Bob C. Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 While at the detail shop, I noticed on the counter a product called" Aquapel". It is available from Pittsburg Glass and Window. This is like SUPER Rain-X!! It doesn't seem to wear off like Rain-X does after a few storms. It supposedly forms a molecular bond with the glass and acts as a coating. The water still sheets off like Rain-X, it just lasts longer(been 4 weeks now and it still works great). Makes the "bug goo" come off easier too! Go to Ebay or Amazon to find it, search through the listings to get the best price. I got an 8-pack from Amazon(forget the price). The reason being, that one applicator will do ONE windshield, But you have to move pretty quick. Coat glass up/down the back/forth and wipe off while still wet(very important) I got enough to do the whole vehicle and I'm liking it better every day. Good luck, Bob C.

Dingo Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I've used it for a couple years and agree on it's awesomeness. I use 6 at a time on the edge and 4 on my wife's car, so I order a couple dozen/year. I reapply every 6 months, and it's not even all the way depleted then. One tip: It's incredibly difficult to wipe it all the way off, but after the application, just wash the car and the surplus will come off without all the tedious buffing.

Edgieguy Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) Aquapel is a great product. You can find it on eBay in bulk sometimes where it comes out very cheap. Edited May 6, 2013 by Edgieguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meierjn Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 They were throwing some of it out at work when I thought I would give it a try several years ago. Wow! It works great and lasts a very long time. Unfortunatly, I've used my last application on our new Edge's windshield. I'm going to have to buy some more to treat the large sunroof!

SuprFun Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 I'm going to give Aquapel a try! Question for those of you that have already used it. I currently use Rain-X and it works good on side windows except when I put it on the front glass and I turn the wipers on. When they make a pass across the windshield one way is clear and when they come back in the opposite direction it is kinda foggy. So it ends up being clear/foggy, clear/foggy clear/foggy as the wipers go across and back. Do any of you experience this using Aquapel?

perrytime Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 good tip, I like "invisible glass", super easy to apply, no haze or buffing. doesn't last too long, but easy of application is my priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meierjn Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Unfortunatly, it offered no protection from the rock that I caught last week. K-RAP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
