A Google search of "aquapel" will show a link to PPG's website with all the info on the product.

I've spoken to several users/sellers and I'm told that Aquapel doesn't bleed or dissolve into rock chips the way Rain-X does. Also, it lasts longer. Depending on how often it rains in your part of the country. In Eugene, 3 to 6 months, in my very dry climate (Colorado) at least 6 months.

I'm setting up a customer tracking file where I will contact these customers every 6 months for a reapplication.

I'm waiting for a case to arrive, should be here tomorrow.

I haven't quite decided how to sell it. Whether to use it as an inducement, i.e., "free with repair", or as an add on sell. I do want to at least recover my cost, which is 5.00 per app. I'm leaning toward selling the repair first, then upselling the windshield treatment for 14.95/19.95. While I'm repairing the chip, I can have the customer looking over the brochure while we talk about the safety features.

I'm also contemplating a strategy for selling to fleet owners/managers.

The strongest selling point, I believe, is, "when it's raining, this hydrophobic coating on your windshield can give you up to 1 full second of added reaction time in traffic".
