| RainX car wash and stuff??? yea,.....whos used it and how did it work out??!! | |
|
Got my annual "Pulled over for not using my wiper's" the other evening. I just got pulled over the other evening by a rook police officer, because I was not using my wipers during a VERY light rain. Granted I had my lights on but I use RAIN-X so I don't have to use my wipers unless it is pouring its gluteous maximus off. Needless to say, when he came up to my window and asked me "Do you know why I pulled you over?", I said "Because I was being such a good driver you wanted to thank me." He laughed and said "No you were not using you wipers, you need to turn them on.", I then said "But I use Rain-X on my windshield.", He in turn said "Does that stuff work, Oh, nevermind, just drive safe." I was only about a mile from the hospital that I work at, so I could do nothing but laugh, and so did my co-workers (which one of them knew the rook) Point is I get pulled over at least once a year during the summer / fall season because of the wiper laws in PA. Does anyone else get (gotten) pulled over because of not using your wiper. Odie |

Seems silly that it would be a primary offense (i.e. a reason to be pulled over), but in MD we're required to have our lights on in the rain, as well. -juice |

| My 2003 Subaru is a great car, my only problems are tires wearing unevenly,(probably just needs alignment and not to be loaned to Ex) and most annoying for an audio book addict, the radio will not turn on. I think it still has a (library) CD in its maw. Has anyone else had a problem w/ 2003 radio dying after 2 years? The fuse is not the problem, the light around the outside of the radio comes on when headlights do, but the push button will not turn on the radio or CD player. Clueless Luddite,brbnru1 | |

We recently bought a foreclosed house. I went in to clean the master bathroom mirror and without knowing, discovered that there was something on it. I am assuming the people used RainX or a product similar. I have cleaned over and over again with Windex, and it is nothing but a streaky mess. Any help would be appreciated. You would think that Windex would cut it, but NOPE - only made it worse! HELP!

Replying to: terryb1 (Jun 17, 2005 1:47 pm) I usually use a bit of vinegar in water, or a drop of dish detergent in water, but I'm not trying to get RainX off the glass. And sometimes it's hard to clean the glass above the dash; all those plastics outgassing can coat the glass. I also have a clay bar, and that works on glass just like it does the sheet metal.

Try goo-gone, maybe. Painters use a rag moistened with paint thinner to clean up before painting, but that is harsh so be very careful and try a small spot first. Nail polish remover is even more harsh and should remove anything but I'd also test a small area to see if it does any damage. -juice |
