Just used RainX

[Cotty]

I have used it before on my crash helmet but never thought it was much good. I did a big cleaning session on my car a couple of weeks back and used RainX on the front screen.

Just been out in the rain and wow amazing. The rain was actually running up the screen when your driving along, coupled with some new wipers im very impressed with the results.

Hi Cotty.

How is this stuff actually applied?? Is it simply wipe on buff off, or left on to dry then buff off??

Thanks

I agree it is a product that does what it claims... but it doesn't last very long.

Instruction on the bottle but its something like wipe on, wait for it to go misty, reapply, pour water on the screen and buff off with a kitchen towel

we used to use this stuff when kart racing, always found it was no good unless you were doing 100mph+

[Cotty]

Well at 50/60 mph the rain is just beading up and running up the window.

I never really found it worked that well on a crash helmet when I was karting but that was probably because most of the time you are not going fast enough. Only hitting 75mph on the straight at Clay Pigeon rest ot the time your in tight corners and spray from the front wheel straight into your visor.

Rain-X is fantastic stuff though I'd agree with orangecurry that it wears off fairly quickly. It got me home when the wipers packed up in a mate's Fiesta on the motorway. Above 60 mph it worked brill. Got a bit hairy at low speeds though.

I also tried their anti-fog stuff once and found it to be much less impressive. It just made the windows smeary and was a bugger to shift too.

aah, Clay Pigeon, not been there for many many years.

3 Sisters was the fastest track I ever raced at for top speed 100+ with a 69 sprocket on the rear

We sell this at work.. have used it on my screen to.. and yes it really work's.. But you must use the conserver once a month or it brakes down and removes itself... But if used it will last 5 year's...

i used Mer's version iirc... It works for quite a while and from 40mph.. I drove to Ace with no wiper motor and back again in the rain and it saved the day, no way in hell would i have made it without the stuff

What is the conserver? can't I just reapply it?

[E30BeemerLad]

the soarer lads all swear by PIAA silicone wiper blades, damn pricey at £60 a pair but the difference is supposed to be outstanding.

[orangecurry]

they are only about 20 GBP on piaa.co.uk?

[E30BeemerLad]

the bloke has reduced his prices now it seems, but he's still a burglar and I still got banned from his poxy forum for telling other club members where to get parts cheaper than his poxy shop

[E30BeemerLad]

If you have the 2 can's stage 1 and 2 then all you need to do is spray stage 2 lightly once a month.. Was shown that this has the same effect with dust/ sand.

Also had mike brewer in the show room to promote the product 2 weeks ago..(got his face alover it) And he test drove one of my cutomers.. helped with the sale no end..

[zaust]

Can supply the full product(gardX), inside cloth/leather/plastic and carpet, outside, tyre and glass, and after care pack with all the bit's in james bond style breifcase for around 200 notes.. But you will not have to polish again for 5 years......

I just have the one yellow bottle. Ill wait until it wears off then reaply

I just use the std retail stuff too Paul, Fantastic stuff. Lasts ok if the wipers are in good condition imo

[e30_bob]

am a fan of the rain-x too. seems to mess up the car shampoo bubbles making them flat. am sure there is a scientific polymer-based reason bit who cares.

[stuartgallafant]

i love rain x, its the nuts!!

over 30 mph you dont even need you wipers on!!!
