I don’t have the same issues myself, however, one suggestion would be make sure your windscreen is completely clean and grease free.

The best method I’ve ever been shown is to use some 0000 grade wire wool and soapy water and wash the windscreen with it in overlapping circles!

Windscreen should be pretty clean as this is immediately after I wash the car and then apply Hydraclean 2 coats after drying.

I'd recommend clay bar on the windscreen, and fitting new blades before using a sealant or glass repellant like this.. Just the way I'd always do it

I've not applied anything to my car since I did a cut and refine with a DAS6 and C2V3 to finish back in June. Since then, I've just done maintenance washes consisting of TFR, foam, 2 bucket wash and Ultragloss to help drying with all Anachem stuff. I've applied Hybrid probably twice in that time and this is how the CRV looks tonight.

Glass roof, no idea why the water looks green,

It only really became noticeable after I fitted new Bosch blades. Previous were Bosch too so can't be an issue with the brand.

I use Bosch wipers too, no issue with hydraclean at all. It's just a glass cleaner.

How do you apply it?

Agree the Bosch wipers don't seem as good as they used to be, certainly don't last as well, but no juddering or anything like that.

Hydraclean wouldn't need layered, 1 layer should last weeks at a time, I apply it to every car comes to me and you just need a dry windscreen, spray on & wipe off 1 layer - never had any issues with it here

Yeah she is very happy and positive person. If I didn’t have her I’d be a grumpy fart lol. It was great experience the show and helped a lot.
Everything in motion so hopefully Oct 19 we are away. Amazing place for kids and so much opportunity. Different way of thinking,
Working and living that brings out the happiness. Cheers

It was funny watching yous getting abit angry with the estate agents untill they gave you a guide price on your house lol
I know the plank that said House is devalued as it’s 3 instead of 4. An estate agent who doesn’t know it’s a 3 bed detached before attending. Research you clown lol
