Hi Charles, I appreciate you taking the time to comment on the review and agree with what you say regarding starting with a clean windscreen and that the product works best when the vehicle is moving. I obviously didn't make it clear enough in my video, but the dirt I showed on the windscreen when sitting in the car was actually on the inside. I did clean the outside of the windscreen off camera to try to shorten the video length. I tested the water shedding capability of the product while the vehicle was stationary in order to compare to the advertising videos, which are demonstrated on a stationary vehicle and sprayed with a hose and show the water shedding off completely. I alluded to this in my closing comments when taking about the obvious AI generated advertising videos. I apologise for not making these points clear enough in my commentary. As for the Rain-X product, I'm not sure where you are living but here in Australia you can still buy Rain-X at Supercheap Auto, Repco and Autobarn. I'm glad you at least got some useful information on how to open and fill the applicator with the cleaning solution. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
Wow thank you Andy!! Your review was so very helpful and i'm so glad i saw it before i purchased. It definitely pays to do some research before you purchase! 🙂🙂
Just received this product. Directions were All in Chinese. Just finding your video,a bit too late I’am afraid. I now have a useless product that I can’t return. Thank you for the video. I wasn’t subscribed,but I’am now.
@judithgarner585 Ahhh, sorry to hear you didn't see the review before purchasing. Thank you for watching and commenting and also your subscription. Cheers Andy 👍
Appreciate you making the video, had been looking for a test video for this for ages, something fishy when then they have to advertise so hard, literally been inundated with this advert 😅
The beading is what your after , as soon as you drive the air blows the beads straight off the glass - you don’t need wipers most of the time . I use this on motorcycle visors and windscreens -it gives massively improved visibility . Helpful hint - don’t put it on the inside - it fold up . If your going to test it - test it in operating conditions .
@jondavies2583 Hi Jon, I agree with you on how the product actually works as in the wind is intended to blow the beads off. However, all the advertising shows the product sheeting the water off while the vehicle is standing still. Also, they show how it works so as to make your side mirrors sheet clear of water for reversing, and the wind will not affect those. It is for those reasons that I reviewed the product standing still and sprayed it with a hose. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
I bought this and discovered there were no instructions. Found your video. Wish I had saw this before buying. Thank you so much! I hope others will find your video BEFORE Buying. :)
@aefelton9804 Yer, it's a shame sellers are permitted to create these advertising videos that completely misrepresent the way their product does or "doesn't" work. Sorry you found the review too late to save your cash. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Andy 👍
Great review video Andy. You saved me from wasting my time and this product creates more of a problem. I hope so many people can see your video before creating problems for themselves.
I got this stuff other day for my shower screen and car . I did find it worked better when the glass was wet. A couple of glass panels I had to do it a couple of times but the smell of the stuff inside does smell like safety glasses cleaner . It has worked for me tho. Great video
@LeeGlasson-r8e You're welcome Lee, shame I didn't get the video uploaded earlier for you, but it may help others make an informed choice. Thanks for watching mate.
@johndinh1977 Your very welcome John. I'm pleased you got the information you needed out of the review. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
Thanks for uploading the video as I literally had no idea how to use this product, but I have to tell you that your test is flawed. You need to start with a thoroughly clean windscreen as applying a coating to a dirty screen is pointless. Once cleaned and then let to dry, applying the product is straightforward and relatively easy. Testing to see if your screen is going to clear of water while sitting in your stationery vehicle is not indicative of how this coating works. As soon as you are driving and it rains, most of the water runs off screen and the use of the wipers is much reduced. I also used this on my headlights which are plastic and they have stayed clean for a week so far, I would normally have to wash them down every few days. This product is similar to one called Rain X ( no longer available? ) that us bikers used on our helmet visors. Once again, thank you for demonstrating how to open and fill the applier, I was at the point of binning it when I found your video so keep up the good work.
