I keep a fresh coat on at all times, I even went as far as taking the windsheild wipers off for a while during a drought we had.

I use rain-away on outside and rain-x anti-fog on inside. I also have teflon coated wiper blades.

I use it on my GSR.

Better doublecheck though before you use it on the Hype-R, maybe they have different glass properties or something

I use the rain-x windshield wiper fluid cause I'm that lazy.
It works okay, but not as well as putting it on by hand.

Not that I really care but these are ITR specific questions, so why did they get moved?

I wanted to know what ITR owners were using on their cars.

No flames- just a question.

I used to use it a lot. Lately, on really really sunny days (which are super-rare in my neck of the woods), it looks streaky. Anyone else get this? (Or is it just that my windows are dirty)

You have to make sure your windows are clean before you put it on. Also, make sure the coat is even and when you buff it out, some spots need to be buffed harder than others, depending on the amt on the surface.
