Once i started using this, i don't understand the other 99.9 % of drivers who doesn't...underrated product.

Super underrated! I totally agree! It’s an amazing product. I use it all the time! Thanks for watching James!

[@PerfDayToday]

@@GarageGear heh last night we were following a sedan in the rain, couldn’t even see through their rear window into the cabin. Been using rainx since the 1980s. Ill try the wet rag idea. I thought about buying a circular pad on a drill for buffing wax, use that on the glass maybe?

[@GarageGear]

@@PerfDayToday hey David! You shouldn’t need to go that far buffing it. A damp rag is all you need. That takes care of the haze fast. Thanks for watching

I remember back in the day my mom had a oldsmobile that didn’t have very good working wipers, we got caught in a storm a pulled into a parking lot the next day is the day I learned about rain x and I put it on my moms car and it worked great. Just got a bottle today for my car,man time flies.

[@vincentlaguardiagambini9727]

I love how straight to the point all your videos are. You explain succinctly everything we would want to know about the product, application, and your experience using it. For amateurs like myself I like how you often demonstrate on your own vehicles to show how the products are used. I first bought NuFinish after watching your tutorial and just bought this as well because it is very easy to apply after learning from your video and very affordable at my local hardware store.

[@GarageGear]

Awesome Vincent! Glad my videos are helping you out! I’ve been using these products for a very long time. And when I set this channel up a while back I wanted it to be an educational channel with a touch of entertainment lol! Thanks for being a cool fan! 👍

[@exil3dlivecom]

Don't do the damp cloth. By doing that you remove some of the rainx film. Spend the extra time buffing it with a clean cloth and you will have longer use of the product. And also the water beads will be AMAZING

[@GarageGear]

Thanks for sharing!

[@beesechurger2433]

Genuinly impressed with this product. I always thought my window was just damaged from rocks having little chips or genuinly from riding on dirt roads. Its nuts how oblivious i was because after i got this and followed these steps i was shocked at the beads and how i have no wiper streaks. This is nuts. Im so glad this video ended up on my feed randomly

[@horsenuts1831]

I've been using this stuff here in the UK for 25 years. Just done another application because I have a 300-mile drive overnight and it is going to rain all the way. This stuff makes your car safer It's quite possible to drive without wipers after applying this stuff. I also use it on the Velux windows in my loft as it keeps them clean longer.

[@GarageGear]

Awesome my friend we think alike!

[@GlennC789]

I've been using Rain-X a long time and have found that after the application stage you can just wash the windshield with water from a hose, or in my case I usually use a spray bottle of distilled water so it won't leave spots, and wipe it down with a soaking wet shop towel; basically remove what you just put on; except the molecular layer that's adhered to the glass stays and works just like in your video. It's a little quicker and easier than your method and there's never any visible haze left.

[@GarageGear]

Thanks for sharing glenn

[@travisjazzbo3490]

This is an excellent product to always have on obviously, but I would consider at must before a long road trip for sure.

[@AcmeRacing]

When a semi passes me and thows mist across my glass I love Rain-X. The wipers can't keep up with the deluge, but it beads and blows away without temporarily blinding me.

[@GarageGear]

This is a good point! Rain x definitely helps!

[@jtpro]

I've been using Rain-X for years. Before Rain-X came out my friends and I used to wax our windshields. Several years ago I tried that NXT wax which I loved on my vehicle on half of my windshield and Rain-X on the other half just to see how good Rain-X was compared to the old school days of us waxing the windshield. Rain X won hands down. Thanks for the tip on the damp microfiber. I don't know why I didn't think of it. 🙄 I either spray my car down afterwards or do it right before I go through a car wash. Not to mention the link to the big towel from chemical guys. 👍

[@GarageGear]

I've simplfied this even more. Sometimes before a wash, I'll apply rainx directly to a dirty window, as if using the rainx to clean the window. I'll go around and give each window a second coat, then I just rinse well and wash the car. It works just as good and really doesn't get much easier than that.

[@GarageGear]

[@billylacharity3443]

Good evening JB. Hopefully you are still paying attention to old vids. I applied RainX to my Outback, and afterwards I got terrible wiper chatter. The wipers were basically sticking to the windshield! I have since tried to remove the RainX with Alcohol, Dawn, Vinegar, Bartender's friend etc. They are much better, but what I do not understand, is why they began chattering and sticking to the windshield after applying the RainX. I washed the windshield first, even used a magic eraser to help get off some grime. I applied 2 coats, but I sprayed more on my towel before doing the second side, so I am thinking maybe I applied too much? I also buffed it off with a dry towel. Maybe using a wet towel would have made it better. To say I am scared to apply the RainX again, would be an understatement. We had to drive home on the highway through a busy city, 2.5 hr drive. In the bumper to bumper traffic, it was terrible! once at 60mph, it was fine as I did not need to wipe. Thanks

[@GarageGear]

Hey Billy! Not to step on your toes so to speak but I have been using this for decades and have never had this issue. Few questions. Did you apply the rain x the way I did in the video? And remove it the same way? Also how old are your wipers? I’m wondering if they are old and part of the issue.

