Wheels Hangers... I Hate Them

I love the stuff. It takes a little bit of time to put it on correctly, but the results are great. I put it on before every track weekend just in case it rains. I will admit that I am way to lazy to just continually apply it for everyday use.

I love rain-x. It works great. After putting it on my car I hardly ever use my wipers at higher speeds.

Have you ever tried not using your wipers at high speeds without any rain-x? I've never put it on my car, and only have to use the wipers if it's really pouring.

If I was always the one trying it and got it wrong it would be user error.
If I wasn't always the one then I'm paying someone to do it for me. I'm wrong either way so just call me Ginger+.

I don't like using Rain-X because it seems to work great for 1 or 2 rainstorms and then causes the wipers to streak uncontrollably after that. Looking out the windshield at night with oncoming cars was like looking at a sheet of white.
Why do people just post what they are thinking? Without thinking.

dear all,
use this: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www1.epinions.com/content_167507234436">http://www1.epinions.com/content_167507234436</a><!-- m --> i've been using it for years in my cars and have turned a few friends on to it as well. it isn't all that easy to find (try walmart or target or a hardware store), but when i do find it i buy like 10 gallons. no application necessary, functions just the same as any other wiper fluid, and after a while your windshield gets super powers. seriously, i don't even use the wipers in the s any more. note: they have a green kind and an orange kind. the green kind sucks.

is the premium rainx washer fluid better than the regular rainX wiper fluid? edit: n/m red > orange > green ? never ever use the wiper fluid additive. that stuff sucks.
