Has anyone heard of and/or used this stuff? What do you think? Did it work? Cleaning glass and keeping it clear is the biggest headache (except for keeping the boot clean). Thanks

 

Yes, it's great stuff! I've used it for years and it lasts a lot longer than Rain-X. Just be sure that your windshield is perfectly clean before application and that includes removing old Rain-X. No Touch Auto Glass Stripper works fine or even Bon Ami.

I get my Aquapel through eBay. A bit cheaper than what Tire Rack is asking.

 

It was design for aircraft, now it's marketed to us! Works Great, Just don't put it on if you have a rock chip. The windshield repair guy's can't fix it if it has this type stuff in it.

 

AquaPel is a great product but not woth the money that a dealer will charge to apply. Fortunately it is readily availabe on eBay and really easy to apply yourself. Besure the your windshield is really clean and follow the directions.

Lasts about 6 months and is as good as RainX. There's some re-braded applicators out there that are exactly the same but even cheaper if you can find some.

searocko mentioned using Bon Ami to clean the windshield...any chance that it would cause some fine scratches?

Aquapel.....branded as STP windshld treatment?....what happens if you have a chip in the windshield?..I have two

 

I've used Bon Ami in the past with a wet cloth and never experienced scratching. I've used it mainly to get rid of stubborn water spots. There have been reports of scratching by some but others swear by it. And there's two different types of Bon Ami detailed here. Here's more suggestions on Rain-X removal.

I've used STP Visionblade and it is the same thing, right down to the applicator. If you have large bullseye chips, you'd be best to have them filled in beforehand. Don't worry about the small nicks.

 

I used the STP version on my last windshield and it did last at least six months. I now have a new windshield so I guess I should get some more.

Got it on e-bay for around $5.
