video Rainproof your windshield

in the first driving scene is was like "AHHH the cars going to hit you! you're on the wrong side... ohh..." yea, but that looks pretty bad, I could even see the leftover potato grease in the window as you pulled away, that alone would drive me crazy. just get some new quality wipers every year

I agree with everyone. I wouldn't drive with this, and I've driven in rain that was too much for the wipers, it looks worse. I couldn't see through the windshield in the video. Accident waiting to happen. I would just use the wipers, that's what they're for.

I think the video makes it looks worse, because the camera was focused on the water, not the road.

That's odd, but I guess it makes sense.

There is another product called, "Aquapel" from PPG which is supposed to be even better and MUCH longer lasting than Rain-X.

It looks like an accident waiting to happen, it would only be good if it helped your windshield wipers shed more water, like rain X.
