I was wondering if anyone used a product like this. On my 4 wheeler, once I get above 40 I can turn my wipers off and see better than with them on. There are several products that may be able to do this so I'm not recommending this one, but it works for me.

Yeah RainX is good. I have a friend who is detail nut and he has used them all. He just uses wax as well and says it is cheaper in the long run than others.

Yeah I use Aqua-Pel, its ten times better than rain x and lasts about 6months. I use it on all the glass and my mirrors and it really helps a lot when raining especially on the mirrors.

Does any of this stuff do any good on the inside of the windshield/windows? I'm thinking of the haze from cigar/cigarette smoke.

another windshield tip is Bon Ami cleanser- if your windshield is grimed and bugged up- it cleans it up very easily- and it's non abrasive so it won't scratch your glass. I've even used it on leather seats before conditioning.

Try it- Bon Ami, then your water displacer product... Works great!
