I use it on the cars I drive and have not had a problem. Elaine does not like it and finds the beads skipping up the windshield distracting, so I don't treat her Accord.

I have used it for years. I use it on both my vehicles but Patty does not like it so her car doesn't get treated. I have never had the wipers "skip"

I used Rain-X for a few years. I did not like the film it left. Now I use Zaino Glass polish to clean the windshield and then coat it with Zaino Clear Coat Polish. I only have to do that every one or two years instead of every 3 - 4 months. The water blows off at about 38 MPH with Rain-X. With Zaino it takes about 42 MPH to clear the water off.

I use a glass cleaning clay bar then apply a good glass polish. Lasts longer. removes small imperfections and no blade bouncing.

I think Rain X is a fantastic product not only does it repel rain but in the winter after applying it I found that snow and ice comes right off. I have never experienced the bouncing Rob.

I use it. I love it. All 3 cars always get it. I also use the washer fluid as it seems to continue to help the water bead up when the coating is wearing off. I'd say the washer fluid does 25% of the job compared to the actual coating.
