Rather expensive for a 15ml bottle (£15.95). The fellow who valeted my car told me about a local company called Orchard Autocare:

They have a product called Hydrophobe:

Same principle as the Gtechniq stuff, but a damn site cheaper, £15.95 for a 500ml bottle. It's also a lot less time consuming applying it... just spray it on!

I did my windows the week before Christmas and it works a treat for me. The car hasn't been washed since then and is pigging, but the windscreen surround (where the wipers don't get to) is just starting to show signs of dirt sticking to it, whereas it would start showing after a week or so. Hope to get it washed this week and then I'll find out if it still works.
