Aquapel

At Moab, I gave several boxes of Aquapel away at the group dinner. Just wondering if anyone applied it. I put mine on in Feb, still beads water, getting ready to do it again. It rains here pretty much everyday, and still beads, take that one month lasting Rainx!!!!!

Well

my back to black shined everything to like new and still looks great after a year of rain. We have had at least 1 to 2 inches this year.

was a wet year. Funny thing is we had almost daily flood warnings. I havent actually seen standing water out here yet. I have only been here 1.5 years. I am waiting to see a puddle and all the natives got insane and flood the stores for water

Dont make me laugh. I had a company in AK want to interview me for a job. I said I was doubtful of the weather. They pretty much said they have 3 good months a year if you do not mind mosquitos the size of a piper cub.

Really, all those I gave away and no feedback?! Lesson learned...well, for those that are interested, it is similar to Rainx as far as the results, only it lasts for several months. Same stuff the Navy uses on Jet windshields. Good luck finding it though. I bought a whole box when I found it, they go for around 5-10 dollars an application. Really nice in the winter, you just hit the ice, and it shatters right off.

I meant in a store, ,kind of like Back to Black, I had to go to several stores before I found someone that carried it.

I may have to try that stuff... down here in tropical storm/hurricane land, it may be just the ticket.

I found Aquapel at the local Advance Auto Parts, for 3 bucks a box. It's good stuff.

Patience man, I need about a week to dig through all the posts! The itch will get scratched, eventually.. maybe...

I got one of your thingymajoolee-whatevers at Moab, I applied it about a month ago. Didn't really see a big difference from Rain-x; tho' it looks to last a lot longer. I do notice that it doesn't take much to clean the bugs off - either with rain or wiper fluid.

As a test I put it on and wiped off one side of the screen soon, and gave the other side a minute to haze - then buffed and buffed. I don't see too much a difference in either side of the screen.

It's cool stuff.
Thanks again.