Yes the beads is what I want. Personally it’s clearer to me and that look was what I was going for. I already purchased mines. Im about to use it now 👍
Hi Ian, I'm really glad the review helped you make your decision to purchase as it is clearly the result that you are after. I hope that once you get it on the windscreen, it is as good as what you're expecting. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
Thanks Andy appreciate the review the beading reminds me of when ive waxed the car and the water stands on the paintwork , which is why we don't wax our windows . Great review
@edsmith4821 Yes, I totally agree. When you get droplets sitting on your car, you can easily end up with hard water stains, which are a bugger to remove. Thanks for watching and commenting with your kind words mate. Cheers Andy 👍
Wow! You are totally right! No instructions and it does not work! Just as you have demonstrated, quite the opposite!!! Thank you very much! I will not even try it!!!

Was nice to watch, just to see some sun and decent weather, mate.......I'm in the UK......so that doesnt happen here! Keep smilin, bloke.
@georgezuss2925 Yer mate, the applicator is probably the most useful part of the product, and you're right it took me some time to figure out how to get the cleaning fluid inside and flowing. You would be heading towards winter quite rapidly over in the UK, so not too many sunny days for you for a while, lol. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
I bought it in temu and needed directions so i found your video but I thought it was for the inside screen to remove oil. My windshield fogs up a lot inside and i was hoping this might help us
Unfortunately, this is a hydrophobic liquid coating that is used to repel water molecules and is designed to be used on the exterior windscreen. Sorry to hear you have wasted your money. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@brianthornton6068 Hi mate, as I said in the video, there were no english instructions on the box (there wasn't even a box, just a post bag). Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Andy 👍
Thanks for showing that the advertising for this is a sham! Which is silly, because it looks like the product might actually work in real life conditions, as beading is what you want from a products like this as that means it’s repelling the water from making a vision blurring film. The problem when companies use fake advertising, even with products that actually work like this might, is they ruin our faith in them. If the ad had just done what you did & shown a car driving with the beads flying off it would be a successful campaign! So the misleading is confusing! Keep up the good work, love it when people post real reviews for the rest of us to make a better informed decision on our purchases. It’s just a shame these days we need people like you! Thanks again.

Is it supposed to act like Rainex - where the water beads ups and blows off in motion? With Rainex they recommend cleaning the windscreen before applying.
Yep, I'm fully aware of that info. As you would have seen, if you had read my pinned comment at the top of the comments section. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
Thank you for the review. I bought this and there were no instructions on how to start using it. It didn't look like it worked but I think there needs to be alot more liquid as shown in the tik tok video. I will try and comment again.
@CinCitylicious Oh, OK, well, I don't do TikTok, so I've never seen that video. Give it a try and let me know how you go with it. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
Thank you for the video. II had ordered them over a month ago and they finally arrived. Open the pack to see the instructions where all in Chinese. Was not sure how to open the thing but after I saw y our video I knew I was on the right track. My had are not that strong so it took a screwdriver to pry the first part open and then a pair of pliers to remove the center piece. I am going to clean the windshield first then make sure it is dry before application. I'll let you know how it goes.
@DarrelHerron Hi Darren, that's interesting. I might make a second video review starting with a dry windscreen and see if that changes the result. Thanks for the feedback mate. Cheers Andy
@umrahkhan9151 OH great, I'm very pleased to hear that you saved your money 💰 hopefully more people will see the review and do the same. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
Hi mate good to hear from you again. Sounds like a dud, i've used many a product for windscreens think I got them from Supercheap mostly alll seemed to work good, this one looks like a dud, hows the arm mate hope youre feeling better. Take care matey. Len.
Hey there Len, as you say, it is most definitely a dud. I've tried a few different products but I'm always looking for something better, this is not it 😂. Yer my elbow is OK for general use, but not up to swinging a hammer for smithing I'm afraid 😢. I'm not sure it will ever get back to a point where I can fire up the forge, but I'll keep working on it. Cheers mate ⚒️
@@andywright2606 Yeah I'm the same looking for something better, sometimes it ends up not the case. Gee mate hope you can get back to it one day, it would be good. So take care and good to hear from you.
So just in short, after reading some comments here - the products actually *work* since the beads of water is *much* less, and probably going to fall off _while driving._ Am I right? Have you tried it when driving?
