Rain-x wax

Just used Rain-x car wax and Rain-x windshield wax. Anyone here use any of these waxes?
If not, what is your favorite wax?

Any wax will do that, though. The wax at a car wash will do it even. The place I go to...the stuff lasts pretty much between car washes...twice a month. But yes, that is cool. No wipers, and you can see just fine.

It doesn't leave streaks or a fine film on the windshield that can't be washed off?

I agree: Rain-X is the shit! I put it on about once a month and it works every bit as good as they advertise.

That is very true, and Fog-X is great also. I don't know how it works, just know that it does. I would not have believed it until I tried it first hand. I only did my windshield and when my other windows did fog up my windshield was clear as could be.

Give them both a try and you will never stop using them.

P.S. If anyone has ever tried Rain-X Tire Protectant and loved it, and now hates the fact that the product has been discontinued AND have found a good replacement product. Please let me know I'm looking for one.

I love RainX.. when I borrow or rent a car, if I have it long enough and it's raining, I'll replace the wiper fluid because I just can't stand not having RainX...

Out of curiosity, how is rain-x applied? simply via your washer fluid or is it hand-applied to the windows?

You first drab it on, let it set and wipe it off.

actually you can get rain-x wiper fluid. That stuff is the best 'cause you never have to do any work to keep your windshield coated.

I bought the wax and used it on my car around 2 weeks ago. Car is still shiny yet I have not seen rain for the 2 weeks. Haven't been able to take advantage of the windshield wax either. I go on vacation and leave my to find out that it rained the entire time i was gone and I could have been home to see it work...

I'm not gonna worry about the wax. I'm perfectly happy with meguiars gold class wax. It's an excellent wax, and ANY wax will do what Rainx wax claims to do. I have my doubts that rainx's wax can get as deep a shine, however!

have used the Rain-X on the Winshield and other windows of the car loved it it was great actually better than a regular wax on the windshield. Have tried the Tire wax it was great but have not found a sub for it that last as long.
