Well, that's part of the problem. It takes forever to get it on
correctly and goes bad real fast. With all the time involved in using
the product, I could have gotten in the Jeep and driven to my
desitnation. With the money I can buy a nice fresh set of wiper blades.
About the only situation that I can see Rain-X being useful is when you
have a problem with the wiper motor. Otherwise, it is rather counter
productive, like the Cone of Silence on Get Smart.

Hi Lon,
I use denatured alcohol, to clean my windshield of all traces left
from car wash waxes, and the sun baked on rubber from the blades, that
cause the skipping, vibration, that screw up the perfect squeegee action
of new blades.

I'd have to agree with that, perhaps not in the way you appear
to mean though. The stuff works best when you spend enough
hours and chemicals to completely remove all traces of the crap
and run with a clean windshield.
