RainX Glass Cleaner and Protector
In Asda at the moment, reduced from £4 to £2. Not quite the £1 they did it for a bit back, but still worth a look. Bought one to give it a go later, if its any good, I'll stock up

Good find, but personally I can't stand their rain repellent stuff.

Re: RainX Glass Cleaner and Protector
I find that rainX is smeary on the windscreen (and yes, I do try to polish it with a dry cloth etc as per the instructions), but is great for side windows/rear/wing mirrors.

Re: RainX Glass Cleaner and Protector
I've used it and had no problems at all other than it wears off over time and needs doing again. i've not used this cleaner/top up tho so hence giving it a go

Re: RainX Glass Cleaner and Protector
I've found RainX to be smeary and that it doens't last too long. Just personally wasn't a fan.
Maniac, let us know how the cleaner/top up works out.

Re: RainX Glass Cleaner and Protector
I've used RainX for years, and yes it does go smeary on the windscreen, but only after you've used the wipers.
It works at speed, so is no use around town @ 20/30 mph, also some road lights can cause a funny reflection.
It comes into its own over 40mph, so ideal for motorways It also stops water freezing, so no more scrape/scrape

Re: RainX Glass Cleaner and Protector
Didn't do that well in the AutoExpress group test last year.
Would have been slightly higher in the ranking if it had been cheaper.
I thought I'd try the EnduroShield one for a change, and it's been on for about 6 months. Doesn't need reapplying yet, and doesn't smear with the wipers.

Re: RainX Glass Cleaner and Protector
I don't expect this to be full on rainX.. just a cleaner with a bit of rainX in it... TBH I'm more interested in trying it on the shower screens, cos if it keeps em clean, I'll buy crap loads as I hate cleaning the bloody shower.

Re: RainX Glass Cleaner and Protector
I have some RainX which i only apply before long motorway journey,s , definitely needs buffing off once dry & have always found it works well at speed with no need for wipers . As already mentioned its ineffective & pointless under 60 mph
