where did you end up buying the shine armor product?

Can’t find it on Amazon (although they have the other products from the same brand). They sell it directly but seems like a waste to ship just one product.

FWIW, I use Car Guys Hybrid Polish on paint and windows. The OE wipers run super smooth and glass stays clean.

I went to Shine Armor site. I think they give you a % off coupon. It’s still working awesome. In fact, I just cleaned off the glass with Shine Armor glass cleaner. Worked flawless in 4 days of Ian deluge.

An update if it helps anyone in the future... I finally got around to buying the Shine Armor nano glass coating - I bought the original version but I guess they discontinued that one and they sent me the graphene one and gave me 50% off.

I cleaned the wiper blades and the windshield and clay-bar-ed it. Then I applied the Shine Armor. It finally rained a bit today and so far so good! I haven't switched out the windshield wiper blades yet... fingers crossed this remains the fix!

I have been experiencing the wiper blade chatters from day one. Finally got tired of it and got a new set of
Trico Wipers Trico Wipers
wipers from Amazon. It's been raining daily in So. Cal and no more chatters from the wipers.

Mine has the cold weather package...never chattered
but recently I replaced the blades, with audi OEM from a dealer online.... and now they chatter. Not so much when it's really raining...it seems to happen in a lighter rain when the intermittent control triggers before there's much water on the windshield. The only other variable is not long ago I used carpro reload on the car to 'boost' the ceramic coating. After confirming with carpro that it's ok for glass, I put it on the windshield too...thinking it would be like rain-x. ugh.
