Re: Rain-X (VETHEAD JR)
Years before RAIN-X came out, I discovered that putting Armor-All on the wiper blades would deposit a thin film on the windshield which would make rain bead off like crazy. One application would last seemingly forever.
I tried R-X on a different car and, except for the R-X turning my fingers yellow, the results were the same.
So, Armor-All keeps the blades in good shape and the glass shedding rain.

I use it all the time, hardly ever have to turn on my wipers. Never had a problem with collecting dirt, but I wash my cars frequently. :yesnod:
The key to the inital application is a super clean w/shield. If applied correctly
Rainx works very well.

...drive faster in the rain & watch the beads fly :D
Seriously, I drove once for 3 hrs on the highway and never had to use wipers due to the aerodynamics :cheers:

I love the way rain rolls off the windshield and how easy it is to clean the windshield. :cheers:

Re: Rain-X (CanadaVette)
I wax my windshield and the rain just beads up.
I have been waxing it for years.
Works great :cool:

I don't know if its just with some of the early C4's, but rain-x can cause blade chatter and wiper collisions. Is that true?

Use all the time on all cars, even use it on all the planes I fly..wipers don't do as well at 200 MPH, as you'd think. RX is the greatest invention since the sanitary napkin.