@Justusson Hey mate, I'm not sure what you mean by "the beads of water is much less", as the whole point of products like this, and Rain-X etc is that they actually create more beading, but I'll just make a couple of points. First up, if you have read my pinned comment, you will have seen the review was framed in comparison to the video advertising where the product was shown working on a stationary vehicle, so in that respect it doesn't work. As far as working on a vehicle in motion, yes, I have tested it, and you have to get up around 80kmh/50mph before the beads start to efficiently slide off the windscreen. So for open roads, long-distance touring, it would probably be effective, but your average driver commuting around at town speeds, I'd have to say it does nothing. I hope this clarifies your queries. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
@ It clarifies it very much! And yes, so true - to the comparison of their videos it does not work like that either. I appreciate you testing it! Sad to see them trying to fool like this. I wonder though, what it is that they have done to the windows - for them to “work” as well as they actually seem to,.. 🤔
@Justusson It's the new world of artificial intelligence I'm afraid. You can make anything look like whatever you want these days. Very deceptive, but it make them a lot of money from trusting buyers.
It is working. .. sort of. It beads and sheds water when you are driving and makes the wipers work better. Rain x is an American product that works much better. Thanks for your effort.
@DeniseAcklin-f5m Hi Denise, I have addressed these points in my pinned comment if you'd like to read it. Also, I can confirm that even when driving, you have to reach speeds of around 100km/60mph before the beads slide efficiently off the windscreen, which for me when driving around town (other than on the open hwy) is useless. I'd like to add that this product (unlike Rain-X) does not make your wipers work better. It leaves a smear on the windscreen that makes the wiper work less effectively. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
I already bought the thing and the directions say after applying the cleaner and scrubbing, you are supposed to WIPE IT DRY with a paper towel or dry cloth before spraying water and testing it.
@@ericbuyna1428 That's fare enough. You have nothing to lose as you have already spent the dollars. Good luck. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
Hi can you plz suggest some good products.On rainy days my windshield is the worst fog build up when wiper glides through worst visibility, there are water marks no matter what I do it still remains. I saw a video stating that its oil film buildup, if that's true - someone recommended 50-50 isopropyl alcohol and water works? what are your recommendations. and Much appreciated.
Hi AnshYadav. Firstly I would say that there are many different products marketed to clean windscreen and I in no way claim to be an expert on which ones are the best. You are correct when you say that there is usually an oil film (among other things) on the inside on the screen. A lot of this "grim" is from the gassing off of the many plastics/fabrics/paints/ that make up the interior of the modern car, as well as cigarette smoke and polishes used on your dash and seats. I would recommend first doing a good clean with a mild dish soap in warm water and then a rinse with fresh water, followed by a full rub with a new clay bar and barring fluid (this will remove the majority of the stubborn contaminants missed by the dish soap), then I would use a glass cleaner of your choice (personally I use "Stoner's Invisible Glass Cleaner"). I hope this information will help you avoid the worst of the fogging. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
So this product is just a small ceramic coating solution because ceramic coating is all the rave but it does my head in when the sun comes out and dries the water beads leaving dirty water marks all over the car
@MrTheomighty1 Yes totally agree. I went for a drive today with light drizzle and with the wipers on intermediate it just smears across the windscreen. Bloody Horrible
Ordered this product about about 3 1/2 weeks ago, arrived today. Cleaned windows first after doing a spot test. Can confirm, product does NOT work as they depict in their videos. RainX is a far better product and cheaper than their price from a New Zealand perspective. USD $27 = NZD$45.50 for 'Automotive Oil Film Cleaning Brush Product' vs NZD$12 for RainX Save your money.
Hey Judy, I really hope you are successful getting a refund, but I wouldn't hold my breath 😒. Please let me and the other viewers know if you're successful. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
I'm sorry, but I actually couldn't tell you due to the basic instructions being in Chinese. I just applied the product the same as the advertisements were showing. If you are going to try applying it and letting it dry, maybe you could get back to use and let us know if that works. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
The direction are in English on package From actual package Usage method Press the apply pressure to small red dot in the center of the sponge head to squeeze out the cleaner and apply it to the surface to be cleaned. Scrub the parts to be cleaned. Then wipe off excess foam and decomposed dirt with a damp cloth or paper towel wring out the water
@ghostmann7265 I can guarantee you that the instructions were not in english on any of the actual packaging that I received, and I believe that is the case for the majority of people replying in the comments. And if you were lucky enough to get the english instructions that you kindly posted, that still does not tell you how to get the cleaning liquid inside the sponge head reservoir (that rightly arrived empty for transpiration purposes), which is why I included that method in my review. Thanks for watching and commenting with those cleaning instructions. Kind regards, Andy 👍
Wish Id watched this before I wasted my money! As you say, zero instructions, even with Google Translate I couldn’t even see how to take the applicator apart to put the liquid in. Lesson learnt!
