I'm curious and would like an answer from a professional since there are no clear replies anywhere on the net... eg. if you wax your windshield how about wipers chatter...

I don't wax my windshield because of the wipers...same goes for the side windows because of the weather stripping...I put wax on the headlights, taillights, and rear window though

For the window, I do clay it, hit it with glass cleaner and finish it off with glass sealant from Adams Polishes. As for the headlight, wash, clay, polish, wax.

I don't touch my windows besides just cleaning them with glass cleaner and for the lights, I polish and wax my headlights and tail lights.
