With all the interest in RainX lately, I want to add my experience.
It _does_ work as wonderfully as indicated, but I found that once you
apply it to a windshield, you have to keep applying it for the life of
that glass.  If not, once it wears off and is not reapplied, the
windshield becomes very bad in the rain, and wipers don't help much at
all. A new application solves this, sure, and restores the usual
properties, but its annoying to have the glass become "addicted" to
the stuff.  I found this out on a previous car I tried RainX on, and
there's no way I'd put the stuff on my Miata.