[@billylacharity3443]

@@GarageGear I cleaned the window and applied using a microfiber cloth, but maybe it was the cloth I used? I sprayed it on the cloth, wiped one side, sprayed it on the cloth again, and did the other side. Then did a second coat the same way and then dry buffed it off with a new microfiber cloth, same style of cloth. It is not a tight weave cloth, it is a little more fluffy so to speak. So that is why I maybe think it was the cloth?

[@GarageGear]

@@billylacharity3443 usually I wet a rag and wipe it all off. Then I hit it with a dry rag for a final buff. Shouldn’t see any streaks. I would try that and see how it goes.

[@BigDaddysGarage]

Was glad to see you mention wax as well. I always wax my windows along with the rest of the vehicle.

I use Rain on my entire truck. It takes me 10-15 minutes to do my entire truck every 4 weeks. You can get it all over everything and it hurts nothin. No wax stuck in cracks. Don’t have to apply pressure to get it off so reduces chances for swirl marks. And it’s cheap. Keeps the dirt and water off my daily driver and it’s super fast and easy to do.

ROCK ON BRETT! Rain X makes a great product! Thanks for watching!

[@lichao420]

Did you applied the RainX on the paint of your car?

[@brettcall6]

@@lichao420 Yes, when I don’t have the time to wax my daily driver. I spray it on & use a damp cloth followed by a dry one to wipe off immediately. Obviously it’s not a perfect as waxing the car, but for something that takes less then 10 minutes it’s pretty good. Rain X advertises that it’s safe on all surfaces of your car. Even the plastics.

[@southernexposure123]

I bought some raInx and wanted to watch several videos to get the full scope of how to apply it and how it performs. This guy just convinced me to not use it on my front windshield because near the end of the video he said aplying car wax to the glass does the same thing. Many years ago when I could see a lot better than I see now I put car wax on my front windshield and all my other glass. I could hardly wait for it to wear off and stop working. At night in rain with the wipers going wax caused street lights and other vehicle lights to make such a glare that I was nearly blinded by that glare. It was especially bad at intersections and where there was a street light right at the intersetion. I had to go really slow and creep to make the turn and stay in the right place in the road to keep from looking like a drunk driver. No I wasn't drinking and driving. The car wax was OK in side windows and the rear glass. Since I already have have the rainx I'll use it on all the glass except the front windshield. Maybe that's just my experience. If so, OK.

Hey man I already have a bottle of Meguiar’s ultimate wax, is the rain x better or should I just use the Meguiar’s? I’m looking for application on the outside rear glass of my 2018 accord. I recently had the rear glass re tinted, and I noticed a spot that sheets water like a puddle on the outside, while the rest of the glass beads, ends up they used a torch on the top corner of the glass exterior during removal/installation, the heat removed any hydrophobic coating that the exterior surface of the glass had, so now I have to find a way to restore it.

I would stick with rain x on the glass. If your tint is applied to the inside of the glass you should not have any issues

Hey Brian! Works great on side windows and actually last longer on side windows because there is not as much hitting it like the windshield. If you have glass mirrors then use it but they are plastic do not. Thanks for watching!

[@brianananta175]

Thanks alot sir, i juwt applied water repellent and anti fog. I hope it works well

[@GarageGear]

@@brianananta175 awesome! Sounds like you’re all set!

[@floridagirl9064]

I just watched my neighbor put rainX on his brand new truck. He said "yours is next" & i have a newer truck with the dealers ceramic stuff on it still. Oh no

[@GarageGear]

I don’t believe they put ceramic coatings on the glass. I could be wrong but you could call your dealership and ask. Typically they just put that on painted surfaces. Also, you’ll know if you have it on there if the water beads up on your windshield and rushes off in rain storm. If not, then there is no coating on your windshield. Thanks for watching Florida Girl!

@@GarageGear what i mean is he put rainX on his actual truck. Not just the wimdows.

[@GarageGear]

@@floridagirl9064 oh I see what you mean. I know rain x makes a wax too but if he was using the window treatment on the paint that’s not good lol. Thanks for sharing!

Can this be applied to headlamps? Will it cause discolouring on the lamps?

[@GarageGear]

Good question! Plastic headlamps no. Glass headlamps I would say it’s ok. 👍 thanks for checking out my channel!

