just a silicone spray of some type I suppose, I have used plain silicone spray in the past on glass and it works very well.

Autoglym Glass Polish.
My wipers piss me off - I only use the intermittent speed, otherwise they're turned off. That's how good the glass polish is!

make sure you have nice new wiper blades if you intend using any glass water repelants, otherwise you will have major fun when using your windscreen washers in the sun.
