Yup, over the summer I did every window a couple of times.

Only issue with the roof is that it appears rain sits longer and takes a whiel to evaporate (I'm sure it's something to do with the rain collecting in bigger dropplets or something.

So if you park, it rains, you come back and it's not raining and you pop the roof, you'll get a waterfall effect as it tilts.

Did it once, it really impressed my wife....who was in the passenger seat. ;(


The rockblocker $15 for 1 application is crazy. My bottle cots maybe 2 or 3 bucks and I've used maybe half over the last 6 months.

 

Just an oh, by the way, whether you use Rain-X or a similar product, or not, it's a good idea to replace your wiper refills once a year. The rubber does degrade (every run a towel down the edge of the wiper when you're cleaning your windshield?) and you'll get better cleaning from the newer blades.

 

yup - works just as good up there!

(and I might be imagining this, but it seemed to make bird poo easier to clean off too...)

 

I have been using the Rain-X washer fluid in 3 cars for the past couple years. No issues with having to re-apply. Just have to remind the dealer not to refil my washer fluid during oil changes.

 

Yeah, I never had very good luck with the anit fog. It actually worked ok, but I never could get all of the haze off , even using water. You are right too about the bird poo... it makes everything easier to clean off since it acts like a wax. That is one of the best parts, how easy the windows are to clean.

I need to re-apply mine and wash my poor filthy tC... but it has been snowing all night and day so it is kinda pointless right now

 

yeah, the anitfog seems to be hype.....the fog clear gel at properautocare.com seems to be pretty sweet, but i haven't tried it out.

a couple of years ago, i had terrible trouble with fog and ice on the inside of my windsheild, combine that with a low output heater and i would be reduced to scraping the inside of the glass...i found out that my floormats were the culprits, they would hold alot of water and with would evaporate and then accumulate on the inside of the windsheild

 

Antifog does NOT work. It messed up my windshield and i had to wash them all again on the inside several times.

Outside, the RainX works like a charm. I gotta redo all my windows.

 

Rain-X works pretty well; especially on the back window of the xA.
I also use the Rain-X windshield washer fluid to 'freshen' up my windows in between applications.

 

Awsome product, love going thru the rain with it on, and the harder it rains the better it gets, when all the other people have there winsheild wipers on full blast mine arent on at all and they look at me like im crazy,i just speed by and snicker at them, but worth every cent i ever spent on the stuff.

 

i hate the anti fog! tried it once and it was such a mistake!

 

Rain-X and Restore were the only two products I swore by while working at Autozone.

A couple came in and had to go to Tucson (70 miles away) and their wipers stopped working. I gave them a free application of Rain-X and sent them on their way. Next day they came and thanked me. Said it worked GREAT!! They also bought a bottle for use later.

When we get our monsoon rains people pull over cuz it's raining so hard. I drive by them without even turning on my wipers! Rain just slides off. GREAT stuff!

 

From someone who is already an appreciative user of Rain-X ....

I put the first application of Rain-X on Mrs. Scion's xB last night. I'm driving it today, and we had rain of varying intensity while I was on the way to work.

I think that it's even better on the xB than on my Maxima! I was hardly using the wipers, even when it was misty and I was driving at slower speeds. In the Max, I'd have had to use the wipers, at least on intermittant.

Helps out a LOT on the back window, too.

I'd stopped using Rain-X on her previous car, the Toyota Previa, since the windshield was just slightly smaller than a football field, and I felt like I'd run a marathon after I finished.

I think Rain-X on the xB is going to be a regular process.

I think I mentioned earlier in this thread that I spoke with the makers of Rain-X, who said that one of the most common mistakes in application was applying too much. That makes it more difficult to buff out, and more prone to streaks, haze and the starring effect at night. It doesn't take much.

 

Cool guys thanks. RainX is teh bestest ;D

Do I have to reapply after I wash my winshields with soap?

 

LOL marathon. Try putting rain-x over the WHOLE GLASS ROOF and windshields on a tC :D
