BUT it leaves streaks where the drips roll off on the side windows, so you just have to wash those off if you care |

yup, same here. I do a hand rub once or twice a year, and use the orange fluid rest of the time peeps gotta know if you use rain-x hand-rubbed you have to buff the bezeejus out of it to work out the swirls...but it is time well spent |

Several years ago I got a decent deal on Aquapel. But before applying it I searched forums for opinions. Several people mentioned that their windshields chipped more easily after applying. Some guy even had a theory about why Aquapel caused a weakening of the glass. I ignored it thinking it was merely circumstantial. I applied the Aquapel and sure enough I got a lot more chipping on my windshield. (Oh, how I hate trucks on the highway who let their load of dirt and stone fly all over the place.) Yes, it could have been chance for me, too.
But now I just stick with Rain-X window washer fluid and I have never been happier. |

Aquapel absolutely rocks...got some with my last set of new wiper blades. BTW, you can get it for less than $10 an application now and close to $5 if you buy it in quantity...just look around.
Also - I just put this on another string but some of you may be interested since its windshield related... My Discovery Of The Day!!: The Toyota Yaris' 14" passenger side replacement windshield wiper is very hard to find in the newer-style beam blades. The 12" rear is also very hard to find because its a special rear blade that fits the special rear arm. After exhaustive research, I've only found one aftermarket set-up that works: 'Trico NeoForm Beam Blades' on the front (yes, they have a 14") and 'Trico Exact Fit Rear Integral Blade' on the rear. All of the above come with step-by-step, illustrated removal and replacement instructions - easy install. Got the whole set-up online.
