I finally got around to applying the Aquapel to my Mustang windows. A few notes:
1. I used Liquid Glass PreCleaner to remove the Zaino and Liquid Glass from all the windows. It is a very easy product to apply with a terry applicator, just like you are waxing a car. Wax on, wax off. Buffs off super easy with a terry towel.
2. I then washed the windows with Stoners and buffed them until I was sure there were no smudges or stuff that might get sealed under the Aquapel.
3. One Aquapel applicator was enough to go around the car once to get full coverage of the windows. I applied to all windows, then wiped off with a dry paper towel. It is fairly easy to buff off, but as it was drying, it became a bit more difficult as I went around the car. Maybe you should do one window then buff and proceed like that, but I was afraid that the applicator might dry out faster that way. I was able to get a thin (pushing it) second application to the front windshield before the juice ran dry. So it was good for 2 coats on windshield, one coat others. Remember, this is a convertible 2 door Mustang. Rear sides, and rear windshield are very small. Maybe I applied too much on the front windshield the first coat.....
4. Once it is buffed out....nice reflective shine. I am not sure yet, but I think it may have made some of the wiper marks and rock chips less visible. I will have to see in different lighting situations.
5. It is nice and sunny out, so I can`t comment on how the stuff actually works! But I could tell by the way it coated, that there is something definitely there. Feels dry to the touch. No slickness to it.
So there you have it.... I will update when it rains and the garage queen get caught with her pants down....
