Rain-X 800002250 Glass Treatment Trigger, 16 Fl Oz – Exterior Glass Treatment to Dramatically Improve Wet Weather Driving Visibility During All Weather Conditions by Rain-X

Ive used this over the past few months and have no complaints definitely worth it.

I have been using this product for over 25 years. It is the best product for windshields to let the rain slip right off will driving. When the rain comes down real hard you can just slow down and keep driving without pulling off the to the side of the road were you may be stuck for some time waiting for the rain to slow down. I rarely use my windshield wipers. Here is the bounce for those living in cold climates that get ice on their windshield it scrapes off easy. It last on the windshield about 2 months. It goes on like waxing your car spray it on using a cloth then wipe off with a new cloth.

So far so good. I am happy with the product

Purchased 2 of these January 2023 for $5.99 each. Great value!

We apply this on our car windows and headlights/brake lights before long road trips, and we personally feel that it really just helps with visibility on multiple ends.

Applying this back during the rainy season in California, didn’t even need to use wiper blades during intense rain because the rain just bounced right off. Of course, the back of the product says to still use your wipers, and we did of course, but it’s cool to see that our wipers had some assistance and didn’t need to solely rely on the wiper blades to have visibility of the road.

It’s also great because it really helps with clean up! On these California road trips especially, a lot of bugs unfortunately get demolished with their bodily remains on the window and front of the car, even somewhat on the sides especially when crossing the central valley. Applying Rain-X prior, they don’t quite bounce off like rain does, but clean up is a lot easier since they don’t stick to the front window and headlights as much.

Really a great product. Just be sure to follow the instructions in the back, and know that the streaks you see as a result of applying the product is normal. If you read the ingredients, you’ll see ethanol as one of the main ingredients. It’s a really strong and somewhat unpleasant smell, so expect that. But that’s when you know that it works, because the difference in polarity is what allows the repelling of water from your window with Rain-X applied.

It’s less than $10; if you’re thinking of purchasing, just do it. You won’t regret it. If you don’t like it, you’re out less than $10 and never have to buy it again, but at least you tried it.

I’ve used this product for a long time on all my vehicles. Living in the Northwest we get a lot of rain and Rain-X nearly eliminates the need for windshield wipers if applied on a regular basis.

This is awesome stuff, but I agree, it can be tricky to apply. Applied in 50 degree or warmer weather is best, with 2-3 coats needed for best performance. It coats your windshield with a substance that beads water, thus allowing rain to slide right off.

HOW I APPLY THIS PRODUCT:

I use a microfiber towel to apply this product. I fold the cloth into quarters and spray one section with the Rain-X. I then cover the windshield, using circular movements until I see a light haze on the windshield. I then (wipe) buff it off using a clean microfiber towel and reapply a second coat, removing it in the same way. I find that doing this in my garage allows me to see the haze a bit better than when working in direct sunlight.

If I find I have a haze, I spray the surface with water and wipe it again. There’s a YouTube video that shows that if you use a wet, soapy car mitt to wash the windshield it removes the haze quickly and thoroughly, but I think that probably takes off some of the product too. My advice… do what works for you.

CONCLUSION:

I have not noticed this product effecting the clarity of my vehicle’s glass other than the initial haze, but if you take your time you can get it off and it will work well for its intended purpose.

It does have a strong odor, so even if you’re working in your garage, make sure you have proper ventilation while working with it.

➤TIP: When you wash your car use quality ‘conditioning’ soaps instead of dish soaps which will strip wax and Rain-X from your car.

I recommend this product to anyone who lives in a climate where rain and snow are frequent happenings. If you use it, after awhile you’ll realize you turn on your windshield wipers about half as often, with dirt and bugs sticking less too.
