    Hello
    The first rainx that came out I liked and used. Now it just got better!
    I got the rainx wipers and sprayed the car window and put the rainx in the windshield washer.
    See my video This is the day after application!

    What do you use?
    Original Rainx
    Rainx glass treatment
    Rainx windshield washer fluid additive
    Rainx 2 in 1 glass cleaner spray
    Rainx Anti-Fog
    Rainx windshield wipers
    Rainx spot free car wash

    It is about the only thing I will use in the windshield washer container. It gets rid of bugs the best and clears light frost.

    I have used the original glass treatment, and the washer fluid...it works great, but the glass treatment made the rubber trim around the windshield on my Sable curl up...big time, it was sticking straight up in the air on the corners! Had to be what it was, started happening right after a treatment...

    I find that there is a slight smear right after the wipers swipe. It clears up quickly but it is there.

    Years ago i was at a car show, it started clouding up and car's started leaving. One guy said he didn't have any wipers on his car. I told him i'll go home, bring you back a bottle of rainX. So i did, guess it worked, lol, he headed out and that was the last time i saw him. I've used it before, and it does work.

    That's one reason I stopped using it. I even super cleaned the windshield with a single edge razor blade and reapplied. I even bought new wiper blades . I would leave the wipers off quite a bit because the water beading and rolling off allowed for a good enough view. The smear seemed worse with snow/cold so I went back to regular fluid and never did put the protectant/treatment on the windshield again.

    Always use the original wax on wax off stuff on the glass. Burns like heck if you have a cut.

    Used the windshield washer additive, hated it. It made a mess on the car.

    No, original rainX that requires application like wax. Actually, you can use automotive wax on the glass with pretty decent results in a pinch.
