Hey guys, did any of you use Rain-X?? I heard it helps during the rain. Do you recomend it? How offten do you need to put it on your windshield?? if you need to put very offten it sucks, I would hope it stays for a month at least.

 

I have been running Rain-X on my sheild since '89 and live by it in the rain. The anti-fog is great to. This stuff has been around the aviation industry for awhile but not under the trade name.
Aviation mech. use Rain-X on the font cockpit glass to deflect water. Try turning windshield wipers on at 550mph!!!

So conclusion, use it in muli-coats and buff it like wax and it will last for months.

Anti-fog on the bathroom mirror saves time in the morning after a shower.

 

There is a new product by Castrol (I believe) that is much easier to put on than RainX. RainX is a major pain to put on. Buff and rebuff and rebuff.

 

i agree...rain-x is such a big pain in the ass to remove and buff....very difficult to get rid of the haze yet i've been using it for many a many years now. where can i get this castrol stuff. i checked my local trak auto aka super trak and couldn't find the stuff.

 

walmart, target

 

I actually found it at Pep Boys and AutoZone. I think it's called either Clearvue or ClearVision. It's in a blue bottle.

 

Update: Castrol and windshield fluid are a bad combo. This is the second time I've used the windshield fluid, so it's probably the stock fluid.

While driving monday, I remembered reading somewhere that ppl are having problem with the fluid sprayer. So what the hell, I waited til no one was behind me and started spraying.

Damn, it looked like some1 put vaseline on my wipers. I tried a second time, the same result. So i just let it dry while driving.

Until I washed my car with dishwashing soap and water, did it cleared. Guess I won't do that again.

 

yah it is very useful.i have been using it to both of my cars.but u will have to re-apply it every once in a while. it is really cool when u drive high speed in the rain,the rain will just repell itself

 

So this is after using Castrol Accuvision? Yikes.
