hi. i tried using this product and it's good as window cleaner but not as good as water repellant. I guess you need to apply Rain Clear water repellant to maximize the water repelling action of rain clear which I have not tried yet because I can't find one.

I've tried it. And it's a good product for those times when you need a quick AIO for your windshield and side mirrors.

But... it should be noted that I have used it as a mere maintenance/booster product in between my regular claybar, Glass Scrub, and Rain Clear Gel regimen.

Hope this helps.

thanks for the feedback guys

clarification, so it's not that effective as a rain repellant but it's good as a glass cleaner?
RAIN CLEAR GEL is still the best for rain repellant?
TIA TIA =)

To put things into perspective, a comparison of the spray with the gel is not a fair one, as they are of different categories.

Used properly, I would still consider the Glass Cleaner & Rain Repellent Spray as that which leaves some water repellent coating on your windshield - and it performs well IME. In one of my vehicles, i haven't done a Glass Scrub and Rain Clear Gel routine for more than six (6) months now. I've just done a weekly application of the Rain Clear Spray. No water spot problem so far.

No judders - my guess is that my prep (clay and Mothers Chrome Polish or Glass Scrub) of the glass helped a lot. You might even find that you won't even use your wipers as often. IME, I still get relatively good visibility during a rain because it just beads up on the windshield.

What if I don't do the prep? (cause i don't have the budget yet).. Will it still work if I only just clean the glass and then apply the Rain clear spray?
I have an Armorall Auto Glass Cleaner (Spray) too btw..Does it also come in handy when it comes to caring/maintenance of the glass?

edit: BTW may I know po what are the brands of those prep items you use? Just in case lang po pag nakaipon ng konti ma-try naman..

Back when I was using water repellents (Rain-X) on my windows, I don't use it on my front windshield because it causes my wipers to skip. I just use the product on my other glass surfaces (sides, rear and mirrors).

I don't see the need to use it on the front windshield since the wiper will remove the repellent film after a few minutes of wiper action.

The ones I used are the detailing clay, and either the Mother's Chrome Polish or the Glass Scrub. Good luck.
