Re: Strange? Question...
I use the hand spray wash and do a quick coat of wax to help with beading.
BUT, I didn't notice that my halo's got worse (I thank Lasik for the
halo's!)

Yep. I do it about once a year with Meguires and hit the side windows
every time I wax. Keeps em nice and shiny. I also think it helps with
heat in the summer and the bugs don't seem to stick so badly.

My windshield was the recipient of highway construction debris during
a 80 mph headwind. It defines pitted. :/
Haven't noticed any halo/rainbow effect and it seems the water scoots
off nicely. Then again it doesn't get terribly cold here.
I ..not so fondly.. remember using some fog-x or some such on the inside
of my truck windshield.. one bitterly cold day I exhaled on the inside
to clean a small smudge and the whole damn thing went opaque! :O
That was _not_ funny at the time. :)

Re: Strange? Question...
Wouldn't wax on the windshield contribute to "wiper chatter?"
I have been getting a lot of wiper chatter in the last few months. It comes
and goes. I replaced the wiper blades and the wiper arms, thinking that the
arm springs were old and weak.
I think it might be the Rain-X I have been using for the last couple of
months. I'm trying to clean off the Rain-X but it takes a few weeks to be
completely removed.
Anybody have "wiper chatter" problems on their TJ?
