"Rain-X", is it OK to apply?
#5
rain x is da bomb. it's just a lil annoying to apply. i may try that accuvision by castrol next time. from reading the application instructions, all ya gotta do is spray and wipe just once vs buffing out and re-applying for rain x.

I heard that if it gets on any rubber (such as the windshield seals or wipers), it can make the rubber wear out or become brittle. Any truth to this? I've just been using Klasse wax on the windshield once every two months when I wax my car. I never use my wipers either

I recently installed Rain X wipers on my TLS, great so far will see how long they last but they clean perfect and at hwy speed they stay planted on the windshield.

One other bene that I have noticed is that it is easier to get the frost off of the windshield. Without it, you have to scrape; with it, you can just use the washer fluid and the wipers and it comes off a lot easier.

You guys might want to look into this:

supposed to be WAY better than Rain-X in terms of longevity.

been using Rain x on the last 3 cars i have had, and i must say i would never drive without it! it is breatt the way it makes the water bead and just roll off...especially at speed on the road. i drive often without even using the wipers. application, if done right will not haze your windows, nor has it done damage to my wiper blades, though how many of us actually replace the blades yearly as recommended anyways? (I do, but still) Try it and you will never go back to naked windows glass.
