My first question is about the Lambs wool mit that I have from detailer's paradise. I have both a tan and black one. I currently dont use the tan one becuase it constantly sheds its hairs!! After using it for a wash, my mini is covered in hairs everywhere... Anyone else have this issue? Maybe the lamb this mit came from was a little older and began losing his hairs? IDK?? I only wash it by hand and never put it in the dryer.

My other question is about using Aquapel on the windshield. I just bought two applications and would liek to use it in conjunction with my silicon wiper blades i just bought as well. Is this doable? Anyone have any thoughts or tips about using Aquapel. I used to use rainex but wanted to try something a little better.

#1 have you tried washing it and gently pull on the hairs to see if most of
the loose ones come off? if A LOT comes off, i would send it back for an
exchange. sounds like a defect.

#2 shouldnt be a problem to use with your silicon blades..blimey knows a
lot about wiper blades and silicon blades and etc.

I have the same mitts as you do, but mine do not shed. Contact Heather & ask her if there is a cure (Rogaine perhaps).

I use Aquapel with my silicone blades and it's fine. Just a general tip - buff like craaaaaazy.

Buff like crazy before applying aquapel? is that what you mean?

No, after. You apply it, it sort of hazes, and then you buff like crazy to get the glass perfectly clear again.

+1 on Hydro. Amazing stuff.

Awesome thanks for the help

Ken- I have tried using hydro on the windshield but water doesnt bead up as well and the hydro doesnt last that long. I think its because I have been using regular wiper blades and they are prob more abrasive on the windshield than silicone blades and in turn take the hydro off quicker.

I will def give hydro another shot on the windshield once I put on the PIAA blades. Ill Let you know how it turns out

Try Epic. I use it on all the glass and seldom even use the blades.
