Default Why I like PPG Aquapel

This was taken almost 6 months from the date of application.


Sitting at the light while raining.

Going through the intersection


I'm now beyond 9 months and it is gone but this has been a rough winter with lots of washer fluid used.

very good prices on ebay, thats where i got mine as well

application question: after applying, do you remove it with a paper towel (as recommended), or with your normal microfiber/glass cleaning towels?

terahertz - one will do your entire S2k

CalBear07 - I try to stay away from paper towels as they can scratch our windshields. I use MF.

I use rainX in my old car. While it was great, it also ate my windshield blades. Has anybody tried PIAA Super Silicone Wiper Blades?

I have used them. I think regular blades with aquapel works much better.
