windshield "wax?"

has anyone ever used those windshield treatments that supposdly help the rain (light mud) bead up and "roll off your glass" ?

i had a 1977 trans am that unless it was a tropical storm, i rarely used my wipers because the rain beaded off so well...

i did see some webpage selling some kind of treatment and wondered if anyone here had a good out come by using any and if so what kind?

thx

Ive used "Rain-X" I believe it was called on a company vehicle that didnt have a working defroster...and it actually did work.

You can prolly try just using automotive wax......I used to do that way before those "treatments" ever came out....

Rain-X is definately the way to go! I have used it for over 19 years, not a problem one.

I used to use Rain-x but had to give it up as it drove my wife crazy. You know, TURN THE WIPERS ON, TURN THE WIPERS ON, I CAN'T SEE! It was fun for awhile but I caved in.

Ha mine too!!!

It is great though to drive 60 mph without the wipers on.
