Ooooo..and geometry...I'm really excited now. :-*

I know, your permanently excreated. You keep sending me the bloody pics. :(
Much as I'd like to stay and play, I've got to go and watch a programme about exploding sofas from China.
Good, opps off then, sounds far more riveting. ;D
Scary more like, scs, Harvey's, Argos, tesco.....all at it.

I'd imagine that Uncle STEMO's sofa is quite scary with all that methane that's been deposited in it over the years!!  ::)

A good candidate for spontaneous combustion!!  :o  ;D

I believe that rain X was invented in the 1970s......i first used it in 1989 when they were realy pushing sales to get it back on board...I found it to be great at dispelling rain from the screen without the use of wipers even at speed.However i do not think that the stuff made any difference to the smear and grease that gets on the screen and that over a period of time only got worse....needless to say i never used the stuff again......And before anyone asks......Yes i did clean the screen before i used the stuff... :D :y :y

That's what I thought too ..... starts to smear a lot when it needs re-doing.  ;)

Seemed to work O.K. when it was raining but was though the screen was slightly misted up when the wipers
weren,t working in dry conditions. Hopes this makes sense :-\

Might simply be a side effect of any temp difference inside to outside :-\ it's also quite surprising just how mucky the inside of the screen gets :o

Don't have a bottle , Anyway wanted users of the product comments on how well it lasts.  :)

According to them: How long does it last? top
Rain-X is unaffected by normal screen washing. Abrasion by wiper blades and trapped grime will gradually reduce performance and durability. Depending on the amount of driving and how often the wiper blades are used, Rain-X can last from 2-3 weeks to several months before a new application is necessary.

..The stuff i used is better value long term then  :y
