Speaking of Aquapel.. I found a box of 4 applicators.. from 2014.. no chance it still works HAHA

Glaco from Japan is better

after you apply aquapel, does your windshield fog up regularly?

I have applied seal and shine to windshield before, rain just slides off, barely even needed to use wipers but the problem is the foggy windshield, never applied anything to windshield after that

No fog issues. Not sure if it matters but I have ceramic tint on the windshield too for heat rejection. Aquapel instructions was to buff it clear after wiping excess, but then the y changed instructions to just let the haze go away by itself. I tried this and it made application so much easier.

I've heard about Glaco. How is it better? Durability? Ease of application?

Aren't we supposed to buff the windshield a bit after applying Aquapel / RainX? I seem to recall that the windshield would have a tendency to haze up (not fog up) if you don't.

The one time I tried RainX the instructions said to run the wipers on high for a bit after. I assume that was a noob friendly buffing method.

Here's the updated instructions that state no buffing required. Tried it and it worked great. Made application a breeze.


Take the leap of faith. It works!

But having a freshly RainX-ed / aquapelled windshield in the rain is just so much fun~!

(and honestly, I'd say it works waaaay better than windshield wipers)

How long does it tend to last per application?

I'd say a solid 6 months. I use wipers still, but wipers with treated windows is still better visibility than no treatment. My eyes are getting old.

Omg look at all this gay ass requirements to prep your bullshit beetle if you don’t drive it for 2 weeks. Typical German trash… overly complicated for nothing.



This is the ugliest thing Alive. Looks like hannible lecter or brace face.

The solution, of course, is to drive the car regularly so if one of you guys need your GTS to be taken care of I volunteer, at no charge, to keep your GTS operable. I'll even come to your house to pick it up and I will park it inside.

Also, while the warnings are silly (they probably should have added a charge port for this stuff) this is kinda like complaining that your girlfriend, Anas de Armas, can't cook so therefore you're breaking up with her.

No big deal, you just need to have a climate controlled garage with a dyno and exhaust ducting so you can run it enough without having to take it outside.
