Decamo has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Rain X

Rain X is awesome. I used to just put it on my windshield but the other day when I washed my car i decided to do the sides and rear too. The results are amazing! Definately apply some on the rear, visibility in rain is improved like 10 times.

Rain X propels the water off your windshield you hardly have to even use the windshield wipers, they use the same stuff on the cockpits of airplanes too I was hearing. Yeah I am going to put some rainx on once I move back home again, it rains a lot up there.

If you keep Rain x applied regularly it will help prevent hard water/acid spots on the glass.

Does anyone know if it's bad to put rain-x on your windows too much? 'cus I put it on like every couple weeks to try and avoid water spots. I wouldn't think it would hurt anything but just wondering.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Oh yeah, another thing I learned about it is......don't get any of it on the black trim, it will bleach it out and make it grayish. Also, be careful not to get any on the paint.

The only thing I know it does is deteriorate the rubber in your wiper blades. Not too bad of a thing, since you don't need to use your wipers too often [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

My favourite part about rain-x is the straking effect of lights at night after you put a fresh coating on - good stuff overall

you put rain x on and it will streak your windshield when you use your wipers. not worth using if it rains only sometimes like in california
