Mark,
It is best to Google as the brands will be different in the USA from 
Europe. The product for automotive application is probably the same as 
for the application on building windows. The latter is way cheaper.
Brands in the NL are:
Percenta, Maxxlube, BestProtect, Nanomaxi, Europrotex, Bestprotect. 
There are many more.
Overhere most firms that replace windscreens also provide the service of 
applying the product to the windscreen.
There are differences in quality/durability. Also application can 
differ. Some need cleaning with a sort of polish first, others need a 
couple of hours before you can use the car, aplication temperature seems 
to be over 20C most of the time. It can be a bit of a cowboy market and 
brands seem to change regularly.
A couple of years ago I tested a few products for the ANWB, the Dutch 
AAA, and all worked (some better than others) on all the windows of the 
car, do not use it on the door mirrors. Durability varied
It is very good for motorway driving as the waterdroplets are blown of 
when driving over 40-50mls/h, it really improves visibily considerably 
and you do not need to use the windscreen wipers, but it is less suited 
to town driving where you still need the wipers, it will leave a slight 
mist for about a second on the screen after a wipe, which can be a bit 
irritating with lights ahead.
