Pano Roof Care..
I just got a newer car recently and i'm wondering if i should clay bar and put a coat of wax or sealant on the roof for protection and beading purposes... I've seen some "glass sealants" and "glass polish" but any brand i should look into?
i'm going to clay bar the car today and put a few coats of Blacklight on it and then some blackfire sealant.. after i attack the hood with the PC and Megs polish to get rid of some light scratches..
thanks

Wax won't hurt the glass. I know when I detailed cars many moons ago one of the guys I worked with put wax on the glass. With the product we were using(Auto-Glym wax with a bit of a filler that hid swirls nicely), you just rubbed it off and the glass looked like you had just cleaned it, perfectly clear, no need to clean the windows.
I told him he was wasting expensive wax and it took longer than just cleaning the windows with newspaper and window cleaner. But no doubt it worked, I kind of wonder though if it would leave a funky film on the glass when it rained or would smear with your wipers.

if i go that route i think a professional will do it... There's a local guy that can do it...

your right i don't think wax is the way to go... 22pler VG1 (Glass Specific Coating) that is what i was told to use... I have stoners glass that i use for the windshield so i wouldn't think a roof is no different...
Maybe Zac can chime in... thanks guys

You can save a lot of coin using Griot's Glass Sealant. Basically the same concept just at 25% of the cost. You can clay the glass too and given it's much harder than a clear coat you can polish it out if you have trouble removing contaminants. Just make sure you keep the sealant up and you'll be good to go.
