Rain X

How do you properly use rain x sa windshield. Saan po ba maganda magpadetail ng carpet and leather seat ng SUV. Thanks

Just follow the instructions on the box. Suggestion ko, gawin mo sya before you wash the car, para pag wash mo, sabay na rin yung pag-alis ng haze sa windows mo. Some even suggest to leave it overnight and just wash the car the following day. They say the product adheres better and lasts longer.

As for interior detailing, go to Big Bert's Professional Detailers.

based on my observations, if i leave the Rain X overnight, ang ganda ng kapit nito. Halos di na ako gumagamit ng wiper pag umuulan and it stays that way for at least 2 months. But if i let it stay for less than the overnight duration, it usually wears off in a week.

Does Rain X "bond to the surface of the glass" ? Matatanggal ba ito sa windshield if you use the wipers ? Saka last question... may expiration date ba ito ? nakita ko kasi yung long lost rainx ko (more than one year lost) tapos nung ginamit ko sa side mirrors and rear mirror, parang wala masyadong effect...

i also put rain-x all over the car body. yep, not just on the windshield but all over. takes about 1/2 bottle to do it. result: di kinakapitan ng putik o dust car ko. if ever meron man, just a water hose gets rid of it without any need for a real wash. better than glaze.

check mo muna sa part na hindi kita to see if the paint does not react. most probably it won't do any harm naman.

as in apply rain x then leave overnigth? so sa morning mo na alis yung haze?

how do u deal with the wipers that act funny when your using rain x?

I used rain-x before but my wipers tend to skip so I stopped using it on my windshield. I kept using it on other windows though for a while.

I experienced the same thing. My brand new wiper blades skipped with RainX.

Try ko nga yung overnight application.

safe ba sya sa body paint? pano yun inaply mong wax? naaalis ba?

**BlackMagic** · September 24th, 2003 09:33 PM

leave it overnight and ask the driver to remove the haze in the morning hehe.

**yebo** · September 24th, 2003 09:45 PM

kaya nag-skip wiper blades baka madumi windshield when you applied rainx. try to clean muna with rubbing compound ang glass before applying rainx.

safe sya sa auto paint, otherwise e dami na sana law suits nyan sa US pa lang at for sure hindi naman maiwasan na di matapon yan sa paint.

di rin affected ang wax. i just applied it over the wax, parang glaze.

RainX isn't responsible for wiper chatter. A dirty windshield that requires polishing is.

**theveed** · September 26th, 2003 09:43 AM

I'm an avid rain-repellant user for the past 15 years or so that I've been driving... It really clears up the glass especially during bad rain storms where wipers just can't keep up... Usually when your wiper starts to chatter (assuming your glass is clean), just reapply the product and it'll be fine...

san nakakabili neto tsaka magkano? parati akong nabubwisit sa windshield ko tuwing umaga dahil sobrang hamog.

**yebo** · September 26th, 2003 02:23 PM

happy_gilmore, dami nyan kahit saan pards. SM handyman, galeria (ano name ng store dun? yung sa basement?), and dun sa mga car accessories shop sa SM second floor. may nakita na rin ako nyan sa ordinary car parts shops. ask mo lang rainX.

2 klase rainX. one for exterior glass in the yellow plastic bottle para hindi kapitan ng tubig ang glass. another is for interior glass in the blue plastic bottle, para hindi mag-moisture dun sa loob. works like a defogger, effective yan lalo na sa side windows para di nag-moisture dun sa may side view mirror mo yung windows. saka sa rear windshield na rin, kahit di mo na gamitin defogger mo okay siya.

thx yebo.

**pajerokid** · September 26th, 2003 07:25 PM

by the way, there's another RainX product too. You're supposed to add it to the windshield washer reservoir.

**Ungas** · September 26th, 2003 07:28 PM

pajerokid::: Have you tried it yet? Reviews naman dyan...

**pajerokid** · September 26th, 2003 07:34 PM

Actually, no. Hehehe :D

I saw this sa DIY Shop in Greenhills. I was looking for RainX, but this was all they had.

**Ungas** · September 26th, 2003 07:46 PM

Either you will have to buy one, or I'll be the guinea pig this time, hahaha!
