#121 of 193 Good Stuff by beazle Oct 04, 2002 (9:46 am)
I have been using Rain-X on my windshield for about 3 years. I will always put on a fresh coat before a trip. I have NEVER EVER had any streaking problem with wipers afterwards. I will religiously clean the windshield and wipers with Windex before I apply it. Maybe that's the difference. I also use Rain-X squirt juice if I can find it.   The Rain-X anti-fog stuff in the black bottle is great too. I don't use it inside the car, but if you are a hunter or XC skier and wear glasses, try it! It's the only glasses anti-fog stuff I have found that lasts all day, even in spring turkey season. I keep a small rag saturated with the stuff in a ziplock bag if I need to renew it, but have hardly ever needed it. Any other crap I have tried lasted only about 20 minutes.

I tried the anti-fog stuff a while back and the windows still fogged up.   But the regular Rain X works well for me. Go figure.   -juice

Rain X is great but the anti-fog stuff sux in my opinion. The easiest way to apply RainX with no hazing is to apply two coats liberally on the windshield, wait 5 minutes and then just wash your windshield while you are washing your car. Use a good car wash soap and just wash your windshield. Been proven by several people to never leave a haze. Guarantee it.

I used the anti-fog and the windows fogged up badly in the first rain. I think it was actually worse than without it. Yikes.   I use regular Rain X on the outside and love it.   -juice

Rainx is the best water repellant. I've been using it for over 10 years now. Even though you have to keep reapplying it, it is still by far the best solution. Works best when the glass has been thoroughly cleaned before applying.
#127 of 193 I love RainX. by americanflag Mar 01, 2003 (9:30 pm)
One thing no one mentioned is how peaceful it is to not have the windshield wipers knocking back and forth in front of your field of vision all the time.   The only drawback is that it must be reapplied about every 3 months for maximum benefit. But then, this reminds me it is time to rewax my car too!
#128 of 193 flag... by declansdad Mar 02, 2003 (2:11 am)
I'm with you. The last time I had an opportunity to RainX my windows was back in November. The stuff is still doing it's job (except on the windshield). This winter had been exceptionally wet here in the mid-atlantic and I'm sure glad I got a coat on the cars.   Just can't wait for a sunny day above 45 degrees F.   Michael
#129 of 193 rinse it out! by peachy1 Apr 28, 2003 (4:02 pm)
in order to prevent smearing, which a lot here seems to have a problem with, you HAVE to use a very wet (soaked) towel to basically rinse the "hazed" rain-X. it's super easy to remove the "hazed" X. i made this mistake once when i was a novie... that was many many yrs ago. i love this product. another way is just spray the damn windshield w/ water from a hose.... then wipe it dry with a very damp cloth.
#130 of 193 other rain-x stuff by odie6l Apr 30, 2003 (3:03 pm)
did anyone else see they now have a Rain-X Carwash and spray-on wax. I wonder how good this stuff works?   Has anyone tried it, and if so, how did it work?   Odie
