Put Rain-x on your windscreen and you can drive along in the rain without using your wipers (this only really works over 30 mph). The downside is the wipers will smear when you use them and all the windows get a haze over them every morning but this can be cleared by pouring water over them.

So overall it works well - its quite cool not having your wipers on when its lashing it down and watching the water bead away. But if most of your driving is round town and under 30mph it can be a real pain and the stuff stays on the windows for months!

This is a rated or hated thread - most replies seem to be of the hated variety - does this mean we are all being ripped off?

Sadly many companies just want to make money out of us and they come up with ever more inventive ways of getting us to part with it! There are good products out there but they just take a bit of finding and what is good on one car does not neccesarily work well on another.
