Aquapel Group Buy III - The return of the gunk

devonutopia · 01-05-2007, 13:50

It's time for GB no.3 - Or at least a feeler for it. I am basing this on the same scenario as the GB no.2, which went quite well and now all have gone / been reserved. I fully expect the same circumstances again.

OK - the product. If anyone remembers ombrello of old - this is the same stuff, only it costs a lot less when done through this group buy. Basically, I will take delivery of a box of 48 or 96 aquapels from the states, and pack them up in pairs, fours, sixes, whatever you want - and send them UK first class post. When this stuff is applied to a freshly clean (and dry) windscreen, it leaves a coating on it which makes water bead up, and once over about 30mph, it all heads north up the screen to leave a nice clear viewing area, with no need for wipers. Personally I recommend using two tubes to do the side windows and give the screen a double coating. Very easy to apply, as long as the screen is well cleaned and dried first.

This is what the stuff looks like. (weblink)

Aquapel® Glass Treatment

Payment options are numerous. Preferred will be Paypal simply as the emails tell me the posting address, plus it's instant and secure. I would ask for 20p+3.5% to cover fees though. I'm factoring in the customs charge on this GB which I had last time. There will be options for bank transfer / postal order / cheque / cash in post too,

The price will be £4.50 all in for each Aquapel. I'm going to say please only order in pairs as a minimum @ £9.00. For Paypal, please make this £9.64 for two. Obviously double/triple this up if you want four/six, and so forth.

Please start your interest like this:

"Name - Amount = Running total"

So for me this would be "1) Jason - 4 = 4" - and then go 2) so on, adding to the overall total.

Just adding in that the more you buy, the more the overall price drops due to economies on postage. Eg: With paypal:-

2 = £9.64
4 = £19.50
6 = £28.00
8 = £37.00

Any questions, give me a shout by PM or ask in here. The buy is not an offical BRISKODA orgainsed buy and therefore BRISKODA, CANNOT be held responsible for any wrong doing that may occur. I've masterminded two of these buys now, so think trust can be placed.

Hey,

Just logged on Briskoda again after a bit of a hiatus (weddings to organise & all that!) and spotted the previous GB for this... trawled through the whole thread only find they'd all gone! Then, lo, there was a Light and that Light was Utopia!

I'm in! Will need to pay by cheque or bank transfer as I don't use paypal (if that's ok?).

OldFlo - 2 = 2

devonutopia · 01-05-2007, 15:32

Yep - I forgot to add I won't risk getting lots in until I have a decent number. To get a box of 96 in like last time, I will need at least 50 aquapels requested.

Keep this going.

I won't risk getting a lot of this stuff in until it reaches 50 odd.

Just to help Jason with his sales pitch, here is a short video clip of me driving through heavy rain without needing wipers.
Rain is not exactly the easiest thing to film, but hopefully you can see how fast the water runs towards the top of the screen.
And if not - just believe me - its excellent stuff!

Changed my order to 4 and adjusted averyone accordingly

The girlfriend wants some for hers too!

pittVRS · 17-05-2007, 07:18

I bought some in the last GB and can heartily recommend it. I only wish I had double coated the front screen though, as suggested. I'd also recommend this miraculous potion for fellow saloon car Superb owners to place on their rear screens as a lack of rear wiper can be a pain. With Amazing Aquapel, the rear screen clears itsself in no time, and with the added benefit of reducing heart disease and also curing most forms of male impotence*

*(does clear screens, but has no health improving qualities whatsoever)

Haven't used the last lot up yet, but while there is a GB I'll stock up

Thanks Jason

devonutopia · 17-05-2007, 13:12

Cool - another 26 or more and I'll set about trying to get 96 in. If I use the same people as last time I can probably get a discount.

Purp23 · 17-05-2007, 13:39

I'll top myself up from the last GB

OldFlo · 21-05-2007, 11:45

Having looked at people's recommendations, and the double-coat windscreen bit etc, I think I shall p'chase another two if that's ok.... mine and the running totals amended below...

OldFlo - 4 = 4
daiking - 2 = 6
skudmissile- 4 = 10
sworrall - 2 = 12
spinndrift - 4 = 16
phlashbios - 4 = 20
Pythix - 6 = 26
Purp23 - 4 = 30

skudmissile · 30-05-2007, 18:39

I can see us waiting along time for this to finish

Free bump

devonutopia · 31-05-2007, 10:17

(again) - Well, I will make enquiries to get 48 only at the weekend, and if it's not much different to getting 96, I will go for it.
