Rain Repel - For Extreme Weather

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.

Rain-X saved my butt one time coming back to Illinois from a fishing trip in NW Minnesota with Bass Boat in tow behind my '90 Dodge/Cummins.

Apparetly on the way back, my Alternator's Voltage Regulator fried (Is an external Regulator on this year Truck), I had no lights, no wipers, no radio, no power windows, nothing.

Ran into a most horrible thunderstorm going through central Wisconsin. With the Rain-X I was able to see quite well at highway speeds considering it was one horrible storm. Mark

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

Please let me know what happens in the snow. We have had 2 plowable storms so far.

A two footer, hell, we were paralyzed by a three incher here last time, LOL!

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.

LOL....ur right about that....just iamgine how 2 feet works us over. Excellent time though for us that manage snow though.

I just hope we get a valid warning the next time instead of the (it will stop any time now) crap we got during that three incher or people will die of starvation around here waiting for the roads to be cleaned. I do find it funny watching heavy construction equipment (graders, loaders, and dozers) out on the roads trying to do the job of snow plows.

Tell me about it. It's also been somewhat hilarious that for some time, customers were willing to pay drivers with Bobcats and other loaders more than a driver with a plow. Now they are starting to realize a plow can perform a better job in much less time so the end cost is less. Plus, can't tell you how many trailers I've seen jackknifed with a loader on it trying to get to another site.

I'm Sorry but I could not resist myself. I to have been using Rain-x since 1980 and it is a Outstanding product to help shed the rain of the glass windshield and windows. Their is also another product that I found just last year that to it Rain-x but this one you do not have to apply to the glass and wipe off the residue. This Rain-x product you add to you windshield washer tank reservoir and each time you use your windshield washers it not only helps clean the windshield but adds the water repellent to the glass and it to works like Magic it even helps wiper blade that have just started to skip or chatter across the glass to stop.... It is a can't do without it product in Florida "If we are getting Rain!" which we are not now!!!!! Rich,,, in Florida...............

You wanna set your line lenght to about 75 characters??

Rain-x is one of the few things in life I can swear by and not at. My favorite was the Window Cleaner Paste that seem to have been discontinued. chiphead
