Cut a spud in half and rub that on the rear screen, it works and is cheaper that Rainex

The Mrs is constantly fed up with having no rear wiper
We both hate poor visability in any direction.

Rainx sounds like it may be the answer.

Anyone tried it, or got any better ideas?

Cheers

This might sound a silly question, but why doesn't she use the rear wiper? :-?

She has a saloon with no rear wiper
I have the estate

Sorry guys to throw the thread but hey DAVE a fellow Sittingbourne camper welcome matey.
  Never used Rainx but bob heath motorcycle accesories do a spray to stop visors misting and a coat to help water run off the visor, might be cheaper checking out local bike shop

This reminds me of an old joke…

A cowboy is riding his horse in the desert sun. Far over the horizon, he sees the image of a person on a horse and next to it another person walking. As he gets closer and the images become bigger, he can clearly see an Indian chief riding a horse and next to him walking is a young Indian woman. The cowboy is surprised to see the woman walk such a long distance on foot in the desert while the man is riding the horse, so he stops and asks ‘How come you’re riding the horse and the woman is walking?’. The chief looks at him as if stating the obvious and said ‘that’s because she ain’t got no horse…’

I've used RainX before with good success.  It works like a high gloss polish by making the water clump together in beads which are forced away by speed - hence the 40mph reference.  But it streaks if you use the wipers - so if you can do 0 - 40 without looking its perfect.

Rear window would add benefit for little cost and it's better than nowt.

Side windows - do the rears first & see how you get on.  I found the water beaded then froze at night and it restricts visibilty until cleared - but this is easily done with a swift wipe with a credit card.

They also do a RainX anti fog for the inside - I've just got 2 for £1 in the pound shop. HTH

Gotta be Barclaycard - don't want to trust it to a yank ( no offence Theo)

Good stuff i always use it

I'm sure Rainx is great for the outside of screens, and probably inside screens too. However, My dad ran  fish and chip van for years, trying all manner of things to keep his screen mist free. Eventually he tried using neat washing-up liquid, which worked a treat, even in his steamy van. The only downside was that it would make the screen a bit blury until it dried off a bit. Then again, I don't suppose your wife will be doing a lot of frying inside her omega, so perhaps this would be overkill?!
