Default rainex

anyone use it? if not try it!! great stuff it degreases your windows and keeps the water off! very trippy at first whilst driving in heavy rain due to the water beads racing up the screen but gives alot more visability it really is great stuff also very ideal for your shower screens at home! once you put this on you wont need to clean for a good 6months!!! around £7 a bottle from your loacal halfrauds!

Can't stand Rain X good if its raining properly pants in road spray/light drizzle.

I use PIAA Silicone wipers which constantly recoat the screen in use find it much better than Rain X.

I use it (or another brand name that does the same). Find it great stuff, don't notice much of a problem in drizzle as it just needs an occasional wipe, which i'd have to do without the rain X too.....

Just to add that if you ever have a chip in your screen and try to get it repaired, this stuff will block up the chip making a repair very difficult.

I use it sometimes, its a faf to polish it off but works ok for a while, however I had the PIAA silicon wipers on my classic, they where really good, ill get another set when the current aero jobbies wear out.
