Rain-X & Fog-X question...

[bleeb]

Do these things work?

I've used Rain-X on dive masks before with great results.

I've used Fog-X and it does work.

Rain x and yeah it works as advertised, once you're going fast enough for the wind flow to take the rain off your windshield. It's nifty.

I heard fogX works but it makes ur window a little bit cloudier (or course not as cloudy as it would be when it's fogged up!)

Fog-X works, but in my experince, you had to use quite a lot (compared to what you use with RainX). RainX works GREAT

Edit: I never noticed a hazy window with FogX, I did buff it out pretty well though

Rain-X has always worked for me. I haven't used Fox-X.

Rain-X works great but it's very difficult to buff it clear. You drive around with a haze for about a week.

I never noticed haze after Rain-Xing.

I haved used the Castrol version of this in the purple bottle. Much easier to put on then Rain-x brand.

A key factor in keeping that rain-x action or not having to use it at all is to make sure the windshield is super clean before putting it on. I use Stoner Invisble Glass along with a microfiber. I don't use any rain-x on the windshield anymore, just on the other windows and keep the windshield clean with the stoners. Clean glass will naturally bead up water, unless its really pitted.

Also, I've read that after use of wipers, the rain-x stuff builds up on the blades and gunks it all up. The additive for the winshield fluid works well from what I hear as well.

I get some clouding on rainx initially, but with the windshield wipers, or some extra buffing with water it should go away. The stuff lasts quite a long time too.

You must be some Rain-X King then since the instructions specifically mention that it should haze up.

 

[ApacheXMD]

it also says that you're supposed to buff it clear.