@kimfredericks2931 Ahhh, sorry to hear you also wasted your money. My hope is that more people who do a RUclips search before buying this product will now find my review and be able to make a more informed decision. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy
I should’ve watch the video first I went and bought 3 of them to give my kids for their cars now I’m stuck here with a product that might endanger my kids visibility when driving. Maybe I’ll save the sponge for waxing the windshield with carnauba wax the old school way
@wraithny1 OH, sorry to hear you ended up stuck with 3 of them. As you say, at least you can use the applicator with another product like carnauba wax. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
Rain x works great in the sense that it creates water beads and while driving these water beads slide off the windscreen with ease. When using wipers, the water wipes off with ease too and does not smear at all nor does it leave any oily film residue. I have Rain X on front, back and side windows as well as side mirrors, works great for me.
@TOMPARTS Yer mate, I think it's rubbish, and so is Rainx for that matter. It took me ages to get the shit of my windscreen, ended up using hot water with dish soap with super fine steel wool, then prepsol, and finally, I used a clay bar. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
@barbaranees1038 Hi Barbara, a clay bar is a small bar of very fine, high-quality clay. It is flattened out between your fingers and used in combination with a barring fluid to rub (gently) across the surface you wish to clean. It is traditionally used on the painted surface of your car to remove road contaminants (oil/grease/tar/bitumen/bird drippings, etc) prior to polishing and waxing. The surface of the clay traps these contaminants within the clay, so when you see a significant build up of this grim, you just fold the clay in half and spread it back out to reveal a clean surface to continue rubbing. *Note, always give the surfaces you're going to bar a very good wash prior to using the bar. You can buy both these products at any automotive store. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
@JenniferStewart-hk8wp Your welcome. That's what I was hoping I could do for people, save them from wasting their money. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
That’s exactly what you want it to do it’s the beads of water that run off easily when you’re driving, instead of the “invisible” water film that stays with the windshield and it makes it impossible to see while driving 😂
Thanks for this video, I was looking for a video like yours!! They show on their website, that in a stand still parking, the water just rolls off!! You did exactly what they showed in their video so thank you. I definitely will not be buying this product.
@MsRican143 Thank you for recognising that the review is an attempt to compare the adverts' results to the real-world results using their demonstrated methods. Quite a few commenters have not grasped that. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
Hi @VYG4300, Thanks for sharing that info. It's hard to know what the instructions say as the vast majority of people who have purchased this product received it with the instructions on Chinese. As you can see by my pinned comment, I did fully wash the exterior of the windscreen prior to applying the product and then rinsed with water. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
Hi Karen, in the time between me showing the windscreen from inside when I put the washer on, and starting the application of the oil film remover product the windscreen had fully dried out so the first strip that I applied the product to was on a "DRY" windscreen and there was zero difference between that and the rest of the screen. Unfortunately, due to most viewers having such short attention spans these days, content creator have to make their videos really short, and as a result, a lot of quite informative explanatory information is often edited out. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
Hi Lindajane9150, I'm not sure why you didn't get any fluid with yours, but from the results of my test the liquid that is supplied is worse than useless anyway, it just made a mess of my windscreen. I will soon be uploading a follow up video of another liquid product in comparison to the original liquid, so maybe that will help you decide which one to use? Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy
Yer jb_head7699 it really is a $hit product and exactly as you say, I've tried washing it off with several different glass cleaners but with no success. I'm going to have to get serious with harsh cleaners and then clay bar the entire windscreen surface and start again. Thanks for watching and commenting mate, Cheers Andy 👍
@jb_head7699 Yes I totally agree. I tried dish soap with super fine steel wool, then prepsol, and finally, a clay bar to get the crap off. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
Sorry you didn't like the video. I look forward to your comprehensive review with all the missing information I omitted. Thanks for watching and commenting

Was not sure how to open the thing but after I saw y our video I knew I was on the right track. My had are not that strong so it took a screwdriver to pry the first part open and then a pair of pliers to remove the center piece. I am going to clean the windshield first then make sure it is dry before application. I'll let you know how it goes.
