird residue/ etc come off easier? Can you tell it's coated looking through into the sun?

Thanks

For years I just used to apply Aguapel to all the windshields. As long as it was thin it was fine and works well. I offered and did several windshields with g tecnique
G1/G2 combo. On my own I got 8 months of solid performance. My own personal vehicles very really get too dirty so I can’t attest to cleaning. But I sure didn’t need wipers on the highway

I think windows in general are always going to have some streaking issues regardless of products used. You cannot tell anything is on there as far as looking at it, and I usually don't even need to use my windshield wipers if I get stuck in the rain. Mind you I live in south Florida, one Raines is as good as another, when it rains it pours (guess the movie). I don't think I've got bird poop on the winshield, the main issue I run into is film from saltwater as we live very close to the intercoastal, but that comes off easily too.
