I`m down to my last Aquapel appicator...

Used to love love this stuff....ordered it by the cases.

With the advent of WOWO sealants, $ per product ratio as well, I supposed Optiseal, BFWD, etc that is in my stash...Aquapel $ per ratio seems to be a expensive solutions.

Aquapel is still a lot more durable than a wax or paint sealant. I still use Aquapel.

really....interesting.

Just curious, have you done *testing* on it comparatively....

BFWD is pretty durable enough for me. never used it on the windshield

I have used BFWD on the sides when I have applied it to paint

I havent found anything that works quite as good as Aquapel.

Aquapel is without peer.

I agree aquapel is very good. I currently have aquapel on my truck and think it works well and it`s still going strong even after having applied it mid summer. On the other vehicles in the family I applied Gtechniqs G1 on the windshields and G3 on all the other glass. I might have to give the edge to G1 as it just seems to start working at a slower speed and it`s ability to last for up to two years ( I`ll let you know ). It`s more expensive than aquapel so we`ll see how things pan out but it is a very good product at least so far.

A big +1 on that, I have recently tried Opti-Seal and though it worked short term it did not do as good as a job as Aquapel and it lasted maybe a month. What ever is in Aquapel it allows it to stand up to the friction caused by wipers. Sealants and waxes don`t do well with wipers dragging across them.

Aquapel is all i use for windshields, for me it can`t be beat, also good for giving windshield wiper motors a longer lifespan. :spot

Still using it here, havent found anything to replace it yet! On some German sites they seem to advertise a similar sort of product but i havent found it easy to purchase to Aquapel it is!
