Windshield Treatment Problem

[bladesmith6]

Pep Boys in my area is starting to sell a product similar to Aquapel, I think it is made by PPG Glass. I tried on the windshield and it is definitely holding up a lot longer than RainX ever did, no bad smears either.

I saw an episdoe of Shaetree machanic once, where they had this old car that was totally covered in years of tree crap and environmental garbage. They recommended using a product called "Bon Ami", that feels abrasive to the touch, but they insisted it was safe for glass. They did it, with water and such, and man, it was like crystal! Like a brand new winshield! Just food for thought

Good luck!

I tried the Aquapel stuff once and didn't do a thing. It didn't bead water at all. Rain-X works much better. The problem with Rain-X is it just doesn't last very long. I have to apply it at least every two weeks. The new stuff by PPG might be worth a try though.

I used the PPG stuff that comes in the single use applicator on my Envoy and it worked great. Didnt streak or leave a nasty residue and lasted a good 4 - 5 months. Its worth trying out.
