RainX

[madcampbell]

Does any one know if you can use the Rainx cleaner and Rainx rain reppellent on the inside of your window and over tint film??

Tried it on the bathroom mirror, works a treat

Don't want to spend another winter putting air con on/off and windows up and down to clear the screen
Thanks

Shouldn't hurt the inside of the windscreec - or any glass for that matter.. Not sure about the tint film though.... id do it in a corner... somewhere least noticeable and see what happens.... if no effect after a week i'd say its ok

cheapest solution and works the best for the insides is to use a drop of washing up liquid and simply polish it on with some paper towels or a soft cloth. does no harm and lasts ages.


Morrisons window cleaner is just as good too.

It's ok to use on normal glass but not so healthy on window tint. I managed to scrounge some foam spray from the guy who did my tints and it stops misting etc going to use iton the front screen as well as itis for all surfaces.
It is called FILM GUARD FOR SOLAR WINDOW FILMS.
Hope this is of use to you.
I swear by Rain-X on my windscreen have used it for years

Costco are doing the set at the minute for around a fiver. They are the 500ml larger bottles also!!!

Would any of these things stop the wipers squeaking? Mine are the loudest I've ever heard, drives me nuts! Or has anyone tried the wipers advertised as leaving a silicone film on the glass and stop squeaking??

Rainex do an anti mist formula as well as a rain repellant. it comes in a black bottle. I got a bottle as part of a twin pack.
but to be honest it doesn't work that much better than using a strong washing up liquid solution and polishing dry. - although it's a lot easier to apply!

But the best thing I've found is Autoglym's glass polish. goes on like a regular wax polish then dries to a very fine powder which wipes off effortlessly to leave a perfect smear free windscreen which stays mist free for weeks.

I've also insisted the wife doesn't talk to me in the car when it's cold as her hot breath steams up the windows .....doesn't stop the misting up but at least i can listen to the radio in peace!!!

rain-x makes me dizzy!!... you don't need wipers, but the rain beads and runs off... when you're driving, it get's blown off and your eyes follow it!!...

brilliant stuff though!... just a bit off putting!

Had to have been a bonus when you were courting though!
