Attempted many things, but need help removing AquaPel on windshield

[optimusp517]

Applied AquaPel on my car to make it better on the windshield, now it chatters, what would I use to remove it? I want to just use Rain-X instead which I've had success with.

shouldn't a 50/50 mix of ipa/water do the trick?

 

[optimusp517]

I tried it, maybe I'll give it another shot.

APC might work as well

 

[MichaelSpoots]

Yeah, I was going to suggest APC 4:1 mixture. Whenever something needs to be removed...APC does a fair job .

PrepSol or wax remover

Did u try changing your wipers first? Then clean the windshield w/a good glass cleaner. Aquapel is great stuff.

 

[optimusp517]

I did. I'll try everything on the books and see. Weird thing is only one side of the wipers is chattering.

Find yourself a set of PIAA Super Silicone blades or inserts. I bet you'll be very happy with them with or without aquapel or RainX. My wipers were the noisiest I have ever heard. I tried everything, the dealer tried everything up to the point they were ready to replace the windshield (under warranty). Before that, I bought a set of the PIAAs and not a squeak, not a chatter, nothing since. They also clear the windshield as good if not better than anything else I've had and, it's been almost three years and I have no even started to think about replacing them. Still quiet, still clear as good as new.

I found the same question on another forum, so I email Aquapel tech support. I also ask them about using IPA as a prep to clean the glass prior to Aquapel application.

It is okay to clean the windshield with isopropyl alcohol first. Aquapel is a chemical bond with glass so the cleaner the windshield is the better the bond. As far as removing it, you can use a product called Bon Ami and that will take it off.

Get some BON-AMI from your grocery store. Make a paste by place it on a clean towel then add a touch off water. Scrub windshield and it will come out smooth and clean and will not scratch the glass.

It's your wiper arm alignment that's causing this...the arm/blade assembly is not "square" against the glass.





Yeah, these potions that folks are mentioning aren't going to touch the Aquapel. You'll need something abrasive to remove it.

Bon-Ami is abrasive. It will cut thru Aquapel to leave a fresh finish
