does anyone treat their windows?

They get clay bared when I clay (front window was the second dirtiest spot for the clay on the entire truck when I did the first detail on it), and polished and waxed when I polish and wax - then it's up to meg's gold class soap and meg's ultimate detailer from there on out. Window cleaner never sees the outside of my windows - I like the never need windshield wipers in the rain effect of the wax and ultimate detailer (makes it alot easier to maintain too). Same thing goes for my lights.

I'll add a vote for the Stoners.
While Rain-x is in the discussion here, thought I might ask... whats the best method to apply it?
I use the "all-in-one" kit I guess you could call it. Its a little hand-held dispenser, one end is the applicator, the other end stores a soft cloth for the removal part.
The problem I'm having is the glazing even after I sit there for a while and clean the stuff off.

Heres what I do
Examine
Wash
Clay
Polish
Glaze
Wax
Wax-2nd coat
Buff
Heat up with a hair dryer
Glaze again
Wax again
Examine
Take a ziplock full of ice and rub over the glass
Polish to a shine again
Then as the finishing seal, I mix 1/3 distilled water 1/3 sheep urine and 1/3 tear from a crocodile
Works for me

A word of caution about Rain-X. While it is a nifty product and I've used it myself, we had to have a chip fixed in my husbands truck a few years ago. The glass guy couldn't get the adhesive to stick. He asked my husband if he'd used Rain-X or a similar product. He said that if you apply it over a chip in the glass, it will seep down inside the chip and when you try to get it fixed the stuff won't stick (kinda what Rain-X does! ) They finally got it to stick but said they couldn't guarantee the repair. I guess the moral would be...if you get a chip, have it fixed before you apply the next coat of Rain-X!
