      From a professional car detailer here's what you can do first you put Rain-X water repellent onto everything that's glass the outside mirrors the windows sunroof windshield back windshield leave the glaze on wash your vehicle with Spot Free Shine car wash and Rain-X Wash the whole thing rinse it off then you take this other Rain-X product called Spray and wipe slight Turtle Wax you put it on spray it on wipe it to your whole entire vehicle plus you have gaps rinsed off you have the water being technology not only on your glass but on the body of your vehicle and get this when you're driving down the highway the wind won't be able to grip your vehicle.

      As a professional detailer. Put the Rain-X on first then wash your vehicle that way you get the glaze of the Rain-X off your windshield. You know only put the Rain-X on to the windshield you put on the back windshield outside mirrors driver side window and passenger drive side windows. Now there's another type of rain next for your body of your vehicle is called spray and wipe Rain-X. You can put this on your hubcaps you can put it anywhere that's not glass on your vehicle when you're done you rinse it off you could either wipe it dry or let it air dry either one when rain hits your vehicle it just beats off and not only that the wind can't grip your vehicle either!

      It's proper annoying, mate. Being a delivery driver working all night, the city lights and this bloomin' haze get on my nerves. Not using your wipers with those little droplets? It's alright mostly, but those split-second moments, even up to 1, 2, 3 seconds, can be proper dodgy, could lead to a crash, even fatal, innit?
      I reckon it does the job on a right soaking day and in daylight, but...

    I too found that after applying the Rain-X my windscreen would momentarily haze or mist up after the wiper blades activated during rain. The hydrophobic quality of the Rain-X is undeniable, but I found that momentary hazing effect a bit off-putting unfortunately. Good video by the way, you went to a lot of effort, thanks

      Don’t worry. It will still work but probably will start going off quicker and might not be as strong as water might still bond to contaminants on your glass. You can clean it in a few weeks and reapply.

    Clean windshield first with glass cleaner.
    Make an applicator by folding about a fourth of a sheet of paper towel into a 2 inch square pad.
    You don’t want most of the rainex to be left on the applicator.
    Let it dry then wipe with a full sheet of paper towel wet with only water. This is to get the haze or streaks off.

    Hi what effect, if any, does Rain-x have on the very fine wiper marks/haze on a windscreen? Does it temporarily improve them in the same way Autoglym SRP fills paint swirl mark? Many thanks.

    • @juergen8361
      @juergen8361 Год назад +1

      First of all you need some Rain-X windshield wipers the flimsy ones. Then you need some Rain-X water repellent for your windshield back windshield outside mirrors sunroof driver side window and passenger side windows then you need to get this stuff it's called Rain-X Spot Free and strictly Shine car wash and then this other Rain-X stuff called Spray and wipe from Rain-X and spread all over your vehicle except for glass and on your hubcaps as well rinse it off then you'll see how your vehicle looks when everything beats off. It all depends on how much you detail your vehicle so if you were to do it once every 3 weeks still be perfect because right next only lasts for 3 to 6 weeks.

  • @rong8324
    @rong8324 Год назад +1

    Thanks. I agree rain X helps repel water. However, I seem to think that rain X also seems to leave the windows dirtier when it is not raining, perhaps because dirt and dust stick more to the windshield. Do you have any thoughts on this?

      I did not experience that problem. The surface should be smother. It’s not possible it negatively impacted your side window movement. Just a coincidence I guess.

  • @LiamBrady_AFC
    @LiamBrady_AFC 5 месяцев назад +1

    Hi everyone, I've read this product is highly inflammable - does this problem vanish after a few hours or minutes after it has been applied to your windscreen? If not how come they are still allowing it to be sold, when it is a fire hazard? I mean somebody could throw a cigarette butt on the windscreen and this would set it on fire.

    • @MDrives
      @MDrives  5 месяцев назад

      Hi. I’m sure the only form it might be flammable in will be as a fluid. It cures on your windscreen fast so something is evaporating in that process.

    Ummm, rain x is permanent in the coating, but the slickness wears off within 3 weeks or less. BUT, the coating beads INSANELY well. I durability tested it, I used abrasives, chemicals like soap alcohol oil wd40. And it didn’t come off or wear off. ITS INSANELY DURABLE

    • @halgalardinj

      When it's raining and you're using the wipers, that quick haze is constant because it doesn't have time to go away. Reduces visibility. Doesn't make sense.

      Yes but waxing glass won’t last as long as Rainx. Wax also isn’t as hydrophobic. I used to do that before I discovered it.
