#182 of 193 Re: Okay, what really takes it all the way off? [nickr1] by obyone Jul 07, 2009 (1:50 pm)
Replying to: nickr1 (Jul 07, 2009 12:03 pm) Depending on the chemical composition of Rain X either an acidic or alkaline based cleaner should work. The milder of the alkaline would be like Dawn dishwashing detergent. You might laugh until you spray a mixture onto roaches and ants and watch them die instantly. If left to dry on your window it will be permanently etched.   So I would try that first. A mixture of 10 parts water to 1 part Dawn. Wash and rinse immediately and see if there is any improvement. You should neutralize it after cleaning with a mixture of vinegar and water. Not to mention that vinegar is acidic based and should help to remove water spots as well.   Stronger caustics (alkaline) can be found in your local grocery store found in a spray/foaming type of oven cleaner. Again be careful as it will eat flesh and cause major etching if left to dry on your windshield.

In fact apply it before you wash the car and then just wash the whole car.   When I'm done I use a squeegee to make the windows crystal clear.   After that water beads off nicely.   No problems here, in fact it's about time I re-apply to all 3 of my cars.

My dash vent redirects to the def. and floor vent when pulling, can someone direct me to where I should look to correct the problem?
#185 of 193 No hazing by tj6968 Aug 19, 2009 (8:16 am)
I'm worried that a product that has the possibility of hazing my windshield isn't a good thing. Especially since it's been known to be hard to get off. I haven't given it a try yet. Replies to this message: kiawah (Aug 19, 2009 8:55 am) tmart (Aug 19, 2009 9:19 am)

Replying to: tj6968 (Aug 19, 2009 8:16 am) Personally, I find it is incredible and have used it for years on all of our vehicles. Some don't like it, to each his own.   Any trip the vehicles go on, they get a new dose before leaving. Works great w/rain at highway speeds, just blows right off. Never use the wipers.

Replying to: kiawah (Aug 19, 2009 8:55 am) I agree. Have never had a problem with it. Plus, it's kinda neat to be driving in a heavy rain, at highway speed, withiut the wipers. Only real problem is it hacks the wife off!
#188 of 193 I still think by isellhondas Sep 16, 2009 (2:44 pm)
The stuff is garbage. I've tried it twice now and followed every direction to the letter.   It's like smearing my windshield with vaseline.   To each his own I suppose. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Sep 17, 2009 9:55 am)

Replying to: isellhondas (Sep 16, 2009 2:44 pm) I just re-applied on our fleet. No such problems and it's 3 different brands (Toyota, Mazda, Subaru).   Good timing because we've had a lot of rain recently.   I forget how well it works. It actually keeps the windows cleaner, because everything rolls off.
#190 of 193 RainX Washer Fluid w/ Bug Remover by graceful1 Nov 10, 2009 (4:56 am)
Has anyone tried the RainX Washer Fluid with Bug Remover? I have used the regular washer fluid for years & love it. Then I bought the Bug Remover by mistake. It ATE the paint off my hood and roof, clogged the washer lines and burned up the pumps (front & rear). anyone else have a similar experience?

Replying to: graceful1 (Nov 10, 2009 4:56 am) After reading some of the comments here, I will be taking the RainX I purchased back. Im glad I didn't use the stuff. Thanks.
