Rain Repellent Glass Treatment - Aquapel Glass Treatment
Never used it..heard good things about it on TMC

Aquapel is good stuff. I've used it for years and always topcoat it with Rain-X. This time I went without it as I needed something asap and didn't want to even wait for a 2 day delivery of Aquapel.

That video is the same as my experience, too.

I'm intrigued by the Amazon.com: Gtechniq G1 Clear Vision Smart Glass 15 ml: Automotive -- I've never tried it. Also, I want to try Rain-X silicon wiper blades, but haven't tried them, but hear good things here on the forums.

I like the idea of topcoating my Aquapel with Rain-X, which I've already been meaning to do, but haven't really needed to yet. If I get the Rain-X silicon wiper blades, that should be the same, I suppose.

The no-touch laser car wash I use in the Winter has a Rain-X option. Would it hurt my Opticoat?

I use the Rain-X spray. It works just fine.

unless you get overspray on the chrome and dont notice/clean it off, then it leaves spots like rust -_-

So I just read the owners manual and it clearly says don't use anything but regular wiper fluid in the reservoir:
Caution: Do not add formulated washer fluids that contain water repellent or bug wash. These fluids can cause streaking, smearing, and squeaking or other noises.

Thoughts? Experiences?

I had bad results with Glassparency treatment ($300 for all windows). Result is film and studdering wipers. Anyone with experience?

I used rainx on my new car. Cleaned the windshield earlier not with alcohol though. I had big problem of wiper chatter when it is on. You dont need to switch it on mostly but when its on it feels like it will break because of it. Its making wipers stick on the windshield. I stopped using rainx but still i think there some residue because i could not remove it completely. Is there a way to remove rainx?

RainX is basically silicone. A strong degreaser like SuperClean or SprayNine should do the trick.
