Aquapel® Glass Treatment is your chance to change the way drivers see the road in the rain. Developed and patented by PPG Industries, Inc., leaders in glass technology, Aquapel® Glass Treatment represents a unique product helping to promote safer driving and boating.

Designed for professional application on windshields, side windows, rear windows, glass mirrors, or any other glass surface, Aquapel® Glass Treatment is a long-lasting glass treatment that:

• Repels rain for remarkably improved vision
• Makes it easier to clear ice, snow, and even dirt and bugs
• Reduces glare in the rain, especially at night
• Helps seal glass to fight hard water marks


About the Product


Using technology innovated for the aviation industry, PPG’s Aquapel® Glass Treatment forms a chemical bond with the glass which increases water repellency, causing it to bead and easily shed off the glass. These fluorinated compounds apply in just minutes to a clean, dry windshield or any exterior glass surface, and last up to six times longer than silicon-based products.

Additionally, Aquapel® Glass Treatment remains highly effective after months of normal use, including driving in rain and snow, car washing, and glass cleaning.
