NickW mentioned this recently, and a recent visit to Halfords showed a basket full of the stuff by the checkout. My screen was insufferably smeary, from the last car wash wax cycle no doubt, so I caved and picked up a bottle.
Cleaned the screen thoroughly, rainXed as the rather vague instructions, checked with the wash wipe and saw no great difference. Did I polish the rain ex off too much I wondered...?
But over the last 5 days the benefits seem marked, rain in the way home, very clear screen with loads of road spray, barely needed the wipers on. In fact I turned them off, just to see. Only hindrance was glare from above, from the motorway street lights.
Wipers back on, clear as a bell. And is it me, or were the wipers quiter too...?
I also used it on the front side windows. Not such a good idea, as copious beading and low sun meant a cyclist was reduced to a distant shadow. I knew something was there, but had no idea what. He was actually right next to the car.
but no issue.
Seems worthwhile in the front screen, not convinced on any other windows.
Oh, keeps the frost to a minimum as well.
