Re: Rain X Windshield ??

No real cons.... just dont follow the directions.

Put it on, let it sit, then wipe off with a damp towel, then a dry towel.

Hi, i just bought Rain-X in spray, and I'm hesitating on how to apply it, so the way you say is: spray the window, let it sit, then wipe off with a damp (with water i guess? or rain-x) towel, then with a dry towel.

My idea on how to apply is:
- a section at a time, spray on window, spray on terry towel and distribute evenly like wax,
- let it sit (5-10 minutes or less?)
- then wipe off with a towel with very little water
- final wipe off with a dry towel

What do you think?

Thanks!!

Well, of course clay/clean the windows first.

I apply two coats, so I'll explain it that way. But if you prefer one coat, then just jump to the second removal part. So what I do is:

1. Spray RainX on paper towel, and apply to all the windows. (You want to learn to spray most things onto a cloth, not the car/surface)
2. Let it sit for a bit.
3. Give a very rough wipe with a MF towel. Not really worrying about removal.
4. Spray RainX on paper towel, and apply to all windows.
5. Let sit for a bit.
6. Get the above MF cloth fairly wet (not dripping, but not just a little damp, and yeah, water), and then a dry MF. Wipe the window good with the wet one, then the dry one.

Hope that explains it well.

Re: Rain X Windshield ??

I thought the 2 in 1 stuff was just some sort of window cleaner, like the Meg stuff...
It's actualy the same as the "normal" RainX but in a spray?

[Murr1525]

Re: Rain X Windshield ??

There is an Original RainX Spray, and a 2-in-1 RainX Cleaner/Treatment.

Re: Rain X Windshield ??

And the 2 in 1 is applied like you say? It's not so clear when reading the label...
Anyway, as for window CLEANER goes, Megs stuff is WAY easier to use...

Re: Rain X Windshield ??

The directions I gave were how I apply the spray version of the original treatment.

I have tried the RainX 2 in 1, and it seemed for me to need applied the same way. Which to me, kind of defeats the purpose. If I have to do a bit of a process, may as well do the full treatment.

Re: Rain X Windshield ??

Is it OK to add a coat of UQW on top of RainX? If only Meg could have us a RainX like product, we wouldn't be afraid to mix brands...

Re: Rain X Windshield ??

Probably not, but you can do a small spot and test it out. Shouldn't be mixing systems since they can contain lots of variables - they may play nice together or differ vastly.

Yes, I was talking about the original treatment spray version as well. I saw the other bottle 2-1 and read the label, but it seemed to me more like just a glass cleaner, so I decided to buy only the original treatment.

Thanks for providing the steps on how you apply it, I'll give it a try this weekend with daylight, I tried last night just in the rear side window (you know, test spot first) and apparently it worked, the surface feels soooo smooth and clearer than ever, let's see how it goes for the rest of the windows and the windshield. I'm looking forward to it, because Seattle area is back to it's normal rainy weather

Yeah, I RainX once in a while, and UQD/UQW with the rest of the car after I wash.

Do get a little smearing at times from that, but nothing bad.

Re: Rain X Windshield ??

you mean you UQW on to of Rain X, on the windshield?

[Murr1525]

Re: Rain X Windshield ??

Yeah.

Say I clay/clean/RainX the window every two months.

Then, for the in between washes every 2 weeks, I just wash the car, and then UQD or UQW everything.

Spray it on the window and wipe it off with a towel. It's just a glass cleaner.
