With rainX you still need the wiper to wipe off the stagnant water droplet on the windscreen. Unless you drive fast enough so that the droplet is blown away.

Silicone wipers aren't friendly with old and dry windshields compared to rubber.

Those failed with Rain-X.... RM68 only. Warranty 1 year.
1 bottle of Rain-X is less than RM20

My dad applied Rain X to my car about 2 weeks ago; was fine at first but started juddering badly 1-2 days ago even in moderate-heavy rain. :/

Is using soap water going to help?

not properly applied. apply again, like polishing , circular motion..
normally l do it 3 x . apply > let dry 10 minutes > repeat 3x.
lastly after 30 min wipe off the whitest layer. kaw tim.
enjoy. no more juggling .

Depends on what quality of the silicone wiper you use. Some boneless silicone wiper can't completely wipe the surface of the windscreen as it jumps. Get a quality silicone wiper that can last you longer.

Rain-X is definitely make a difference and you can see the water beding effect after applying it and when the rains come, it will swirl off the direction of the wind goes. Lesser energy needed to operate the wiper.

Agree. Obviously he didn't apply the RainX properly.

I've been using RainX since 1999, no issues.

What juddering? doh.gif

One wat to prolong the lifetime of your wiper is to lift it up when the car is parked under direct sunlight.

how long do you need to re-apply before the juddering starts?

do you have to clean like this before re-applying rain-x



just got some 0000 steel wool from aliexpress.com.

There is no juddering.
I only re-apply when I feel that the rainX coating isn't effective anymore.

If I feel that the windscreen is not smooth, I will use a piece of old clay bar to clean the windscreen before applying RainX.

You can use polish compound to polish the windscreen to become smooth. just like applied rain x. culprit was the harden water stains.

How rain X dispel water is with its silicon compound. Its not really reliable, which is why after sometime cooked under the sun, it will peel off. This causes uneven surface which skips or jutters your wipers. You will need to re apply the compound over and over again, just to cover off the peeled spots.

I would recommend compound such as AGC/22. The ingredient consist of teflon which lasts a very long time. 8-12 months based on my experience after a single application. if the windscreen gets sticky, just use a green scotchbrite to scrub off the harden debris and you will still have the teflon layer exposed. Compound requires a bit of special handling and it will harden under UV. Highly recommended as its certified to be used under aircraft.
