Hi AJA, apologies I did say I would ask the guys who did my PPF about a product called ClearPlex which is a PPF for windscreens - it might be worth a look. Im back at REEP next friday so will ask about its suitability for a heated RR screen.

https://www.reepsouthern.co.uk/clearplex/


Just spoke with them - £500+VAT for Clearplex - can go on heated & solar screens without an issue - its a lot of money but my L322 was never the same after having a new windscreen fitted and leaked within 3 months of replacement. 2021 P400 Silicon Silver AB

the main problem that windscreen leak it is not the bonding of screen to frame it is the clips that hold the a pillar covers on they have got to be replaced with new clips with the seal rubbers on even if the old ones come out put them in a bin replace with new . i always remove all covers and replace them myself after 24 hours of windscreen being fitted if you want a job doing right do it yourself new vehicle purchase

I like and use many Sam Som products and find Bugsy is excellent at bug and bird muck removal. Spray on direct from the bottle, leave for a minute or two and just wipe away with a soft cloth or paper towel. Its what I use between proper cleans if the car gets splurged.

It's particularly bad when driving through France at dusk and during the night.

I've always just stopped at services and cleaned the windscreen properly. 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE - 'Black Betty'

Australia 2007 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Java Black

I clean my screen with 000 wire wool and detergent to get it as clean as possible then I use one of the cheap ebay ceramic coatings. This last a good 6 months, water just beads off once moving so hardly use my wipers for rain. A damp cloth removes bugs and other contaminants. 2007 TDV8 VSE

If you're the pre-emptive type, a RainX treatment on the screen will ease the whole process for at least a month
