Subject: RE: Rain-X on plastic window?

Charles asks about using Rain-X on the rear window....
 
Charles,
 
I'm not an expert but my gut tells me that this would be a bad idea. 
Rain-X does its "magic" by leaving >something< behind on the surface of the
glass.  That "something" just might permanently damage your plastic rear
window.
 
You might want to get Meguiar's new #18 window cleaner/polish.  This new
item comes in a plastic spray bottle, is easy to apply and wipes off MUCH
more easily than the standard Meguiar's window cleaner or polish.  In fact,
#18 is so easy to use that I use it EVERY time I wash the car.  I'm betting
that frequent use will keep the "nasties" (bird droppings, acid rain,
pollution, etc.) from causing a premature demise (ie, low visibility) to my
plastic rear window.
 
Regarding the new '95 colors...  I've been told (reasonably reliable
source) that Montego Blue is a DEFINITE standard color for '95.  I've also
been told that a Burgandy shade will be the color used for the '95 Special
Edition.  Time will tell if my "source" is accurate.
