Aquapel Glass Treatment by PWG 2 Single Use Applicators PPG

10/22/15 Update: A couple weeks ago on the way to work, Aquapel saved my life. I was going through a construction zone on I-5 in Tacoma, WA right after a rain morning and when a semi in the lane next to me hit a rut filled with water, it was like a fire hydrant spraying on my windshield. I was just expecting a sheet of water to cover my windshield and then hit the barrier in heavy traffic. Well, I was shocked! When the water hit, it beaded up and spread over the windshield to the point that I had plenty of time to hit the wipers and keep driving without ANY CHANGE IN MY DRIVING! Thank you Aquapel for saving my life! Wow! I have been thoroughly impressed with Aquapel. The day after I put the Aquapel on my windshield, a bird decided to leave me a present. Well, it cooked on my windshield for a few days as I was bit scared of washing off the Aquapel like I would be with Rain-X, and when we finally had a light rain, it all washed off. Furthermore, there isn't even an outline of the bird poop on my windshield! It is like nothing even happened! Just awesome. The dirt and dust that accumulated on my windshield during those few days also disappeared without leaving the windshield wiper area cleaner than the rest. I couldn't recommend something more. Lastly, we also have a car that has a very old and pitted windshield from a sandstorm or something. That problem has been severely mitigated with this. That car doesn't need to use windshield wipers nearly as much and as a result, it seems like the glare has decreased as well.

Incredible product. I drive a lot for my job and whenever it starts raining the rain just beads up and rolls right off the windshield. Most of the time I don't even have to use my wipers. Easy to use easy to apply I highly recommend this on personal and work vehicles unless you live in the desert.

I love this stuff. On a midsize sedan, I need a little more than one applicator for the windshield which doesn't really leave enough to do the back or any other windows, but that's not to be expected. It applies super easy and last practically all season. Seems to work better and longer than RainX.

Was skeptical when I heard about this stuff in forums. Most people claimed it is useful, and lasts at least 6 months. One and done applicant is kind of a bummer, but if it lasts as long as it says it does, then worth it I guess. Beats going out there to your car, and wiping all the windows down when rainx stuff wears off. I used it on my windshield and side windows. Hasn't yet been a full 6 months yet, but so far, seems to still hold on. Rain beads up and easily wipes away. Only downside is avoid getting it on your paint and you must wipe it away really quickly after you apply it or else there will be a lot of smudgy streaks to get out using muscle. So far, so good!

Easy to apply, applicator design is nice since there is no chance of overspray like there is with a spray bottle and no chance of spilling it... Not as easy to wipe off as I expected, make sure you have plenty of paper towels ready... It is a strange liquid and doesn't get absorbed easily by the paper towels, so you have to swap them out pretty quick, and I may have had a thicker layer than you are supposed to to begin with... Next time I will use a little more pressure on the applicator to try and start with a thinner layer... Took a lot longer to clean the glass thoroughly than to apply the product... Works as good as any other decent glass treatment, but from the testing I saw by Project Farm on YouTube, it should last quite a bit longer before it needs to be reapplied...

Product works and repels water a bit better than rain-x but not so much that is justifies to price difference. I would much rather apply rain-x once or twice a month to get the same effect that this gives.

I was quite impressed by this product and the related glass cleaner. It has definitely made the windows on my older car perform better than new in the rain. I did a test setup to see if this product really made a difference or if it was just me (finally) thoroughly cleaning my windows inside and out. Since I didn't care as much about the end result on my moon roof I used that glass as a test sample. I cleaned the whole pane of glass like all the other windows by first I washing the whole car and then I used the aquapel brand glass cleaner to further clean the glass inside and out. Even after washing the glass cleaner pulled up more crud. After the cleaning I only applied the aquapel to half of the surface of my moon roof while doing all the other windows. I was actually able to get two applicators to do all the glass on my car (a older honda accord coupe). So to the test surface, I think using the aquapel cleaner definitely makes a difference relative to how the glass had gotten on my car, my windows had reached the point where water was no longer beading up on the glass, but sheeting and streaking. The half of the skylight glass that only got cleaned was now beading up. The half of the skylight that had aquapel on it was also beading up, but the beads where smaller and more slippery. You could tell this because while driving in the rain and looking up, the half that was treated had water beads that would just slip right of the glass. The other half with the bigger beads would get sort of a wind ripple effect (like if you were to blow onto the top of water in a drinking glass) and would only slip off at higher speeds. So beyond my little experiment the results on the wind shield were also quite impressive, though I need new wipers, I can almost drive in the rain without them as water just beads up and slips off. About a week after I had treated the glass i was driving to work and got bird bombed on the top part of the windshield right in front of me. It was gross and also a little fascinating as the dropping just slipped like a water bead up and to the outside of the windshield as I drove, trailing a nice streak. I wasn't sure if that kind of 'attack' diminished aquapel's performance so I hosed off my bird present as soon as I got home. It stands as an interesting testmant thought that all liquids seem to be repelled by this stuff. I would definitely buy again to treat my glass. I recommend new wipers at the same time for best results.

So far so good. Easy application. Pre work the windshield and your good.
