Aquapel is professional a product for application to external glass surfaces with an anti-rain effect (increases the water-repellent properties of the surface). The original Aquapel is a fluoropolymer and penetrates deeply into the surface structure of the glass, unlike fakes and liquids based on mixtures of paraffin, wax and White Spirit, which only create a short-lived surface layer of pseudo-anti-rain. Aquapel increases safety and improves visibility in any situation. The coating allows water to flow freely from the glass and does not allow dirt to linger on it, facilitating the rapid removal of ice, snow and dried insect residues. Country of origin - USA. Company PPG Industries, the manufacturer of Aquapel, has specialized in the production of protective chemical coatings and durable paints for over 100 years. The Aquapel product first appeared on the market in 1997.
