    Wearing a Huge Nascar Belt Buckle, applied it just like I did, after all the instructions are pretty clear, less words than this post in fact. Still it is a product I just dont get.



    Maybe I should see a $40 bottle of pro wheel cleaner? It doesn`t do the job any better but thats because its for use by Pros?



    No offense but I have a lot of expertise, im an aviation technician, the directions are pretty straight forward, it wasn`t me, the product was all hype IMO.



    Your mileage may vary, cars and slope of the window may vary but for me it was a bad use of my detailing funds.



    I am curious though, how would a pro eliminate wiper smear or skip, even their own literature admits this will happen?


    I`ve never seen wiper smear/skip.... Well, I did all the time, but then I applied Aquapel and it all went away for good... I wonder if there are different versions of Aquapel? I just don`t understand why yours wouldn`t have worked... I`ve had it on a `92 VW Jetta, `99 GMC Savanna, `91 GMC Vandura (My truck), `00 Merc C230, `03 Nissan Murano, `03 Toyota Echo, and a `86 Pontiac Fiero.. Any time I get above 60km/h, I don`t need to use the wipers at all, and if I do, the vision is 900x better than without wipers...



    Hell, in rainstorms I see people slowing down with their wipers on high all around me, and I can see clearly as daylight...



    Oh well, we`ll leave it for the people that want it :werd:

    I found a good supplier in Canada for Aquapel.



    If you compared it to the ridiculous shipping prices from the states this works out to be a excellent deal without having to order bulk quantities.



    I`ve ordered from this auction before and shipped out fast from within Canada. Also if you email them they can supply different quantities as I wanted more then 2 and ordered 4 units for my 2 cars.



    Any of the other auctions for aquapel are in the U.S and shipping for 1 or 2 units is like $25 bucks!!



    This one is $5 shipping and the aquapel work out to about $7.50 each. Not bad. Two per car is all I need for a years supply.



    Aquapel Rocks, lasts soo much longer, Rainx only lasts a few weeks. I couldn`t be bothered applying that rainx so often.



    I`ve created a tiny url to the ebay auction. Check it out and order some for yourselves 2 AQUAPEL WINDSHIELD TREATMENTS Repels Rain better and longer then Rainx | eBay

    Not meant to "bead", it is designed to "shed" the water from the surface as any good "sealant" type product should.

    Beading is no longer an indicator of performance.
