the official "I Love Rain-X" thread
I apply this to all my windows and mirrors on my Ranger about 3 times a year, so by now, it has a good coating.
Sure makes a GIGANTIC difference when I drive in the rain. Even the rear windows diffuse the rainwater quickly on my Ranger, which is good considering the back windows on Rangers dont get good airflow on them.
Most people only use on windsheilds, but put it on all your windows, your side mirrors, and your headlight/taillights.

I've used rain-x to good results, except that my windshield always seems to get weird scratches/streaks on it from wiper blades. I even used rain-x blades for awhile to try and get them to go away, but nothing did it.
It happened on my old Honda Del Sol and got to be so bad that I had to replace the windshield. Happened on my last ranger too, and sadly I had to wreck the truck to get rid of the streaks. Rain-X will not go on my new truck. I loved the benefit it gave, but those weird streaks were just too much for me.
What kind of rain-x did you get? I used the yellow bottle that you apply yourself using a rag. I also used their wiper blades, like I mentioned, and their rain-x wipes. All had the same effect.

i used to use it and loved it... but just stopped using it a while ago... for no real reason though... i just ran out one day, and never bothered to buy the stuff again. it worked great though. i never noticed that it shortened the wiper's lifespan.. but that's becuase i replace my wipers every other season anyway.. so the most my wipers stay on is usually 5 or 6 months

ever used Rain-x windshield washer? I tried last winter and i only took 2 gallons of it from january to... august on my car, wich includes a 3000 miles trip on january, plus and maybe a total of 9000miles since then. And during winters our road are just disgusting, normally I would have uses like 10-12 gallon of normal windshield washer.. just during winter..
On my ranger's windshied I only use the rain-x windshield washer w/o Rain-x, does a good job otherwise my other windows are Rain-xed
Just put some Rain-x on my semi-truck, I now can see in my mirrors while driving, I've putted some on my lateral windows so now I can see thru it!
I normally re-do it like twice a year and two thumbs up, last long, and if you use the windshield washer also, you'll have to do it maybe once..!
