Forgot how good this stuff is. Re applied it on Tuesday before I drove up. Superb stuff.

Works on headlights and tail lights too which is useful in current conditions.

I need the anti fog stuff.

I used it once and didn't like it.

Possibly user error, but it left smears on the screen that were only noticeable at night with oncoming traffic, I ended up unable to see where I was going due to the blurring

I had similar problems at first MacK, but have now realised that I wasn't putting enough on. The external rain stuff is amazing. The anti-fog is okay but doesn't seem to last as long.

Do you not have A/C? If you do and aren't aware, you only need to stick this on for a couple of minutes to clear. I have also realised over the years that generally the windscreen will fog up for a couple of reasons:
1. Leaving the heater controls set to screen demist. When you start the car it just fires the air at the screen and mists up immediately. Try leaving it set to the feet.
2. Having something damp in the car like wet floor mats or a wet jacket really add to the moisture in the car.

Also make sure the screen is really clean then follow the two above and it should be a bit better.

I have a big kitchen roll stashed between the seats, its one of those centre pull out jobs.

Early morning, tug a bit, then start wiping.

Can confirm rain-x is great.. was like doing a star wars light speed in the Esprit S3 with that stuff on. The water just flew off the top off the windscreen no wipers required.

Only works on cars that actually have aerodynamics

Which means it is useless for me
