windshield rain repellant?

[spyghost]

i'd recommend rain clear. its like a wax for the windsheild. the glass is smoother and glossier after. plus it doesn't contain alcohol unlike rain x. alcohol+rubber= bad combination.

i agree to this... i am a new rain clear user and very satisfied. i recommend this product as well.

ang suggestion ko lang talaga regarding this is, dapat napakalinis ng salamin at tuyong tuyo.

call me nuts, but i was able to drive home from ortigas to marikina w/o using wipers.

the heavier the downpour of rain the better it performs. the faster you go, the better it performs.

share ko lang po
ang pagkakaalam ko pag natuyo ang rain repellant sa windshield lalong hindi nagiging smooth ang takbo ng wiper parang tumatalon talon, ang besides kasi sa mga aircraft meron mga service bullitine na pina dedeactivite na ang rain repellant kasi masama sa environment.
sahre ko lang po, baka iba pagdating sa auto

masubukan nga iyan pagka ubos ng rain X na gamit ko.

Pero OK naman for me ang rain X.

wala po ba kayong naging problema sa wiper nyo? i mean tulad nung sabi ng iba nagjjudder yung wipers?
BTW pwede rin po ba ito sa side mirrors? hoping for your reply thanks

nope, no problems at all. my stock (orignal casa) wiper glides smoothly. the key here is the prep work. the glass should be "super clean." if possible it should be polished either with a circular polish or elbow grease.

in my case, i used a generic rubbing compound, mf and elbow grease. for final polishing (prior to rain clear), i just used newspaper.

for the application and final polishing of rain clear, just clean paper towels.

Ang problem ko sa wipers, masyadong madiin siguro kaya nag-iinit yung windshield. Tapos, dahil malamig ang loob ng sasakyan dahil sa aircon, nagkakaroon ng frosting sa labas dahil nga sa friction gawa ng hagod ng wipers. Ito ay nangyayari kapag maulan at kailangan constant wiping. Sa gabi, nakakainis makita yung frosting. Hassle sa pagmamaneho.

I'm thinking, kung may effective na rain repellent (di ko na kasi inulit yung pagpahid ng Rain-X nung napansin ko yung frosting), hindi ko na kailangan mag-wiper. No wiping = no frosting. Tinigilan ko yung Rain X sa udyok ng ilang Tsikoteers dahil nga pag nagtatagal, nagkaka-shudder ang wipers. Kaso, yun nga, dahil walang repellent (puro glass cleaner lang), kailangan gumamit ng wipers.

Parang wala ring effect yung Rain Away.

Wala bang frosting sa Rain Clear?

[spyghost]

the trial size of rain clear gel (one satchet) is 75. the tube i think costs more or less 500. it includes a sample of glass scrub already.

sa akin wala naman... umaga, tanghali, gabi, min, med, max ang lamig so far wala naman. frosting might also be mistaken for some dirt accumulated. are your vents closed?

thanks for this. anyone here can post proper steps to do prior in applying rain clear?

baka magastos ung pre works

Yes, they are. Yung frosting na sinasabi ko, sa labas yun, ha. Pag maliwanag (afternoon), makikita mo yung frost na unti-unting mawawala pagkatapos tumigil ng wipers. So kung tuloy-tuloy ang wipers, hindi nawawala. Although hindi siya kasing-opaque ng inner frosting pag hindi ka naka-aircon, nakakairita pa rin.

cheapest is elbow grease... as in kayod. i have this cheap rubbing compound na nabibili ng tingi sa mga auto supply. yung aking asa bote ng mayo :P.

steps ko is wash the glass with soapy water - what i used is the car wash shampoo. rinse this and dry. with mf i rubbed the glass with the rubbing compound until you can no longer see the "wiper marks." i did it twice.

sa case ko kasi yung mga nahahagod ng wiper e malinis. yung di tinatamaan ng wiper, madumi kasi tadtad ng watermarks. kung tuyo hindi kita ang watermarks. makikita lang to kapag basa ang salamin. so its best to know where your wiper borders are para mafocus mo yung rub.

i used clean newspaper for polishing the rubbing compound residue.

to test for precense of water marks, just spray or pour water on the glass. kung malinis na, dapat hindi maghahati ang tubig mo into two regions... the wiped and unwiped. kung marumi, me tendency magsheet/streak ang tubig sa parts na nahahagod ng wiper at magbead naman at mag-blur sa portions na di tinatamaan ng wiper.

tuyuin mabuti ang salamin before applying the gel. as in tuyo! apply gel like wax and remove like wax. until no haziness can be seen. mas matagal matanggal ang haziness nya compared to wax, pero compared to rainx mas madali matanggal ang haze ng rain clear.

i believe your glass/wiper is streaking. streaking is a result of two things... old and/or dirty wiper blades and/or dirty glass.

try cleaning your glass "well" not just a simple wash and dry. kung hindi umubra or nabawasan lang, it may be due to dirty or old wiper blades.

Ako after carwash and dapat dry na yung glass. Kung may watermarks dapat matanggal muna using glass scrub or rubbing compound


Sir gamit ka ng sponge na pang dishwashing yung foam side lang and wag ung scrubbing side.. Ginamit ko yung meguiars wax applicator ko nasira sya parang natunaw dahil sa rain clear.

Nah. Got new wiper blades, newly "rubbed" windshield. I'm thinking it's just too much friction. What else would explain the "isang hagod, konting frost, unti-unting mawawala" phenomenon?

I don't experience this on my old vehicle, malamang dahil mahina na ang hatak ng wiper springs, so hindi na madiin sa windshield.

Thanks.

salamat dito mga sirs. may bad effect ba if ever typical cleaning lang ginawa mo sa windshield tapos apply mo na rain clear?

[Mile2]

IMO, hindi frost yan, residual haze siya ng wax or other water repellant that you applied before. Try to clean the glass with kerosene and buff it with clean cloth or newspaper.

Kung mapapansin mo some part are clear and without haze, yan yung mga part na nabura na ng wiper blades.

[spyghost]

wala namang adverse effect. sayang lang. me possibility lang ng chatter ng blades. kung maglalagay ng gel ng hindi ganon ka linis parang nagpinta ka ng kalawang
