Re: Rain-X
Ya, you do have to polish it off with dry towels. It works increadibly with
a fresh application, but in a short time it starts to go bad. I'm not sure
if it eats the wipers or if it just gets old or what but when it gets to
that point it's bad.

Re: Rain-X
rain x makes my wiper blades chatter. It is annoying as hell. just use a
good quality blade and clean the windshield well. I used to be a big rain x
advocate until I got sick of polishing it and dealing with wiper shudder. A
fresh application is cool but its not worth the other frustrating nuances.

Re: Rain-X
Just my $0.02, as I've had both bad & good experiences.
Previously, I had the streaking problems. This past August, I was working with
my daughter doing the Fall waxing and other maintenance. She found the Fog-X
and Rain-X bottles in the pail and asked if she could apply it. We eventually
put them on 3 cars, and I am amazed with how well it works.
Previously, I had put it onto the cars in late (cool, wet) Autumn. This year,
we did it in warmer weather (late August) - maybe that made the difference. At
any rate, I drove the XJ North this weekend; I ran without wipers while others
relied on thiers.
I recommend it. and Fog-X

Well, that's part of the problem. It takes forever to get it on
correctly and goes bad real fast. With all the time involved in using
the product, I could have gotten in the Jeep and driven to my
desitnation. With the money I can buy a nice fresh set of wiper blades.
About the only situation that I can see Rain-X being useful is when you
have a problem with the wiper motor. Otherwise, it is rather counter
productive, like the Cone of Silence on Get Smart.
