Re: RainX!!!!!!!!

I use this stuff called Clear sight .......made by Armorall .....I dont know if they make it anymore but if you find it you wont be disapointed. The reason I dont know if they still make is because I snagged it from my buddies garage before he moved.

Re: RainX!!!!!!!!



RainX ownz you. Got like half a bottle on my windshield. Truck has no wipers and I can see fine, hehe. On the highway, the rain will literally fly off as it hits, you really can't even tell its raining.

Also, I dunno if you guys ever noticed, but RainX seems to keep windows from frosting over in the winter. I used to get out of work and I would be the only one not scrapin shit off.

Re: RainX!!!!!!!!

Yeah, but it will f*ck up your wiper blades. After awhile they just don't work well anymore, but I still use it.

Re: RainX!!!!!!!!

the only bad thing about rain x is that at night no matter how clear it looks when its raining the on coming traffic will mess you up to the point where you gotta use the wipers. during the day though that stuff is the best thing on the truck.

Re: RainX!!!!!!!!

I have noticed that my windsheild catches everything in the air now but it is sweet when it rains the water rolls off at long stop lights I catch people watching hahaha. How much do yall use at a time? does more do better. I just applied it once.

Re: RainX!!!!!!!!

I love that stuff! After the novelty of having the rain-x throw the water off my windows, I still used the wipers though. It just amplifies its job. Even if it messes up the wiper blades a little, blades are cheap anyways. The clearness is well worth the extra $20 I may put into it every 6 months.
