Default Rain-X
I love that stuff. I try to use ot as often as possible on my cars windows. Helps so much when raining or when large trucks splatter a fine mist of water droplets on your screen.. And when driving in the dark it is excelllent as well in wet conditions.

Time to refresh mine, now it is still light outside and dry.

Do more people use it?

Haven't in a while, but when I did I thought it worked great. It's like wax for windows.

I just buy the Rain-X windshield washer fluid. Has Rain-X in it. Constantly re-applying it effortlessly. [thumbup]

Thanks for reminding me...I gotta get the winter stuff in there soon.

Use the stuff too, have been doing for years.
Stick it on all my windows, lights and door mirrors, stops everything getting a covering of dew on a cold morning too.

Need to reapply it soon though, cos its starting to wear off with all the rain we've had recently.

I love the stuff... Been using it for over 10 years now. I use it on all my exterior glass, side mirrors, and even the domes on my headlights and foglights. Why the latter two? Cuz it makes it easier to wipe crap off of them!

Their tar & bug remover works well, as does the anti-fog interior glass treatment.

I also use their washer fluid, to keep the applications lasting as long as possible.

I've written up a good guide on "cleaning and treating automotive glass" for a car forum I partake in, but haven't published it yet... any takers once it's up?

This reminds me that I need new wiper blades. I've got some awesome toweling action going on. Smear, smear, smear, smear. Maybe I'll check out Rain-X too! [thumbup]

Rain-X makes great wiper blades... but I'd recommend Bosch Icons over them anyday!

Be careful with how much of that you use between rain storms. I found that over time, it can develop a buildup that can cause the wiper blades to chatter. If you use it a lot between rain storms, I would say to dilute it to 50% Rain-X brand and 50% regular wiper wash.

I've use Bosch wipers in the past, but I like Trico's NeoForm wipers a lot more. They give a more uniform pressure across the blades surface. They are a little more expensive, but give em a try, you may like them as well.

Look @ pictures of the Neoform and the Icon, then get back to me...

The Icons are typically $1-2 more expensive at most retailers. However, I've never had to replace any from wear... Only when my next vehicle uses a different size! [thumbup]

Ah, I didn't realize Bosch came out with a wiper comparable to the neoforms. They didn't have them when I first got my Neoforms.

Is not true?

Just the other day, I could go outside and if I stood really still and concentrated I could feel what was obviously rain hitting me; this lasted for several minutes.
