Change History

I find just by regularly using the windshield spritzers during while it's raining , there's a somewhat adequate amount of water rejection. As an experiment, I've applied the RainX wash with a spray bottle, just so as to have an initial coating. It hasn't rained enough lately to see if this is useful. There's something called Aquapel that has some claim to lasting longer than RainX, but going by various user reviews, seems to be a pia to apply. When I first got the 981, I had some sort of glass treatment applied to the windshield by the dealer, but found it to be ineffective. It's supposed to help prevent chipping, too, and while the windshield has been subject to some pretty hard hits without damage, I was hoping it would prevent the fine pitting that Porsche windshields get. It doesn't seem to have made a difference here either, at 45,000 miles I think it's just as bad as what my 986 had at this mileage. Still may try Aquapel some day.
