Originally a proprietary product of PPG Industries, the Aquaple is now owned by Pittsburgh Glass Works. PPG is one of the top 500 companies in the United States, has been listed on the world's top 500 for 51 consecutive times, and in the first half of 2017, it is ahead of Sherwin-Williams and AkzoNobel in the big three, becoming a brother in the paint industry.
The main ingredient of Aquaple rain protection agent is fluorine-containing polymer, which forms a chemical bond with the glass, and the resulting protective film is also stronger, and the rain will fly away very smoothly at speeds of more than 40 kilometers per hour. Aquaple lasts longer than Rain-X's silicone-based rain repellent and Turtle's rain wax, and the effect of Aquaple lasts for more than 60 days, even when wipers are used every time it rains.
The unit price of Aquaple is about 45 yuan, disposable, one can paint the front windshield, two side windows and two rearview mirrors, but even if it is Aquaple, the problem of jumping scraping is also widespread, so it is not recommended to use it on the front windshield. PIAA's coated wipers are the best choice for the front windshield, rain repellent such as Aquaple for the side windows, mirrors and rear windshield, and if you are on a budget, you can also try Sandoli's coated wipers, which are very cost-effective, or wash the oil film on the front windshield frequently, and the effect is also very obvious.
