STP Vision Blade or Aquapel?

Which is better, STP Vision Blade or Aquapel? I have tried Aquapel but can get STP Vision Blade on ebay at a reasonable price. I'm told the Vision Blade is better. Any experience with them?

I imagine this is something to put on your windshield to repel water?

Do we have designer wiper blades now? Maybe Martha Stewart can come up with a line of fuzzy blades.

Yes, it is something you put on your windshield. It is like Rain X only better. Lasts 6 months. No need to use the wipers for most speeds. It was first produced for the airline industry. Aquapel in only available at places like Jiffy Lube. Costs about $20-25 for a treatment. STP vision blade is no longer for sale. I guess they must have had a legal issue with Aquapel or something but it is available on ebay for about $5. You can find most anything on ebay!!!

The question was had anyone compared the 2 of them. I have used Vision Blade but not Aquapel. I still have not gotten an answer. I didn't ask you to use it but if you did use it you would never go back to Rain X.
I can now see why some people have so many posts. They will post to any and all threads whether they have something to add to the conversation or not.

Is that like Wimpy in the Popeye cartoons? I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a burger today.

Hmm....maybe, I could always explain the situation, I prefer buyin stuff myself, but this month it is not possible at no fault of my own. I cannot so much as afford food right now. To know the severity of my situation, Finance decided not to hand over the full paycheck this month, I guess Uncle Sam was broke.....I have been shorted over 1k so far, seeing as how I get paid only 1800, 1k is alot

Sorry to go off topic like this

Having been in the aftermarket and car biz. Just save your money. Both are gimmicks. Just buy a good set of wiper blades once a year. Bosch are good but so are others like Trico.

I beg to differ. I know Vision Blade is no gimmick. I guess you think waxing a vehicle is a waste of money also. Rain X is ok but Vision Blade makes the need for wipers almost nil.