@scruffybeard349 I'm glad the video was a help. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers mate 👍
I used it on a dry windscreen. Worked as advertised.
@DarrelHerron Hi Darren, that's interesting. I might make a second video review starting with a dry windscreen and see if that changes the result. Thanks for the feedback mate. Cheers Andy

@umrahkhan9151 OH great, I'm very pleased to hear that you saved your money 💰 hopefully more people will see the review and do the same. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
Thank you so much for this review
Hi mate good to hear from you again. Sounds like a dud, i've used many a product for windscreens think I got them from Supercheap mostly alll seemed to work good, this one looks like a dud, hows the arm mate hope youre feeling better. Take care matey. Len.
Hey there Len, as you say, it is most definitely a dud. I've tried a few different products but I'm always looking for something better, this is not it 😂. Yer my elbow is OK for general use, but not up to swinging a hammer for smithing I'm afraid 😢. I'm not sure it will ever get back to a point where I can fire up the forge, but I'll keep working on it.
Cheers mate ⚒️
@@andywright2606 Yeah I'm the same looking for something better, sometimes it ends up not the case. Gee mate hope you can get back to it one day, it would be good. So take care and good to hear from you.
So just in short, after reading some comments here - the products actually *work* since the beads of water is *much* less, and probably going to fall off _while driving._ Am I right? Have you tried it when driving?
@Justusson Hey mate, I'm not sure what you mean by "the beads of water is much less", as the whole point of products like this, and Rain-X etc is that they actually create more beading, but I'll just make a couple of points. First up, if you have read my pinned comment, you will have seen the review was framed in comparison to the video advertising where the product was shown working on a stationary vehicle, so in that respect it doesn't work. As far as working on a vehicle in motion, yes, I have tested it, and you have to get up around 80kmh/50mph before the beads start to efficiently slide off the windscreen. So for open roads, long-distance touring, it would probably be effective, but your average driver commuting around at town speeds, I'd have to say it does nothing. I hope this clarifies your queries. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
@ It clarifies it very much! And yes, so true - to the comparison of their videos it does not work like that either. I appreciate you testing it! Sad to see them trying to fool like this.
I wonder though, what it is that they have done to the windows - for them to “work” as well as they actually seem to,.. 🤔
@Justusson It's the new world of artificial intelligence I'm afraid. You can make anything look like whatever you want these days. Very deceptive, but it make them a lot of money from trusting buyers.
Thank you for the video. I appreciate it.
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting.
It is working. .. sort of. It beads and sheds water when you are driving and makes the wipers work better. Rain x is an American product that works much better. Thanks for your effort.
@DeniseAcklin-f5m Hi Denise, I have addressed these points in my pinned comment if you'd like to read it.
Also, I can confirm that even when driving, you have to reach speeds of around 100km/60mph before the beads slide efficiently off the windscreen, which for me when driving around town (other than on the open hwy) is useless. I'd like to add that this product (unlike Rain-X) does not make your wipers work better. It leaves a smear on the windscreen that makes the wiper work less effectively. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
Thank you sir for saving me some money
@charleskiwabs5230 Your welcome Charles. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy
I already bought the thing and the directions say after applying the cleaner and scrubbing, you are supposed to WIPE IT DRY with a paper towel or dry cloth before spraying water and testing it.
Appreciate the heads up 👍
No problem 👍
It’s a SCAM - thank you, Chris. I appreciate your review!!
Well I got it before I seen this video. Even though you showed us what it did for you I’m still going to try it.
@@ericbuyna1428 That's fare enough. You have nothing to lose as you have already spent the dollars. Good luck. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
Hi can you plz suggest some good products.On rainy days my windshield is the worst fog build up when wiper glides through worst visibility, there are water marks no matter what I do it still remains. I saw a video stating that its oil film buildup, if that's true - someone recommended 50-50 isopropyl alcohol and water works? what are your recommendations.
and Much appreciated.
