RainX
- Thread starter Solari
- Start date
Saturday = Heavy Rain for my forecast
While I was putting it on I noticed a few small chips which I'd better sort out soon... annoying that I drove past a "Free windscreen chip repair" marquee too coming away from Halfrauds - D'oh!

Rainx is good stuff but i'd never put it on my windscreen again, works really well on my back window
Care to elaborate on why? Did you get smearing? I wanted it more for side/back windows and the mirrors tbh.
Well, I gave a light spraying all over the windscreen, wiped with paper towels all over until it was almost gone then used fresh paper towels to rub over again. No streaks or anything left on my windscreen so I hope I've applied it correctly.
Hrm the bottle does say a cotton cloth or paper towels IIRC. I'll give it a bit of a test with a hose later. If I've stuffed it up I'll have to wash and scrub it and start again (probably easier said than done)
I made the faux pas of not doing 50% of the screen at a time though...

I found a video on applying it so I think I should be ok, didn't mess up too much as far as I can see. I just used paper towels rather than a cloth, and there are no smears, it's sparkling so will let you know. 
I just did the usual clean with glass cleaner then applied it. Probably not a good idea to stick the rainx over any bug squishes etc.
I'm looking at retrofitting aero arms and wipers tbh. Might do that in a couple of weeks as I'm off work for a bit soon
EDIT: If I do get problems, what's the best way of getting this off.. I understand it's a polymer of some sort so some sort of abrasive polish I'd guess?

I will also like to see the retrofitted aero arms and wipers. Keep me posted mate
Will do... toying with the idea of a remap+RR again perhaps in 2 weeks' time as I have a bit of dosh coming. If I do go for it, it'll make the car a bit more interesting

Back on track.. what's best to get this off with? I'll have to take something with me in case of problems as I'm off to Froggy land tomorrow night. Apparently Halford's Glass Cleaner will work?
