#141 of 193 flyguy4 by flyguy4 Oct 04, 2005 (10:52 am)
My brilliant nephew, trying to please,..........applied original Rain X to the inside of the windshield on my Suburban. After trying all of the cleaners in my kitchen and garage, I've had no luck getting it removed to a point where it's not streaked. Any help with my problem.........short of replacing the glass, would be appreciated.  Thank you.................flyguy4 Replies to this message: ateixeira (Oct 04, 2005 12:06 pm)

#143 of 193 Re: Preventing chatty wipers / reducing haze [terryb1] by wired2 Nov 09, 2005 (7:36 am)
Replying to: terryb1 (Jun 17, 2005 1:47 pm) I had the same problem. In October this year I took a trip to Florida and it rained all the way down. My wipers made one hell of a noise, chatty. When I was in Florida I was at a Wall Mart store and was talking to someone in the Automotive section about this problem. A young guy was standing behind me and over heard our conversation. He suggested that I get the product Rainx and a real good set of wiper blades, cannot not recall the the name of the blades but I think that it had something to do with rain. But with the new wipers and the Rainx it was pure pleasure driving back home in the rain, no chatting. This is a very good product. I have not had any problems with haze or streaks or blur. The secret is that once it has dried to a haze, spray water on it and use a paper towel and wipe until it is very clear. It worked for me. I now have a question, if you wash your car does this remove the Rainx? If not how often must you apply it? Is it available in Canada?

If so, do you like it or recommend it. Replies to this message: steve_ (Nov 10, 2005 9:51 am) ateixeira (Nov 10, 2005 9:58 am)

Replying to: jeep1988 (Nov 10, 2005 6:31 am) For me it works great, especially on the rear and side windows. Water tends to bead right off.   In the front you can get some wiper chatter, plus fine water droplets are missed by the wipers. Overall, though, I'd still say it stays more clear than it would without RainX.   -juice

Replying to: terryb1 (Jun 17, 2005 1:46 pm) I called Shell who sells RainX and they recommend using SoftScrub. It may take some elbow grease because it is a polymer which has bonded to the surface of the glass.   btw they recommend applying only very thin application of RainX for the best results and prior to application make sure the glass is clean especially of any cleaning chemicals.

#149 of 193 RainX effect doesn't last anymore Thoughts? by gkm1 Feb 05, 2006 (10:25 am)
I love RainX and have been using it for years. However, the last several applications have only lasted about a week before returning to a smeery windshield. I thought it might be due to a new formulation. (The instructions on the bottles now tell you to only apply one coat.) SO I tried an old bottle I had. Same thing. The RainX effect still only lasted about a week.   I'm diligent about cleaning and drying the windshield before applying. Really haven't changed anything about my application style. Anyone have a suggestion? Replies to this message: ateixeira (Feb 06, 2006 9:15 am)

Replying to: gkm1 (Feb 05, 2006 10:25 am) Could it be build-up?   I might try a cleaner that'll strip any residue off the windows first. I'm not sure what specific product to suggest, though.   -juice