Hi AnshYadav. Firstly I would say that there are many different products marketed to clean windscreen and I in no way claim to be an expert on which ones are the best. You are correct when you say that there is usually an oil film (among other things) on the inside on the screen. A lot of this "grim" is from the gassing off of the many plastics/fabrics/paints/ that make up the interior of the modern car, as well as cigarette smoke and polishes used on your dash and seats. I would recommend first doing a good clean with a mild dish soap in warm water and then a rinse with fresh water, followed by a full rub with a new clay bar and barring fluid (this will remove the majority of the stubborn contaminants missed by the dish soap), then I would use a glass cleaner of your choice (personally I use "Stoner's Invisible Glass Cleaner"). I hope this information will help you avoid the worst of the fogging. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
Wish I had seen your video before I ordered it and had the same result.
I'm sorry to hear that Gabriel. Hopefully the video will help others save their hard earned dollars. Thanks for watching and commenting mate. 👍
So this product is just a small ceramic coating solution because ceramic coating is all the rave but it does my head in when the sun comes out and dries the water beads leaving dirty water marks all over the car
@MrTheomighty1 Yes totally agree. I went for a drive today with light drizzle and with the wipers on intermediate it just smears across the windscreen. Bloody Horrible
Ordered this product about about 3 1/2 weeks ago, arrived today. Cleaned windows first after doing a spot test. Can confirm, product does NOT work as they depict in their videos.
RainX is a far better product and cheaper than their price from a New Zealand perspective.
USD $27 = NZD$45.50 for 'Automotive Oil Film Cleaning Brush Product'
vs
NZD$12 for RainX
Save your money.
Thank you 🤗 you DID same me my hard earned money … much appreciated… bloody scammers 😮

Aren’t you supposed to dry it after applying?
I'm sorry, but I actually couldn't tell you due to the basic instructions being in Chinese. I just applied the product the same as the advertisements were showing. If you are going to try applying it and letting it dry, maybe you could get back to use and let us know if that works. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
thank you for this video
@justhousewifing Your welcome, I hope this review saved you from wasting your money. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍

@jopsball-turret6969 Your welcome 👍
Thank you for the video
@@grandmastert01 You're very welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
The direction are in English on package
From actual package
Usage method Press the apply pressure to small red dot in the center of the sponge head to squeeze out the cleaner and apply it to the surface to be cleaned. Scrub the parts to be cleaned. Then wipe off excess foam and decomposed dirt with a damp cloth or paper towel wring out the water
@ghostmann7265 I can guarantee you that the instructions were not in english on any of the actual packaging that I received, and I believe that is the case for the majority of people replying in the comments. And if you were lucky enough to get the english instructions that you kindly posted, that still does not tell you how to get the cleaning liquid inside the sponge head reservoir (that rightly arrived empty for transpiration purposes), which is why I included that method in my review. Thanks for watching and commenting with those cleaning instructions. Kind regards, Andy 👍
Wish Id watched this before I wasted my money! As you say, zero instructions, even with Google Translate I couldn’t even see how to take the applicator apart to put the liquid in. Lesson learnt!
@kimfredericks2931 Ahhh, sorry to hear you also wasted your money. My hope is that more people who do a RUclips search before buying this product will now find my review and be able to make a more informed decision. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy
I should’ve watch the video first I went and bought 3 of them to give my kids for their cars now I’m stuck here with a product that might endanger my kids visibility when driving. Maybe I’ll save the sponge for waxing the windshield with carnauba wax the old school way
@wraithny1 OH, sorry to hear you ended up stuck with 3 of them. As you say, at least you can use the applicator with another product like carnauba wax. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
So basically, it's a copy of Rain-X with an applicator that smears. How does that compare with Rain-x on the other side?
Hi Scottc8152, Im sorry but I haven't tried Rain-x. I've never seen it in Australian stores. Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Cheers Andy
Rain x works great in the sense that it creates water beads and while driving these water beads slide off the windscreen with ease. When using wipers, the water wipes off with ease too and does not smear at all nor does it leave any oily film residue.
I have Rain X on front, back and side windows as well as side mirrors, works great for me.
