Rain Repellant

[kulaog]

Hello po. My first post here in the forum.

Last week po kasi, i drove to Ilocos Norte from Baguio at 3AM in the morning and was so glad i spent time putting on rain repellant on car windshields & side mirrors. Somewhere in Ilocos sur, it rained cats & dogs. Lakas ng ulan, ang lakas pa ng hangin. Though it was already 7am, parang 5Am pa rin sa dilim ng daan. At any rate, nakikita ko naman clearly yung daan. Only thing stopping me from driving beyond 70kph was hyrdoplaning.

Question for those in the know, since the product is chemical based, would it have bad side effects on the windshields?

Brands i've tried are: RainX, AutoGard Rain Repellent & Rain Act.

Na-try ko na Rain-x. OK sa umpisa pero after a few use, hindi na smooth and takbo ng wipers. Parang tumatalon dahil dumidikit kahit b-new na Bosch wipers gamit ko.

[kulaog]

Yeah. Napansin ko rin yung tumatalon at times pag di kalakasan ang ulan. I use bosch wipers too.

Curious ako if it has any effect on wiper rubber.

One coat is only good for one wiper use session. After that, you'd have to re-apply a new coat.

Using the wiper will partially remove some portions of the coat. When that happens, the wipers will start to skip and judder.

*fuego & kulaog: same as I've experienced that for years. Sa una, maganda pa glide & slide nung wiper, pero pagtumatagal na, ayun na pumapanget na kamot, kakairita yung tunog.

Para rin kasing principle & concept ng 'grease stripper' yan eh, pag-inapply mo sa plato, then scratch it by fingers, may resistance di tuluy-tuloy yung glide, ikanga di smooth (like sa mga commercial). So I think that causes it (wiper) to skip.

so pano mareremedyohan ung talon ng wipers? kc ganyan din ung case sa corolla ng frend ko. oo nga, nkakairita, ang ingay sobra ng wipers nya. nagsstall pa minsan dahil dumidikit midway thru the wipe. kahit palitan ng bago wipers, nag sskip and jump pa rin....

TIA

I've already try Rain Repellent (250ml) - Auto-Gard | Premium Car Care Products this product for almost 3yrs. Ok naman cya at wala akong naencounter na ganung problem sa inyo.

ayos din iyong turtle wax clearvue

it works pretty well during heavy downpours. so far there has been no wiper judder and the like.

I currently use the MicroMagic Rain Repellant, sobrang hirap lang ilagay pero ngayong tag ulan para sakin worth the effort lol.

Sa lumang sasakyan namin nag judder ang wiper, sa bago hindi naman, lalong madulas pa nga siya.
