I heard that RainX will deteriorate your windows if you come into contact with salt (such as road salt):shrug: is there any truth to this?
Hmmm... this sounds like a load of crap. It's just a silicon based wax, I think. Your windows are made mostly out of silicon too, so I don't see how it could hurt.
Been using the stuff in Minnesota winters - road salt capital of the free world - for many years. The bodies of my vehicles rot away. The windshields are fine.
I never have used anything on my windshield except the wipers. I change them every 2 to 3 years to be certain they stay in good operating condition. I don't think rainx is any better than good wipers but it does cost more because you have to re apply it every so often.
Silicon or Silicone? Silicon is a semi-metallic element. Silicone is a Silicon-Carbon-Hydrogen Polymer.
ok, thanks guys because i heard this from someone i worked with and i wanted to call bullshit because i use it all the time.
yes it seems so is " Rain-X " a good Idea if no objections come forth it works terrifically well , from experience and I recommend this product , for if nothing else than safety objections ?
By making a statement that I only use my wipers doesn't mean that I'm criticizing anything so where do you get off on saying that? :shrug:
Gee man, Alzheimer setting in? From your next sentence: You never tried RainX, so you are making a guess which is not even educated, because well, you never tried the product. By the way, if you ever want the Star Wars "speeding through the galaxy" effect (when the stars become lines) try RainX without the wipers turned on in a light sparkling rain. It is fun!
Yeah I heard Watchmen is a good movie, they told me. Well, other people told me it sucked, so I am confused! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! By the way I use RainX based carwash and the car is shining like hell...
Yes, they instructions say apply a little but the stupid thing is annoying because it leaves fog, even when I do what it says and use a little. It always makes foggy window and hard to see, leaving residue Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Same here in Cleveland. I apply the stuff (straight from the bottle) directly to the windshield as often as I can (ahhh... okay, once a year...) and use the Rain-X variety of windshield washer juice as well. My lovely new-ish (well, it was new in 2006) car has all sorts of dents and scratches... but the windshield is just peachy. ~String
