LOL; yeah I'm totally full of ****.
I am thinking about yanking the airbox since it's now my DD and I rather have the lower IAT's in traffic. Plus I don't think Airaid is really even needed--

I thought so. You know my position on air boxes. Stock with K&N panel. Best bang for the buck at $40-50.

Yeah Dave; probably sell it off to someone on here -- sure they'll want it.
I am excited to get new windshield; that hazing **** when it rains was really BAD! Thank god I'm a young buck with good eyes so I was able to pay attention and not wreck.

This is an interesting thread, and it brought to mind a few ideas.
One, I realized I don't use my wipers at all, except maybe to brush off bug guts or something. I've found Jet Seal 109 to be extremely water-phobic, even more-so than RainX which is quite exceptional in its own right (but very hard to polish off a windshield.) My previous 2010 Flex had similar behavior to your SHO windshield, now that I think about it. I chalked it up to a microfinished surface that was privy to not being able to be cleaned like normal glass. Side note, that glass also had an overall haze from what I believe was the laminate in the middle. There was also a rippling effect, which was not pleasant. A good excuse to trade up I suppose.
I don't use many Zaino products anymore but I do remember their glass polish product being out-of-this-world good at cleaning dirty glass. Also smells like tapioca I think.
Oh, and waffle microfiber towels are your friend when doing glass. They'll stop the micro-fuzzies from adhering to the glass after you "clean" it with a microfiber. That, and/or newspaper. For some reason, it works extremely well.

I had them replace the windshield -- still hazed pretty bad but ended up taking some chemicals to it.
I guess when I was at track the Friday after the windshield was put on I had a ton of crap on the windshield from standing behind cars burning out before dragging.
Anyways; I clay bar windshield, cleaned it, and sealed it. It's not perfect but now I just don't care--it sucks period and is the first car I ever had to do this crap to. Maybe over time it'll get better or it won't.
Given all the other flaws I'm pretty much beyond caring anymore. Hood doesn't line up, most of tail lights (at least on cars I've seen or talked to owners with) don't line up on left side, windshield is crap, eh.
Don't get me wrong; the joy of car tends to not let me care about the other things. I just know next time I buy a $50k car I am going to look over it EXTREMELY close.

I am trying a CQuart variant from CarPro for the glass. Definitely gives it gloss. No streaking and no fogging yet. Nothing sticks and it acts like Rain-ex... only better, very slick feeling and hydrophobic. It's supposed to last 2 years Like others I rarely resort to the wipers outside of a driving rain.
Do you have your ac on when the issue happens cant see any if the photos or video but if your blasting ac it will make the outside window fog up bad at times my grandma insisted doing that saying it is suppose to get ride of it in Florida but if you add some heat to the inside it will help the AC just takes the moisture out of the sir inside the car but need to play with the temp some

Also in high elevation and hold outside I had issues untill I got the windshield hot enough. But most times I did not remember to start the car first and have to drive with window down till I got to lower elevation 5 miles from home.
