I found a product that works great. I’ve tried rain x and 3 star but I think this one works the best so far. The company is called Unelko corp. they are the original manufacturers of rain x. It’s very inexpensive and I love it. As an add on service I charge an additional 30%. I’m considering adding it to my solution but have not tested it out yet. I do use rain x in my solution currently but I found it does not last long. It works good for the first couple of rains.

I have ran into a big pane of glass that was IMPOSSIBLE to clean traditional because it kept leaving those marks. But I broke out the WFP and called it good. I’m with Chris tho guys. I personally WOULD NEVER RAIN X windows on any house.

My guess is that Rain-X reacted with something else that was on the glass. So it created a mixed coating. I have never had trouble with any window I have applied it to. Unelko has a VERY long history with this formula. It first came out as Repcon for jet windshields back in the 1970s. Then Rain-X. Then the Invisible Shield. Now something else. I have always known it to be a great product. It can however be broken down by ultraviolet radiation, and is sensitive to high pH solutions. I have my own tinker tests for pH sensitivity. Need to buy a UVC power lamp. The kind that will burn your skin off in five minutes leaving ligament and bone. I really want one of those.
WFP was completely ineffective on this glass on 3 different properties they owned. The company prior that was applying Rain X (against their better judgement, at the customer’s request) jacked the price to double the cost this year, the difference of thousands of dollars, so they called us. 2 months after we provided service they called back and wanted us to re-clean the windows and asked us what our price would be to do so, I had to turn it down because I knew there was no way we could effectively clean them to our standards.
THey were Rain X-ed on the insides and out. I spoke to the other company’s project manager after and he was like “Yeah, we thought that was a pretty bad idea, but they insisted” lol
Your so smart Henry. I dig your info. I’d like to pick your brain on the solution your developing and talk to you about what I use and your thoughts. Oh. How’s the new program working for you? If you need some help with some of the tools I could lend a hand.

If you wanted to pickup a Micro-Wobble from the Tin Man we could work together on some of the slow release coats for polishing. It is a good practice wheel. Gets in corners well. Probably would be OK for shower doors. I just did my pellet stove window with it using a hard felt rad and diamond compound. Now to maintain everyday I just use a little SKRUB with paper towels. The Micro-Wobble is only 2 inch in diameter. And two hundred bux less then the big six inch. So a hundred bux. I have no profit at all in these wheels.
Thanks so much for your kind words and compliments!
