Specifications
I've been driving for years, and I've always been annoyed by the flapping and streaks on my windshield when it's raining. I've tried all sorts of products, but most of them just didn't cut it. That's why I was excited to try Aquapel Anti-Rain Windshield Treatment, a product that promises to keep your windshield clear and streak-free in any weather conditions.
As a car enthusiast, I've scoured the internet for reviews on Aquapel, but unfortunately, there aren't many. So, I decided to write my own review, based on my experience with the product. I hope it'll be helpful to others who are considering trying it out.
Where I bought it: I purchased Aquapel from IM AgmaShop, a reputable online retailer. The packaging was cardboard-plastic, with all the necessary information on usage and the manufacturer's promises.
Manufacturer's promises: The manufacturer's promises are quite rich, to be honest. They claim that Aquapel will guarantee perfect visibility while driving and keep your windshield clean in any weather conditions, as well as protect against rain, snow, ice, and insect residue.
Manufacturer's promises and usagePrice: The price of Aquapel is 550 rubles, which is a bit steep, but I think it's worth it.
My experience with it: As you can see from the instructions, it's easy to use, even my girlfriend could do it. Essentially, it's like a sponge with a reservoir filled with liquid.
Let's break down the promises and what actually happened.
It's supposed to guarantee perfect visibility while driving and keep your windshield clean in any weather conditions, as well as protect against rain, snow, ice, and insect residue.
After applying Aquapel, my windshield did develop a protective coating that repelled water, especially noticeable when driving on a busy highway with mud and debris flying from the cars in front of me.
I intentionally left one area untreated to see if it was worth buying in the future or just another overhyped product. All photos were taken in rainy weather.
At first glance, it's clear where the windshield treatment is and where it's not.
Check out the photo below - you can see how bad the visibility is on the untreated section. The rainwater's all murky and distorted, and it's like a mess on the Aquapel-treated corners. When the rain gets heavy, the untreated section just becomes a big ol' water spot.
Aquapel does an amazing job of keeping the rain out, even on those annoying drizzly days where the windshield's all covered in tiny water droplets that the wipers just smear around. It's like magic - the water beads up and rolls right off, leaving your view clear as a bell.
Check out how easily the water beads roll off the windshield. This photo was taken with the car parked.I've even tested it in the snow, and the water just disappears instantly. As for ice, I couldn't say for sure - it didn't stick around long enough to find out.
The rainwater beads up and rolls right off the windshield, without spreading out into those annoying rivulets. It's a game-changer for visibility in bad weather - the difference is night and day.
Low speedIt reduces the need for windshield wipers, especially at speeds over 70 km/h.
With Aquapel, you don't have to worry about your windshield getting all streaked and smeared - even in heavy rain, it's a breeze to keep your view clear. I mean, it's not like you'll never need to use your wipers again, but you'll definitely be using them a lot less.
High speedSticky insects are easily removed with a damp cloth, without the need for special cleaning products.
And get this - Aquapel even protects against bugs! Those pesky little critters that somehow manage to land on your windshield? They just slide right off, no problem. No more scrubbing away with a bug and tar remover - just a quick wipe with a damp cloth and they're gone.
Another big plus for Aquapel is its long-lasting effect. The manufacturer claims:
After a single treatment, I didn't have any issues with visibility for months – it's a 6- to 12-month window, depending on how you drive.
I was blown away by that timeframe, but in reality, it's more like the effectiveness starts to wear off around the 5-month mark. You might get 6 months out of it, but it's a stretch to say it'll last that long.
Keep in mind, I've washed the car multiple times during this period, and the coating still looked great.
About
Not creating glare from oncoming cars' headlights.
Hands down, yes. I used Aquapel on my front headlights (plastic) and side windows – it's like having a clear windshield.
The only downside is that you need to use the entire packaging right away after opening it. You can't store it once it's been opened, but since the packaging is small, I'm not docking a star for that.
The Verdict: Can you protect your windshield from rain, splashes, and even glare from oncoming cars? Absolutely! I highly recommend Aquapel for its effectiveness. It repels rain and splashes, and the water rolls off in droplets. Visibility improves in bad weather, and the coating doesn't get all murky. The product adheres well to my wiper blades, and the action lasts a long time.
I hope this review helps you decide whether to buy Aquapel or not.
