remaining) I'll look for the Castrol AccuVision. I am getting low on my supply of Rain-X Windshield Treatment(only a few oz.

Goes on easier, and lasts longer without the streaking of Rain-X, and no chatter.

That seems to work well in the wet NW winters where it can rain for weeks on end and prevent you from applying a glass treatment.īut, in the summer and when it IS dry, I use Castrol's AccuVision repellant. I ditched Rain-X years ago - except for the additive for the washer bottle. This sounds like alot but, it's not! It's just doing the job in a different order. You'll still leave enough R-X on the glass to do it's job for that 3-4 weeks or less and not get any R-X on the wiper blades. This way, I can remove the R-X without killing myself trying to remove the smearing effect that the R-X leaves on the glass. So, use lots of water, soap, cleaner, whatever! Do it WET!Ģnd, apply R-X to the(DRIED) glass liberaly and let dry while you do other things to the vehicle such as vacuum clean or tires/wheels.ģrd, only then do I start washing the vehicle cleaning the wheels and tires(with their own sponge/bucket) then moving to the vehicle at the top and working downward.Ĥth, remove the R-X from the windshield during your normal carwashing, When you dry your car/vehicle, the glass will shine nicely/cleanly while still having the benefits of RAIN-X. Applying product dry on the windshield will cause etching over time. What I do when applying R-X to my glass is:ġst, clean the windshield with your favorite cleaner or car wash soap and dry the glass with the wiper blades in the UP position. Then, whatever is remaining on the glass, gets on the wiper blade rubber, causing them to dry and become more brittle and chatter over the glass. Use Ammonia on the wiper blades on a paper towel or just wash the blades(and get off the grit) with your favorite car wash soap while your washing your vehicleĮverybody has their own method.Using Rain-X as directed calls for applying to your windshield, let dry and remove.Wheather you let the R-X dry or just keep rubbing til it drys, it doesn't matter!Īnyway, this drying causes a smearing effect of the R-X which is what I find hard to remove PROPERLY. My experience with Rain-X on the windshield is.Don't get any R-X on your wipers themselves as it will dry the rubber quickly and make them chatter.Īlso, DO NOT clean your wiper blades with those alcohol packets provided with your new wipers.Disgard them ASAP as alcohol dries rubber wiper blades even if it clean them well.
