How did you clean/prep your windshield before applying the Rain-X?

I just use the RainX Washer Fluid. It applies the treatment. I'm sure it's not the same thing, but it's sufficient for me.

I should try that stuff, as my bottle has almost run out. I just use a window cleaner. If you're anal you'll run that over a couple of times. Then apply rain-x per instructions.

The thing about it is it's only good if you're doing 40 mph+. Low speeds it's not helpful. It's awesome for highway driving though. I was going 80 yesterday in a downpour and didn't use my wipers once. It lasts for a surprisingly long time as well.

I'm on the highway everyday, so it's great for me.

Don't you mean

n plus apostrophe plus t.

1.) Correct yourself before others
2.) ...
3.) PROFIT!
My recommending inclusion of an apostrophe does not prohibit the inclusion of an n and t. It was an excercise. I figured that anybody who would add that apostrophe would probably throw in the n and t also.
You complain about the profit crap, yet you throw out an old and tired term like "mad props". Shame on you, skoorb. shame, shame, shame on you.
I'm straight out the hood, son. You know I can't change my roots or forget where I came from.

Canada - gangsta land!

I've found Rain-X to do a number to the wiper blades.... really gum up the rubber edge...so in the event you do need to use them, they don't work very well... anyone else have this problem?

Stop this. Your unoriginality knows no bounds.

Also, you're the exact reason I'm not sending my kids to a bloody public school. You brainless dolts still don't understand the difference between YOUR and YOU'RE. AND ALSO, PLEASE stop with the "I could care less." You are missing a damn apostrophe, ok?

Rain-X, the windshield washer fluid version, is the best thing since sliced bread.

Using Rain-X, I was able to:

1) Drive through a rainstorm to Kinko's
2) Make copies of my resume
3) Drive around in the rain to various companies
4) Dropped off resumes
5) ...
6) ...
7) Profit!

Rain-X is pretty awesome and it smells like catfood if you smell it after eating catfood.
