Default Rain X

I cleaned my Windshield and wiped RainX about a week ago, everything looked nice and unbelievable clear. Well it rained today I got in my car and noticed the interior glass is all fogged up and when I say fogged up I mean undriveable, all I see is blur of color and light. so I thought I'd just wipe the glass and get done with it.

Well I guess Fog + RainX = a oily chemical substance that wont rub or come off. Well after 30 mins of hard scrubbing and 5+ dry towels, and some newspaper(newspaper works super well cleaning glass I stole the idea from a bum) I think I got most of it off. Anyone else have any luck with this product?

Are you saying that you applied the Rain-X to the inside? I've been using Rain-X (on the outside) for just about 10 years, and hate getting caught in the rain (in rentals, etc) without it.

Awesome product.

Rain X works great on the outside. But it does build up with grime between the layers over multiple applications. This needs to be stripped back down to clean glass once in a while. Use a good glass 'polish' to remove old Rain X.

I've had great results using it on the outside, never tried the inside stuff.

The Fog-X stuff doesn't work. Rain-X on the outside glass is stunningly good. I wouldn't be without it. I use it on the sideglass and mirrors too since we don't heated mirrors.

Aquapel works much better than RainX.
