I guess I started all this Rain-X discussion with my crude question
(apologies). I'm still trying to decide whether to try it. One thing for
sure 'quot homines tot sententiae'...as many letters as get posted, that's
the number of different opinions (on everything here). What a refreshing
group!

I bought a bottle of Dri-Wash a month ago that I'd really like to try. From
the lack of discussion I'm assuming that a lot of people,like me, want a
bit more evidence from the 'miata cognoscenti'. This is supposed to be one
of the great new products, I'm told. Can we have a show of hands from those
who have tried it?

I know you're just kidding and trying to start a flame war on this
one......I'm not taking the bait!
