[ikon]

Ugh...rain-x is overpriced and over rated...just wax ur windshield.

[F4MOU$]

I love that stuff

[aslosr]

Works great, hardly have to use the wipers.

I like the wiper fluid best. The deicer will destroy you wiberblades if their not silocone.

I have found that you can't use the silicone blades with the rain-x. The new bosch blade(without the metal frame) works really well.

agreed they do jump if the rain is light.

it works great. i have used it on all my rides except this truck. right after i got the truck the windshield got hit by a rock and put a small star like crack in it, so i called my insurance co. and they said i could replace it for $100 ded. or have it repaired and they would pay for it so i said just repair it. well the guy comes out and i'm watching him do the repair and he ask if it had ever been rain x'd and i told him no and he said good because if it had of been the repair would not work. the adhesive would not be able to bond the glass due to the chemical in rain x(petroleum base) but other than that the stuff does work and i'll put some on sometime i'm sure.

I have always loved RainX, been using it for years.

I have the Bosch Icons and ya they do bounce a LITTLE bit on light rain...not bad though.

It works ok, doesn't last as long as I think it should. There are other products out there.

[TheBigRedZ71]

works great for me, i apply and take mine off with Bounty paper towels and have never had a problem with film, i have tried the wipes and the sponge thing and didnt like either one of those as much as the bottle

It makes your glass oily if you don't get it all off.

[Herky]

I agree that it doesnt last long enough. Any similar products that last longer?

I like the windshield washer stuff. Is only like a dollar more and does a good job.

Then you're not doing it right.

I've used a few of the other wanna be brands. In my experience, Rain X lasts the longest for sure. Several factors effect how long it lasts. Windshield wiper usage, driving in the rain and normal windshield cleaning will all wear away at the coating of Rain X. There's no Rain X subsitute out there that's permanent. If you want the convenience of if, you'll just have to resort to the fact that you'll have to throw on a little elbow grease now and then. Supplement the normal applications with the Rain X washer fluid and it'll last even longer.

I like it.
It's worth the extra effort.

I've got a problem with my wipers. They keep hanging up, I was thinking maybe missing a tooth on a gear or a bad spot on the brushes or something like that. I can hear the motor running but they hang up and I have to pull over and pull them out of the hang up and they will work good for a while until they hang up again. I have to use rain x or else I can't see crap. Has anyone ever had this happen to them with their wipers? I guess the only fix would be a new wiper motor but just don't want to spend the bucks on one. Does anyone have an extra one?

I love that stuff, the glass looks cleaner/ clearer after using it too
