Here's a little secret with RainX (don't tell anyone I told you guys)

1. Wash window with glass cleaner.
2. Get some RainX and load it up on heavy but you can use however much you like to use.
3. Allow it to dry for a little while. Vacuum the car or something.
4. Wash car. While you are washing the car, hit the windshield with your brush or mitt or whatever you are using. Wash the glass just like you were washing any other part of your car. When you rinse the car there will be no trace of haze or streaks in your glass and the RainX will be left to do its work the next time it rains.

I've always used Stoner's Invisible Glass for windows and have had excellent results. 303 for the top, just don't douse the applicator, or it'll run when it does rain.

Rain x is great, but doesn't seem to last well after a single rain shower.

I didn't see this post the first time, but I'll definitely have to give it a try.

Sup Ed,

RainX should last you a whole rainy season, maybe a second application during the middle of the rainy season when the effect of RainX diminishes. Just make sure you really get the windows clean before applying RainX, claybar the windows and use a alcohol base cleaner after then whatever glass cleaner you use.

You can also use Klasse twins too, if you want. That is what I am using right now. Both RainX and Klasse twins work great. I run my S without windshield wipers and never had a problem. But, if you do use the wipers, try not to use them too much or they will diminishes the effects.
