I had one batch of the generic stuff that froze someplace on the way to
the read window washer but most of it has functioned well.

I used RainX on a truck windshield about 20 years ago and that
experience turned me off. It looked like the glass had a sheen of oil
when after i applied it and buffed it. There seem to be happy users so I
might try it again.

FWIW, when I talk about using Rain-X, and liking it, I am not talking about the "apply it-buff it"
stuff.

I am talking about the Rain-X washer fluid that you pour into the washer fluid reservoir and
apply via the sprayers.

I too used the wipe on stuff years ago and I hated it. The washer fluid is a different story. Since
it is mixed with water, it doesn't build up or need to be buffed out. When the rainwater stops
flowing off the windshield, I just give it a few quick sprays and it's good to go. In most cases,
I don't even need the wipers at speeds above 40MPH. For road spray, the longest intermittent
setting is sufficient.
