Brilliant mate!
Beads the rain really well and just slides off as you drive along the motorway, lasts a long time too! Dont get in in Sainsbury's though, they charge about £6 when ASDA sell it for about £3 a spray bottle! :)
Worthwhile investment buddy! :)

I have just got it and I have never want'd it to rain so much haha :P i got it in Tesco for £6 quid but it was a normal bottle... not the spray. Went in Halfords and its £8.99 or so for the same thing!

Agree, use this on front windscreen - and in the rain could drive without wipers on, beads off so quickly.

I think theirs an offer at B&Q 3 for 2 on car cleaning products, worth a look and theirs loads of cleaning stuff.

Carlack is better.
But, if you wanna use rain-x, here's the best way. Use a glass polish if you have one, clean the glass lots and lots. Apply rain-x (I used an old sponge) leave 10-15 minutes. Important bit, mist a small amount of water (garden sprayer) on the glass then buff the rain-x off with a microfiber. Give it 2-4 coats. Then either fit new wipers or clean your old ones lots and lots. Wipers take loads of cleaning.
Brilliant beading and zero smearing.

Ive used rain X quite a bit, couldn't give it a bad review really, havent had any problems with smearing and seeing the water come streaming off when your driving along the roads pretty good. Obviously there probably is better out there if you pay the price..

I hate it, it smeared the windscreen for me after every blade action. Other people swear by it. Roll the dice and try for yourself.......A glass polish will take it off if you dont like it by the way
