Rain X glass cleaner and treatment any good?

Dec 26, 2011 5 Replies

I see Rain X has a dual use product out now that cleans as well as treats the windshield.



Anyone tried it?


No, and probably wont. I tried the older formulation of Rainex and did not like it at all. No need, IMO, to go further down that road.

To copy HLS: "No and probably won't."

The original is ok during the day during a heavy rain but not so good in a light rain. Its really horrible at night if there are street lights around. Visibility near zero. Very dangerous at night.

I use rain x washer fluid. Ok with that. I used old rain x on my old truck. Too sticky. My wiper motor started making loud noises.

Years ago Rain X worked for me, then stopped. I've tried various other cleaners with no luck. I haven't tried the new Rain X stuff.

Thanks to someone's suggestion on this newsgroup a while back, my solution is to squirt some Dawn green dishwashing fluid in the winshield washer tank. Works very well.

So does ethanol, but you've got to use it sparingly because it can cause hardening of the rubber seal around the windscreen.
