rainx is like a polish that you put on the window and it makes all the water bead straight off so you can see through it better

The shaft connected to the wiper arm sticks a couple of inches out of the window if you don't remove it, so best to get rid! easy to remove it anyway, plus saves a bit of weight

some are very stiff. Mine was easy but i did Stokesy's (mk 2) and wouldnt come off so had to hacksaw the nut. Only took a minute with a junior hacksaw but sometimes you'l have to use the hacksaw if it doesnt budge with penetrating fluid (WD40, GT85 or PlusGas)

Good thinking! That way you get to keep the wiper arm if you wish to return to standard. Hacksaw ftl
