I have always used the Rain-X washer fluid. It's good stuff! And for wipers, I tried the rain-x solid wipers but found that the Michelins work better.

I just buy cheap ones cause I honestly hardly use them anymore. I had nice ones when I did rain x and they still left a streak in the one spot of my windshield just cause of the curve I guess

love that stuff lol I noticed a huge difference because my mom was being nice while at the store and picked me up some of the non rain x brand and I didnt say anything and just used it, but man the rain x is a big difference.

One of the best things you can do to improve visibility on your windshield is to clay it, insde and out! Glass is very pourous, sometimes more pourous than paint. Use Glass Cleaner as lubricant.

Never used the Rain X fluid, but I do use the wipers and I love them! They are expensive though. And, I agree with Eric clay on the glass makes a huge difference!

Correct, just like you would on the paint. And if you use the Adams glass cleaner and towels, it won't streak or leave fuzz.

I love the Rain-X fluid. I use it in my patrol car. Sometimes at high speeds the wind lifts the wiper blades and they do a lousy job when you need them most. Rain-X fluid makes the rain sheet off without blocking your vision.
