Rain-X and Invisible Glass - 7/30/2007 9:28:22 AM    Adamation   Posts: 60 Joined: 7/12/2007 Status: offline I decided to try some Rain-X the other day. Maybe I didn't do it right, but I decided I don't like it that much, and also it does not seem to work well with Invisible Glass, which I use alot since my car is new and I'm a little obsessive. I've noticed since I tried the rain-x, I can see streaks from the Invisible Glass, which didn't happen before. Might seem like an odd question, but can I get the rain-x OFF somehow? Post #: 1

You may need to just buff it again with a cotton cloth. I usually have to do that again after a day or two. _____________________________ Driving takes 3 abilities: Accelerating+braking+turning.

Did you use the rain-x wipes, or the spray? _____________________________ Driving takes 3 abilities: Accelerating+braking+turning. More power only helps acceleration. Lower weight helps all 3.

I think if you sprayed rain-x right on the glass you might get way too much of it on there. _____________________________ Driving takes 3 abilities: Accelerating+braking+turning.

I dont know how distinct the hazy was suppose to be before I wiped it. I THINK the cloth I used to wipe afterwards might of been a little damp from water. I dont know if that would affect it negatively. I thought that might have something to do with the Invisible Glass now leaving behind the wipe lines that are heavily visible in the sun.
