I am currently thinking of buying Aquapel for the pre-winter detail of my cars. Since I am also getting my home ready for winter, I wanted to give it a try on a few of my house windows (once they are thoroughly cleaned, of course). Does anyone here have any experience with it for this application?

Thank you.

I am sure it would work but it would be very expensive. One tube does a windshield and maybe a side window or two. So one tube is like 5 dollars. You would need a tube of it for each window or two that you want to do. That would get very expensive and I am not really sure what the benefit is.
 
I think I am going to try this out, great idea!! Going to start with my back glass sliders! Another great product is Klasse, I have use Klasse AIO and then topped with Sealant Glaze on glass shower doors.

I was thinking about the cost also, but I was planning on being selective as to which windows would get the treatment. Probably french doors in the dining room and a couple of living room windows. Would like to keep them as clean and clear as possible, which would make the wife very happy. ;)

Yes, this is a great idea also. Especially since I cannot find 303 Shower Shield on AG's or 303's website anymore.
 
You can also use wax and/or sealant on windows as well. I used Collinite on the inside of our glass shower stall. It works fairly well and it's pretty durable. Much much cheaper than Aquapel. If you have those big sliding doors, I am thinking you might need more than one tube of Aquapel to do them. It really doesn't go very far. I am usually able to do my windshield and the two front windows and even then its running pretty dry by the time I am on the last one.
If you are going to do it, I would test it out on one area first. I don't know if it will really keep the window cleaner. My windshield still gets dirty with Aquapel on it. It just makes the rain water bead up and run off.
 
Ah yes, dirt. Something I haven't given enough consideration to. Thank you WickedLou. I shall give this more thought.
 
I try to use up my old detailing products that I have found better ones for on this type of thing (or as a member of another forum used to say, using products from my "Disgraced Products Shelf"). I have almost used up my circa-2003 bottle of Meg's Gold Class on the aluminum exterior cladding of my windows and doors, and my patio table.

But getting back to windows, I used to use Clearkote Vanilla Moose (not a disgraced product) on my windows. It was quick and easy, and kept the windows cleaner than not having anything on them. I would think something like AquaWax or another spray wax or sealant would be an easy way to do this. Meghan's suggestion of the Klasse twins would work well, also, especially since it's so hard to use up a bottle of SG!

I have shower doors that don't stay clean that long and just happen to have Klasse AIO. Thanks Megan. :xyxthumbs:
 
I mistakenly grabbed the bottle of Stoners Invisible Glass with the rain repellent in it when I was washing the outsides of our windows one time and I really regretted it.
Whenever we get a light rain with wind it blows just a little of the rain onto the windows. The repellant then keeps the rain in nice little drops so that when it dries there's spots in the dust all over the windows.
I guess if your windows get drenched in rain whenever it rains it wouldn't be bad but this stuff can't wear off my windows fast enough. They look terrible after every rain. Kind of like when your well waxed car with just the slightest bit of dust on it just gets a light sprinkling of water on it.
