You have had good results with this product???

Go to your local auto glass dealer and ask for PPG Aquapel. It costs about $8 US per application, but lasts 6 months per application. Do an internet search on it. You can't buy it at retail, but my glass guy sells it to me. I don't use my wipers above 40mph.

Ok so this product im using is either a thumbs up or thumbs down ....what do most think of it?
After I applied it yesterday...my girlfriends son did his car and was fine, then did her Extera and it was a mess...
Plus I applied it on a damp day, would that be another reason?

Rain-X was the innovator. They have now been left in the dust. It needs to be applied with alot of elbow grease on a warm dry day to work best. If you want a product that works better and is easier to apply than Rain X, and can't get the PPG Aquapel, try "No Touch Rain Shield". You apply it to a WET windshield, then use the wipers to spread it. It lasts longer than Rain-X by a few days, and it works better. It stinks.....turn off your climate control for a couple minutes during application!
Before applying the PPG Aquapel, you need to completely clean the WS with glass polish......another reason the Rain-X may have boogered on you is if your windshield has micro-pits......just a thought.

rain-x
i successfully applied rain-x to all four of my cars in the past. but i had a saturn that had a lot of sand damage (tiny pitting) and it smears on rainy days. the windshield doesn't wipe cleanly. but at least i can see when it'* pouring.
