Cleaning windows - Aquapel / RainX
Always used to use RainX on old cars, works ok but wears off quite quickly.
Has anyone come across this product Aquapel ?
Aquapel
Seems to get good reviews if you do a search, just wondering if it's better than silicone wiper blades - the blades I've got on at moment were crap from the day I bought them from halfrauds I think my screen needs a good wipe down.
What's the best glass cleaner to use to remove built up grime (in half the time) - isopropyl alcohol ?
Cheers.

Yes loads of it. I've done 2 cars (not screenwash as both still got original Holts stuff to use up) and plenty left in both bottles of cleaner and protect coat. I used a microfibre cloth tp apply it.

I think it was in Which? (don't qoute me) they testedhalf a dozen rain repellants.
The one that was best was the MER "Rainoff" or sometning like that.
Sorry so vague, but I use Mer on the Scoob (the car polish that is) always comes up well.
Hope this helps.
