Default Windshield

Are there different grades of windshield glass? My windshield beads the rain off like it has a coat of wax or rain-ex, but considering I clean it with Windex every few days I know its just bare glass. I can drive down the highway with no wipers and unless its pouring I can see just fine. Can I owe this to the superior materials and workmanship of the Swedes or could it be aftermarket? It's def not your everyday stock windshield.

I dunno, maybe it has a really good coat of rain-x on it or something that is resistant to windex...


maybe it's magic.

I added wax to mine (ghetto rainx) helps move water in the Florida thunderstorms.
