Rain-X application

[TRun]

I just bought a bottle of rain-x today and after reading the instructions I'm left wondering. What is the best way to apply it when your vehicle is parked outside all the time? Also how long does it take to fully dry?

id say clean the surface first..(carwash) .. after it dries.. apply the rain x with cloth.. rub in cirlces??.. until it dries... it looks like it evaporates when it dries... kinda like alcohol..
pretty neat product ..
correct me if im wrong.. but either way its pretty straight forward

x2 for washing the windows before application. Although the product says it can clean the window as well as give it the wax shield, Ive always washed my windows clean before applying RainX and its lasted about a month. (when i parked outside) I'll be honest though, I used my wipers less thinking it would keep the application on longer. Didnt do a formal test of it or anything, but it seemed to have lasted longer.

I love the stuff. I have been using it since time. I have found it best to clean my windows with news papers before applying.
The news papers tend not to leave as much residue that you would get from glass cleaner on the windows. I guess in some respect the glass cleaners that I would use would cut down on the application.

As far as length of time I can get a good 5 rain storms or a couple of weeks. I found that during the summer months in Virgina is when I don't get as along as I would from an application when its not hot as hell out side.

I clean the windows with Stoners Invisible Glass, then apply RainX to a cloth and rub it in small circles onto the window. I let it dry for about 5 to 10 minutes and then buff the haze off with a microfiber cloth and good to go.

After applying the concentrate with elbow grease, i keep it fresh by using the Rain-X windshield washer in the reservoir, its sold by the gallon.
Great in the summer months but not so great in the winter with the road salt'n all.

Guess I drive too much. I like the stuff but it does not last long at all.

I use rainx and rainx additive in the washer fluid.