Does anyone's wiper start to make noise after applying Rain-X? Don't get me wrong, it is an excellent product, seems to cause the wiper to "stutter". Only apply it to the side mirrors and windows and the rear (sometimes, to avoid the "stutter") window.

[@GarageGear]

Hey Hana are your wipers a few years old?

[@yut576]

@@GarageGear do not recall, probably, the wiper is about 6 months before I start applying Rain-X. Not long after that, the wiper starts to stutter when using it. Just wondering - if we should not use the wiper when Rain-x is applied, at least till the application is dried /washed out? Btw, I live in the tropics and not sure of that plays a part. Cheers

[@GarageGear]

@@yut576 ok I wonder if the rubber on your wipers is dried out. I apply rain x about every 1 -2 months and replace wipers every two years.

[@mizaru84]

Yeah, there seems to be quite a number of cases of rain-X making the wipers chatter. It happened to my tesla model 3, and its new.

[@GarageGear]

@@mizaru84 perhaps you try car wax on the windshield. You’ll get the same water bearing effect but maybe no issues from the wipers.

How do I remove it from the windshield?

[@GarageGear]

Watch what I do to remove it at 2:09. Thanks for watching!

[@oyvind-b]

What a heck do I do when my vipers jump like kangaroos after applying Rain-X?

[@GarageGear]

Hey Oyvind, are your wipers a few years old? Or worn out? If so you may want to buy some new ones. I’ve never had this issue and I change my wipers every few years when they wear out. Thanks for checking out my channel. 👍

[@oyvind-b]

My old wipers was from around newyear, living in Norway with ice, snow and salt on the roads are hard on the wipers. Now i bought brand new ones with no change. My wipers continue jumping.

[@GarageGear]

@@oyvind-b I still think it has to be the wipers somehow. I’ve been using rain-x for 20 years without a problem. You could probably use isopropyl alcohol(or some strong glass cleaner) to remove the rain-x you just applied. If the wipers still jump then it’s not the rain-x. Perhaps it’s the type of wipers you have? I know that Bosch makes a pretty good wiper blade. Try removing it and see what happens.

[@88rushrocks]

Doesn’t last long in the Oregon rain forest

[@GarageGear]

Yeah depending on your climate it may be short lived.

[@joustindarmanta4011]

I feel that after using this product my wipers get rough and make light scratches on the glass. Is that normal?

[@GarageGear]

Hey Pam, I’ve been using this product for decades and have never heard of rain x scratching a windshield. It’s a liquid. I don’t see how it could. Have you checked your wipers? Do you live near a sandy beach? My guess is that maybe grains of sand blow on to your car and when you use the wipers it leaves scratches. Seen something like that before. Thanks for watching!

[@joustindarmanta4011]

@@GarageGear ah i got it. Sorry i mean the wiper blade feel like jumping when i use it on medium rain. But if the hard rain, it work perfectly. You know what i mean? Sorry too hard to explain 😅

[@GarageGear]

@@joustindarmanta4011 I have heard of this once before but not on my vehicle. Would getting newer or updated wiper blades help? Are yours older?

[@joustindarmanta4011]

@@GarageGear no. Im new car. It happen when the water is medium on the windshield. But if the water heavy or dry, it working fine.

[@GarageGear]

@@joustindarmanta4011 hmm this is odd. I put rain x on consistently every 1-2 months. I’ve been doing this for twenty years and have never had this issue. Perhaps try putting it on consistently for a few months and see if it changes. Other than that I’d have to imagine that maybe the shape of your windshield or the condition of the wipers would be the determining factor. Hard to say without actually seeing it.

[@namcat53]

It contains acetone, a flammable, carcinogenic substance. Wear protective gloves and use with adequate ventilation.

Don't forget to actually clean your wipers.

Applying rain X is easy, if someone cant follow manufacturers instructions then they shouldn't have a vehicle

[@GarageGear]

It’s pretty straightforward Adam! Thanks for watching

I dont even follow the directions. Just wipe a bunch on with a paper towel and wipe off the excess to its not hazing. Works fine.

I had a buddy in college that bought Rain-X chewing tobacco and would spit on his GF's back. Weird dude.

[@GarageGear]

Definitely a weird dude! Thanks for sharing

[@stubones]

I wanted to believe in this product but it seems to just come off after a couple of days. I follow the instructions to the letter…

[@GarageGear]

I usually get about a month or two depending on how much it rains. Are you putting enough of it on? I usually get the rag wet enough with it.

[@stubones]

I got a spray bottle and I coat the win screen liberally. Literally the day or two after application, it works wonders and then that’s it. Maybe it’s the spray solution that doesn’t last?
