No problem, but you need to machine polish it before applying the sealant

What do you mean by machine polish? I don't have such tool. I just want to apply it to the windscreen not the body.

The reason why your windscreen not repellent water is because of the oil that stick inside the glass.
So you will need to remove all these oil before you applying the sealant, otherwise it will be just waste your time and wont last long.

Maybe i hand polish for you tonite and see if you like the result.
