RainX: Should be illegal NOT to!

[rG-tom]

Hey guys,

Dunno how many of you here use it, but I recently tried RainX on the e46, and with the recent heavy rainfall, I have been amazed at how good it is.

As a test on Sunday, on the motorway doing 85mph in torrential rain, where most cars would have required to have the wipers on at full whack, even having the wipers off for sustained periods of time was completely feasible, I actually tried it on a quiet section of motorway and I honestly could drive and see comfortably in heavy rain with the wipers switched to off, water was literally falling off the windscreen. Sounds far fetched, but it really isnt, the water beads very quickly and then goes up over the top of the car.

If anyone hasn't tried it, TRY IT!

PS don't just get the spray or the wipes it has to be the proper liquid stuff you apply to a cloth

I found it pants. Perhaps I didn't put it on properly but when I was doing slow speeds and HAD to use the wipers, it just smeared crap all over my windscreen and I couldn't see a thing hardly!

I really wanted it to work aswell.

the first time i tried it on the mondeo i had similar results, not qutie sure why, so i threw it to the back of the cupboard.....tried it again and spent more time making sure the windscreen was clean beforehand and it was far far better.

I don't need rainx becuase my car is fitted with windscreen wipers.

and what about in extremely torrential rain when there is still a patch between wipes where there is water there? Complete none issue with rainx

You guys did apply it then wipe off the residue with a clean cloth yea?

 

[rG-tom]

good stuff but why? other drivers may not be able to see you in said bad weather? you can see excellently, so you decide to drive like a fool?

on a straight nearly empty motorway in broad day light with (quite bright xenon) headlights on? 85mph on a 4 lane motorway is hardly mach 10 is it now, I still had the odd tool or two fly past considerably quicker.

guys, you're forgetting they key point here, I could do 150mph in torrential rain, as I've got DSC

But your car will never be no where near as fun as a rover.

at last a double negative that makes sense!
