After RainX and Aquapel I´m using now MATROXX BLUE which is the worlds only real Glass Impregnation for Glass.The big difference to all this nano coating or sealing like Aquapel or RainX or whatever is: MATROXX is not a nano coating or sealing which do usally loose their effect after couple of weeks. Matroxx has the same effect like day 1 since 6 months and is also NOT using toxic ingredients like flouropolymers which are forbidden already in europe.
Try this, It is better than both of these products. Wash your window and dry it. Apply car wax paste. Let it dry and wipe off. It beads ten times better than this rip off shit.You will not need your wipers and you dont have to increase your speed to get the water to bead off. Ha, I said bead off. Anyway you will love this,low cost Idea and the wax lasts twice as long as stainex or aquasmell
when I bought my new vehicle it had some great stuff like this but even worked better... even at slow speeds the water just ran right off the windshield
hydrophobic products are old school. Super hydrophobic products are much better now days. Nano diamond shield is a great example of what superhydrophobic products can do.
@camarosource Dude, check out the end of the video. You can clearly see where the RainX on the right is worn out and the Aquapel on the left is still sort of intact. Even more apparent at the 31 or so day mark.
@Coogah88 Camera pointed DIRECTLY towards UNTREATED parts, You cannot see difference. Left side (Rain-X) has LIT UP, right (Aquapel) is dark. result, dark shows rain drops, left makes transparent.
IOW: Not a good comparison. Conditions different on each side of windshield to properly see a comparison for both sides.
@camarosource The beginning of the video mentioned that the center is untreated. He's driving too so he isn't going to have an opportunity to move the camera for us to the perfect angles. So of course it's going to point to the middle of the windshield.
Prolly not the best comparison because it is a real-life demonstration, so yeah it's not very controlled. But I think it's a decent review because you can clearly see the two sides working at different speeds, even if you have to look hard.
100%, first thing you do with this video is define what we are looking at. You don't wait till later in the video to tell us the middle is untreated. FIRST thing means first thing. Define what is where.
Aquapel was bought out by Trico Industries and is now called "Trico View". If you go to wipers123com, there is a product info page. Also, right now they are running an excellent sale on it for spring 2011. Time to stock-up!! fyi
@smczack1 Yes I did the same thing, you see I ride a motorbike and my visor is plastic so I merely put two drops of Rain x in my left eye and two drops of Aquapel in my right eye and ran straight up the arse of a truck.
either way, its better than not having it at all. i just put some on today because the Xterra has some crappy wipers and they make it hard to see even at a standstill. especially since they dont have the speed setting on the wipers like american cars do
that was an awesome demonstration, i been using rain-x for 3 years now and i found it amazing, now you gange my mind, i should try other stuff, unfortunately i can't find aquapel here in france.
lol shit like this is pointless and a waste of money.

Winshield cleaners are still needed. RainX and the other one aren't good enough yet.
