Scottish Elises

scottish summer = rain. so, tried RAIN-X from halfrauds, cant see ingredients, but guessing its a wax....but.......it works a dream (very suprised!!!!) slapped it onto windscreen and rain just beads and runs off...yet to see how long it lasts.

...doesn't last at all well when I tried it.

Carlack do a really good product that has so far lasted longer than anything else I've tried.....

tried RX, but it wore off quickly and I didn't like the worn out version - my fault for not reapplying

I got the rain-x baby wipe things, works well and easy to reapply (Also cleans the screen and you then just chuck it)

I currently get a good 4-6 weeks per application but it did take a few applications to get it lasting that long and in fairness I'm still on my original bottle I bought over a year ago.

I've found rain-x on works on cars that were designed with this new fangled aerodynamics stuff its utterly crap on my cars

You should also make sure it's applied to both sides of the glass.

agree with paulo, i use carlack and find it sheds water and lasts longer than rain x. pi55 easy to use too

I know the feeling dude, autoglym polished the Panzers glass this month, I mean FFS it is August and I am polishing up the glass to shed rain.

I have used rain-X on my side and rear windows. Works a treat and lasts. I have never used it on a windscreen; I have been told that it goes smeary after a few weeks, and never really recovers, unless you re-do it every 2 weeks.

Never had a problem with that on both cars.

Ah you've driven a landrover then

If you get the Rain-X kit with the 'compound cleaner' and use it a couple of times before applying Rain-X it lasts far longer and works better.

I haven't applied Rain-X to any of my cars for about 3 or 4 months and it's still beading well.

I use windscreen wipers.....

Seems to do the trick

Just a note about applying Rain X..........apply then allow to dry, apply a second coat and allow that to dry then lightly spray on some water and buff up till dry it'll be perfect, it can be temperamental in application but when you get the hang of it it's OK.
