Rain Repel - For Extreme Weather

My '99 Z71 had OEM blades with spoilers.....which I stupidly threw away when I put on a new set of Anco's. May have to check out those PIAA's.

Is of no value in North Texas, we haven't had rain in 20 years.

Per RSCamaro:

I made the comment. My guess is that you figured out how to apply it properly on Day 1. I've tried it a few times, but was always put off by the wiper haze. Last time around, somebody said to buff it a lot with newspaper. Same old, same old....

I think I'll try it again though - using the microfiber cloth after letting it set up for a few hours. When the stuff works, it *really* works.... it's just that darn haze when the wipers are on at nite.

Laz, My only thought is that they look like they will be just like any other blade regards snow build up.

And you guessed wrong. Driving isn't a guessing game, it's reality.

I apologize only for the spam claim and yet you continue with the endorsements? Did I waste an apology?

Then I was right, I've driven longer than you've breathed life.

BTDT in Denver, Indy, St Louis, Pueblo, Phoenix, Salt Lake City . . . . .

And my methods work in all those towns also.

So, what was your point?

You have the right to your opinion and the right to be wrong in thinking it's the only way to avoid the problem.

I'm finished with this stuff.

I agree with that. Those ruts in the road between Middletown and Fishkilll are quite annoying.

Must work really good in TX then, not only sheds the rain, but actually prevents it! I use rain-X on my windshield, but haven't had much use for it for awhile here in OK either. Could sure use some rain to help douse the fires!

The biggest thing to realize is that with the stuff on the glass, you don't need to use the wipers as much as you're used to. The haze comes from the wipers doing their thing with no water/lubrication between them and the glass. My dad caused the haze by doing what came from 50 years of driving experience, turning the wipers up to fast 'because it's raining harder' without realizing how little water was sticking to the glass. I have used the stuff for 10 years, and set the wipers to intermittant, as slow as needed to keep the view clear. The other advantage of these chemicals is that ice doesn't stick to the glass in the winter.

I hear ya. I haven't really run into enough snow yet to have them be a problem....but they work very well for rain. Hopefully, I'll find out how they perform with snow. Praying for another

2 footer here this winter. :^)

It's not reality, its a responsibility.

Did I ask for an apology?

What was your point here?

The GE Corporation was dumping PCBs into the Hudson river before I breathed life also, were they right to do this? Does this mean that you are smarter or more capable of handling yourself in sticky situations? It means nothing more than that you've had more birthdays than I have. I drive every day on some of the most congested roads on the planet. Does driving in more adverse conditions more often mean anything.

I understand that you are finished and probably won't reply. I just haven't received a good enough answer as to why the aforementioned chemical is such a bad thing. Prove to me why I'm wrong.

I first used Rain-X in 2002 on my 1964 Studebaker T-Cab pickup which I drove from Austin, TX to Rhode Island via South Bend to catch the Stude International Meet. Never ran into any rain until someplace in Ohio an rain it did, by the bucket. I was so amazed at the performance of Rain-X including the fact that I never had to resort to using my wipers.
