It does work, speaking of the stuff you wipe on, but it doesn't last very long and I don't think it is worth the effort. Good fresh wiper blades are all that is needed IMO.
But I live in So Cal, so I am no expert on dealing with rain.
Has anyone tried the Rain-X washer fluid? I was tempted, but it cost quite a bit more.

I use the rain-x washer fluid, i got it at target for 3 something for a pretty big jug. Works well, but sometimes with light rain it creates a little screen thats hard to see through and i just have to turn on my wipers for a pass every now and then

I don't know if it was my blades or the treatment ( I know it wasn't the fluid) but there was rain x on my truck when I bought it and it worked great. I could drive down the freeway in heavy rain* without my wipers on.
*Heavy for SoCal. Your experience may vary.

I love Rain X. I apply it as needed usually every other wash or so. The carwash soap I use has carnuba in it so that helps also. Like said earlier, during a decent rain I dont even need to run the wipers much. I love watching the poeple with the blades just a whaling and they still cant see out the windshield. Comes in handy cause I still run the stock Conti's and need to watch for deep water puddles. hahaha. Nice thread, I'm due for replacements before winter. Add it to the list.

I was going to say it seemed like it had ED (erectial disfunction) because that's all I could think of to describe it, but decided that was across the line. But since you went there anyway...