Junk I dilute some Dawn with water and a micro fiber works fine. This reminds me of that Rainx crap. Lol!
@TOMPARTS Yer mate, I think it's rubbish, and so is Rainx for that matter. It took me ages to get the shit of my windscreen, ended up using hot water with dish soap with super fine steel wool, then prepsol, and finally, I used a clay bar. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
What is a clay bar?
@barbaranees1038 Hi Barbara, a clay bar is a small bar of very fine, high-quality clay. It is flattened out between your fingers and used in combination with a barring fluid to rub (gently) across the surface you wish to clean. It is traditionally used on the painted surface of your car to remove road contaminants (oil/grease/tar/bitumen/bird drippings, etc) prior to polishing and waxing. The surface of the clay traps these contaminants within the clay, so when you see a significant build up of this grim, you just fold the clay in half and spread it back out to reveal a clean surface to continue rubbing. *Note, always give the surfaces you're going to bar a very good wash prior to using the bar. You can buy both these products at any automotive store. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
Thank you 🤗 you DID same me my hard earned money … much appreciated… bloody scammers 😮 thanks again Me 😃
@JenniferStewart-hk8wp Your welcome. That's what I was hoping I could do for people, save them from wasting their money. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
That’s exactly what you want it to do it’s the beads of water that run off easily when you’re driving, instead of the “invisible” water film that stays with the windshield and it makes it impossible to see while driving 😂
HaHaHa, your right that invisible water film is just so hard to see through LOL. Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Cheers Andy
Might as well use rain_x then. why have an applicator ? Waste of money. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for this video, I was looking for a video like yours!! They show on their website, that in a stand still parking, the water just rolls off!! You did exactly what they showed in their video so thank you. I definitely will not be buying this product.
@MsRican143 Thank you for recognising that the review is an attempt to compare the adverts' results to the real-world results using their demonstrated methods. Quite a few commenters have not grasped that. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
It’s the opposite of what the product’s video shows
Has anyone tried putting rain x in the brush
The directions tell u to rinse glass first, then apply film oil stuff, and lastly rinse again
Hi @VYG4300, Thanks for sharing that info. It's hard to know what the instructions say as the vast majority of people who have purchased this product received it with the instructions on Chinese. As you can see by my pinned comment, I did fully wash the exterior of the windscreen prior to applying the product and then rinsed with water. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
Thank you A.W. saved me!💸 Sorry you got gyped!

Vinegar.
Probably should have done it on a DRY windscreen.
Hi Karen, in the time between me showing the windscreen from inside when I put the washer on, and starting the application of the oil film remover product the windscreen had fully dried out so the first strip that I applied the product to was on a "DRY" windscreen and there was zero difference between that and the rest of the screen. Unfortunately, due to most viewers having such short attention spans these days, content creator have to make their videos really short, and as a result, a lot of quite informative explanatory information is often edited out. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
Deal or dud? dud
@Wj33333 Yep, 100% Dud, in my opinion. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Well I just wanted that money 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Me too
Horrible product. Mine didn't come with the liquid. Plus the sponge part broke off the minute I tried to use it. Don't buy it.
What liquid are you supposed to put in it mind also came with nothing
Hi Lindajane9150, I'm not sure why you didn't get any fluid with yours, but from the results of my test the liquid that is supplied is worse than useless anyway, it just made a mess of my windscreen. I will soon be uploading a follow up video of another liquid product in comparison to the original liquid, so maybe that will help you decide which one to use? Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy
Am comandat si eu din China de pe AliExpress, o mare porcarie nu face nimic 😂😂😂
Yer, it's definitely not what the advertising video claims, that's for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting cheers Andy 👍
I bought some of this product...TERRIBLE....TERRIBLE!! HARD TO WASH OFF!!!
Yer jb_head7699 it really is a $hit product and exactly as you say, I've tried washing it off with several different glass cleaners but with no success. I'm going to have to get serious with harsh cleaners and then clay bar the entire windscreen surface and start again. Thanks for watching and commenting mate, Cheers Andy 👍
@jb_head7699 Yes I totally agree. I tried dish soap with super fine steel wool, then prepsol, and finally, a clay bar to get the crap off. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers Andy 👍
