OK. I went to the local Kragen and all the guys at the counter said rain-x
has this horrid problem very often. They get it all the time, they said.

They told me there are only two solutions.
Keep putting rainx on all the time so the film never gets spotty.
Or, remove the rainx with gunk or brake cleaner or other serious solvent.

One guy in the store who was listening sympathetically said that he wished
they never invented the stuff, it's so horrid.

Since my windshield had already gone spotty on me, I went with their
recommendation to gunk it off.

I bought the recommended brake cleaner and am letting it soak on the
windshield as we speak. Hopefully the rain-x spots will dissolve off.

Do you know of any better solution to remove rain-x (the brake cleaner
seemed to dry up pretty quickly)?

Real brilliant guys at Kragen!

Sounds more like you have dirty glass with some wax spotted on it.

You want to clean the glass and remove any crud on it, Go and buy some
ammonia based glass cleaner. Apply it and wipe the glass down really
good with it. Then use some crumpled newspaper to buff it dry. The glass
will be about as clean as you can get.
Replace the wiper blades as well.

Rain-X works very well if applied to CLEAN glass. It also has removal
instructions on the bottle!
