Poundland reccomendation!
Thought i would give this a try with it only being a pound.
Actually suprised me, it works just as well as rain-x etc
Definitely worth picking one up!

No mate, you just spray it directly onto the glass, rub it in and then buff.. same method as polish really!

People should only really comment if they have experience using a product, it baffles me how some people slate something because its cheap but have never used it??, if the op says it works then fair enough, I might pick up one for myself, gotta be worth a shot.

Who is slating it or are you referring to past experiences?

To be fair if it works and it cost £1 and not about £8 which the rain x costs, well worth trying!

Past experience on here dude,some people automatically assume because something is cheaper then its not as good.
Some examples of Cheaper products that punch well above their price tag are Collinite and Finish Kare, both highly rated LSP's and more than half the price of the competition, proving that gaining the best finish doesn't have to cost a bomb, just my 2 pence worth.

A bit like those Kent cloths I believe you posted?
I got 12 at a cost of £3.80! Not great for polishing / buffing wax I doubt but my windows, interior, engine bay and wheels shall be kept well with these decent cloths for quite a while 
I've never been into these rain reppelant products, and never tried any but I may pick a bottle of this up and give it a burst.
Good find by the op

I used to use the Halfrauds Rain-x and didn't rate it to be honest.
But for a pound you can't go wrong
