Rain-X

[Gary406]

just bought some rain-x .

has any1 ever used it and whats the results.

to me it seems like it isnt gonna work that good.

worth a try at £5.99. i bought it while i was at factors getting some autoglym glass polish , boy that stuff it brilliant.

[lozz]

yup mate it does what it says it does on the tin,
it repels water,

ipersonaly dont buy it tho as theres a better way

1bucket full of warm water
1 cap full of "Mer car polish"
mix it and throw the whole lot over the car
let it dry and then wipe it all off afterward chamois or microfibre cloths

it does the same job,
also Demon shine is good too does the same job as rain x

I had some for the clio, i didnt like it, you need to be going quick for the drips of water to fly off the windscreen and i didnt like the way it wiped off the screen.

I use a similar thing by a company called Carlack, works great on the motorway.

I used to use it on my Scimitars when they were my daily drivers.

It was a great help, but it was only used because 1960's/70's wipers are absoluely crap when compared to modern wipers.

It shouldn't be needed on a 406.

ive just put some aerofoil wipers on my 406 and they clear the screen great, the type you get on new cars.

were they a direct replacemetn for the standard wipers? where did you get them from?

[craigtd]

i got them off ebay item number 320515999059 yes they just fit the same as the standard ones, it only takes 2 mins to fit them.

rain x can be used on any car mate . modern or old.

especially the rear window on a 406 which hasnt got a rear wiper (mine hasnt anyway)

rain x creates a water proof barrier and helps the water run off the glass better keeping it nice and clear.

thats what it says on the tin anyway. will soon find out. i've yet to put it on .

i just polish the back windows and side windows of my 406 with car body autoglym, but not the windscreen lol it works a treat.
