RainX use
Hi all:
Finally get to clean the new toy
and was wondering if anybody has had any problems using RainX on the headlight housing. Also, I've read a lot about not using anything with petroleum derivatives on the paint but, is it safe to use RainX on the glass as long as you are careful not to "over spray"?
Thanks for the help
and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

I put rainex on my car and loved it at first....until I noticed that in the morning, the streaking / smearing / fogging was so bad I couldn't really see if I was heading into the sun and hit the windshield wipers which smeared the moisure across the windshield. This was with new rain-x wiper blades too. I admit that this would be much less of a problem if you live in a dry climate.

and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! I've used it for a long time as well.
As for headlights ... just spray on a rag and wipe on. That way you don't have to worry about overspay or drips on the nose while you spray.

Only complaint about Rain-X is that I think it wears out the wiper blades quicker. Any corroboration from CR Members???
