what's best to use to de-scale the windows? the house we just moved into has an automated sprinkler system & it keeps spraying the passenger side window. Looks like hard water stains on the glass.

You'd want to use either a glass polish like ceriglass or in a pinch you can use regular paint polish on a machine polisher.

Other option would be a razor blade with plenty of lube.

I think it's a great product but it isn't my favorite coating. I much prefer Gtechniq Exo v2 or Cquartz. Just personal preference. I find them easier to work with but the tradeoff being you get 2-3 years instead of 5.

Try carpro Spotless before you try polishing.... may save you a ton of work.

In the market for trying a new sealant. Last application ran out of my Hydro2 and looking for something different. Leaning towards Wet Diamond because I already have Midnight Sun.

BTW buying you a beer for shits and giggles, thanks for your help and guidance.

Appreciate that sir. You can't go wrong with Wet Diamond. No matter how many I try I keep coming back to it.

Do you recommend anything special for wheel protection? Do I just apply the same sealant that I'd use on the rest of the car? Zl1 black 10 spokes if it matters..

You can use the same sealant of course. If you want to step it up, you could use a coating like OC 2.0 or GTechniq EXO v2.
