I applied Rain-X two weeks ago on my car windows, It rained a bit during the last two weeks, but not while I was driving. Today however on the motorway it started raining heavy, I could see the wiper blades on the car behind me going very fast. My windshield was like the matrix, water was flying off. I didn't have to use my wipers at all.

Its a good thing you didnt have to use them because if you did it would have left a haze on your window that makes you essentially blind when car lights come through it. THis stuff should be banned, and yes I applied it exactly how it says on the bottle.

Hi, thanks for sharing your video about Rain-X. Would you say that Stoners Invisible Glass is a good alternative to isopropyl/rubbing alcohol for pre-cleaning the windshield..? Esp now that alcohol is much harder to find at the stores. Thanks for your input.

Thank you for the tip about 2nd coating and alcohol!

Absolutely good advice! 👍 Rainex also has washer fluid that renews the application. Side windows, mirrors, rear window benefit as well. Rainex has saved my bacon many times in heavy rain and heavy traffic. Good video...

I mean either way, if you could see properly or not, the cops 9 out of 10 times are almost always going to catch you. Getting away depends on how much distance you can make, how well you know the area (surroundings) like streets or alleyways or parking spots or how well you can hide in plain sight. Also, a-lot of luck is needed and motivation to actually get away some people just give up 5 minutes into the chase so you got to keep motivated to drive until your gas is used up or take another vehicle. Hey now, not condoning this but just my opinion!

I've used the Rain-X Wipers for years on my Camaro I love them. How often depends, if your state rains a lot more then ours I would just apply it as often as you need it. I feel as though a combo of the spray and wipers are a fantastic option. Don't forget to hit the back windows too! -- Marly

Depends on how much rain you receive or how often you use your Windshield Washers or how you wash your car. Two to Four times a year when you see less beading of the Water.

Thanks for the demo. My wipers quit working yesterday and it's not the fuse. So I'll try the RainX. Gotta be easier than tearing into the firewall to repair the wipers.

Not sure what kind of rain repellent in the automatic wash but I never get my car dried off (they suck) and I never have problems seeing out of my windshield and the water beads fly upward as I drive in the rain. However, I would like to apply this to my side windows and side rear view mirrors since the rain repellent from the automatic wash doesn't seem to help keep the rain clear from those areas.

Can u apply rain x to your wiper blades

@stevefry5441

2 жыл бұрын

I don't think so. My understanding is that Rain-X fills in the small imperfections in the glass with microscopic particales, so it becomes smooth and water just runs off. I think it might cause "juddering" if you put it on the rubber itself, which is kind of a "grip and slip" action and noisy when when the wipers trace over the glass. It works great on the windshield itself, but I've not tried it on the rubber wiper so can't say for sure what would happen. The only other thing I would add is that it takes 5-10 minutes for the haze to form after application, then you can wipe it off. I just used a paper towel.

Good review bro

Thorough explanation

Well Done with the online video instructions

I applied to my headlights, mirrors, and tailights and made them immediatley freeze in freezing temps. I compared to other cars w. Out rain x and this did not happen to them. Windshield it made ice quicker to immediatley form on my windshield thank god I had de icer windshield fluid.
