    Re: What's better than Rain-X?

    My rain-X application is holding up really well here in Michigan. Granted our winter has been fairly mild. I'm happy with the results thus far.

    Re: What's better than Rain-X?

    At one time or another I think everyone's tried Rain-X and for the most part it does work but I've never had it last more than a few weeks here in New England.

    One product I tried and continue to use to this day is Aquapel.

    Aquapel is easy to use and provides me with 5 to 6 months solid protection through a long hard winter in New England. I've tried others and always end up going back to Aquapel.

    Love Rain-X. Always used it on my personal whips. I'm not sure exactly how long it'll last tho in winter.

    Found a three or four year old bottle of it and gave er a shake. Used it and it worked the way it always does!

    I'd be open to trying Aquapel too tho.

    Rain-X gets me through the Michigan winters easily.

    I usually use whatever cleaner product that i'm using on the paint. lately it's been XMT carnauba finishing glaze.

    I also use stoner products as well. Worked great so far!

    I applied Aquapel today. I was stressed cause it hazed up so bad when I started wiping it off. It was easy, looks crystal clear, we'll see about durability. I think I paid $5 each so it's probably not far off Rainx.

    Stoner products work great. I use their Invisible Glass aerosol spray.

    I agree. While we dont get too cold up here (northern cali), I find Rain X's durability around 3 weeks before I have to re-apply. Doesnt rain a whole lot here though.

    Gtechniq G1 Clear Vision Smart Glass 100 ml.

    Applied to my daily and my wifes 6 months ago. Has been great on all the window excluding the windshield. Longevity on the windshield was around 4 months.

    The $65 was enough to cover 2 SUV, 3 cars and a quad cab truck.
    Havent tried Rainx in well over a decade.
    Want to try aquapeal.
