Good to know. All this time I thought the X stood for X-tra streaks.

What about the windshield?

I Love RainX! I hardly ever use my wipers; mostly need them driving at low speeds. It is reputed to make your wiper blades wear out sooner & this may be true, but since I don't use mine much with RainX on the windshield, maybe not so much. I don't care for the bug be gone version of the washer fluid as it leaves yucky brown residue. I have not put any RainX washer fluid in my Camaro. I just use the RainX on the windshield whenever I wax & it is good to go!

Adam's Glass Sealant is superior to Rain-X imo.

Use it on all my cars, seems to work better on my daughter's neon the best. Don't know if it is because of the angle or what. I love the stuff, trick is to make sure your windows are really clean.

I agree.

RainX is great for the Over the counter stuff though.
