You should be able to wash it off. You do need to reapply it after a few rain showers. I remember you first tried it about 2 months ago. Have you put on another application since? Maybe thats whats causing the streaks. :shrug;

Personally I like it. But wash your windows it will be gone. The soap takes it off. Oh and try washing your wiper blades that may help with the streaks and chatter.

LOL it does. It is really nice in the morning it takes the dew off the window really well. Or the few times it rains it works really good.

I can verify what Twilight said...I had to replace my wiper blades in January, and I bought the car in July, all because I used Rain X winshield washer fluid. NEVER AGAIN!

Yeah, Rain-X does suck. You have to be going real fast for it to really work anyhow.

Uh I wouldn't suggest getting it anywhere near your paint. Coke is known to destroy things. The Coca-Cola Company has know for years the power of their soft drink. It is know to remove rust from metals, if you have a lug nut rusted onto a bolt put coke on it wiat a few min and it should come loose, or it degrease things such as an engine. Suposedly Coke uses their product to clean the engine of their trucks for a very long time now. But that is my 2cents.

Ever try the penny in coke trick where it supposedly eats at the coin? I left one in coke for three days and not a scratch on it...and I tried a new one and very old one to boot...I think these are all rumors to tell you the truth...

Man i thought i was the only one, i though i was getting very picky about things!!!

I used rain X on all my windows when i first bought my car, and for the first week it kicked, but then it started making my wipers skip like crazy and that got very anoying [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG] then after like 8 months my wipers started smearing on the way down rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh


You see i put it on my wifey's SUV too and it did the same thing so i figured it has to be the rain X. So i bought the hole wiper steal thing and everything (pairs) at canadian tire for her SUV and i evenualy when to honda to get some wiper rubbers, (the rubbers are just the rubber peice that touches the glass) for me. It's cheaper and it easier to change, then the whole thing [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

and now they work like a dream [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

so my concution is rain x kicks *** but just don't use it on the front windsheld or were you have wipers [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

PS. My rain X that i put on for all the other windows on my civic it's still kinda there witch is good cuz it's still working abit

Well I've been using it for over 38,000 miles and I still have my OEM blades. I've had streaks but you just gotta reapply the rain-x.

I love it.

Not necessarily, I can do about 25-30mph and it still works.

I personally love the stuff - which reminds me, I gotta get some more!

To remove Rain X from the glass try using the Clay bar. You can rub the clay onto the windshield when you are washing the car with soap. Rub the entire window down with the clay. This will remove the Rain-X. After you wipe the car dry and you do your windows. Make sure you use Window Cleaner. The window cleaner will get rid of whatever Rain X is left on the glass.

actually this is true...to a point...

the eating of a penny was with older variations of coke....

but nowadays it still eats away at things..but it's much more mild...it was in fact a class science project back in HS, we'd take old teeth and put it in coke. weighing it on one of those super fancy precise scales...and over a period of a week....the tooth does loose quite a bit of weight.

Ok guys I might loose all your respect on this I am a rain X user have only used my wipers maybe a dozen times. but coke does remove rain x . but on a side note I have used the c lay bar on my windows with a wax that comes with the Auto Armor enviro protection kit "paint protection" and it does thesame thing as rain x without streaking(doenst last as long though). . And Rain X is a fine art I think [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] because if you have to much on it streaks and if you dont have enough then you have to go to fast for it to work
